With Bear leaving the village, does this mean a permanent exit for Joshua Richards? Thankfully, it doesn’t seem like he will be leaving the show for good. At this moment, there are no reports that suggest Joshua has left his role as Bear in Emmerdale. However, sometimes the soap tries to keep things under-wraps. Emmerdale followup (Credit: ITV) Paddy is now back in the frame Bear’s exit wasn’t the only surprising thing for Emmerdale fans tonight. During her visit to the vets to speak to Paddy, DS Walsh noticed something very odd. And it puts Paddy back in the frame for Ray’s death. There was rope found in the back of the vets office. And when DS Walsh went back she took a photograph. Then she made a phone call, telling the other person that they need to bring Paddy back in for questioning. But then fans were given flashbacks to Ray’s murder cover-up, and could see that the rope was used in the back of the van. So, since Paddy has some of it, it’s clear that he had some involvement in the cover. While Emmerdale spoilers don’t tell us what happens next, it appears this storyline could go on for quite some time. What else happened in Emmerdale tonight? In Emmerdale tonight (March 2) Cain continued to struggle with everything that's going on, and things at the farm got even worse. Away from the Bear situation, there were quite a lot of Emmerdale characters facing issues tonight. Jacob accidentally was overheard telling Pollard about the trouble with his new boss – just as she walked in! So, read on for a full recap of Emmerdale tonight. Cain got bad news about the farm Cain arrived home to find Vanessa and Joe waiting for him at the farm. However, they weren't there for any good reasons. Instead, they were letting him know about the TB outbreak, and how one of the cows have already tested positive. What this means for the farm is that they can't move anything on or off until the rest of the herd has been tested. And because of the recent winter conditions, it's likely that more of them will test positive. As a result, Cain realised it may be the "end of the road" and they could have to get rid of the entire herd. Arthur felt guilty At the hospital, Laurel was touched by Arthur's present. And she appeared not to actually remember anything. But when Nicola asked her what happened, Laurel explained that the doctors couldn't work out what caused the fall. Arthur then rushed to apologise but when Laurel asked what for, he explained it was for the arguments they had previously. Laurel promised him they have a clean slate. But does this really mean the end of their arguments? Jacob was caught by his boss in Emmerdale tonight At the pub, Jacob and Eric discussed the whole Bear situation. But then it led to Jacob opening up about how his boss has been giving him a hard time. However, just as he said that, Dr Todd walked into the pub with Manpreet. Jacob was quick to apologise and that's when Dr Todd announced he would be her selection for her mentorship. While Jacob feigned being excited, it was clear he actually was dreading the whole situation. Later, when alone, Dr Todd told him he should've come to her with any issues. And that she wants five proposals on her desk by the next day – and it's obvious Jacob was terrified.
