What happens in Emmerdale tonight – Paddy injured and devastated

When Paddy notices a sheep trapped in a fence at Celia’s farm, he gallantly tries to save it. But it costs him a lot as her guard dog viciously attacks him.

Bear manages to rescue his son and rushes him to hospital. Paddy is taken in for emergency surgery and it’s clear Bear is very shaken.

However, he soon turns and lashes out at Paddy for being weak and pathetic. Mandy hustles Bear out, but Paddy is absolutely devastated by his dad’s words. Will this prompt Bear to seek help?

Soap power-hour in 2026

In October 2024, Emmerdale announced they were going to start streaming the daily episode of the soap from 7am. Despite some concerns that it meant the soap was in trouble, coupled with lots of cast exits, it has been revealed that actually it was a great move by ITV.

Stats for the first quarter of 2025 revealed that ITVX has achieved a ‘record-breaking’ billion streams in a quarter for the ‘first time ever.’ Coronation Street and Emmerdale have raked up 124 million streams on ITVX so far this year. Soap viewing is up 35 percent in comparison to the first quarter of 2024. So it seems fans are really enjoying the 7am uploads.

It’ll soon be all change once again for ITV and Emmerdale in 2026 after the soap announced a new schedule. The soap ‘power hour’ will start from next January.

Emmerdale will continue to air five nights a week. New episodes will also drop on ITVX every morning at 7am as usual – meaning we don’t have to wait all day if we don’t want to!

However, the soap will move to a new time slot of 8pm. The Thursday double bill will also be cut to half an hour to make way for additional episodes of Coronation Street.

This ensures faster-paced, digestible episodes – a 30-minute format which has already proven popular with viewers.
