Emmerdale has aired some upsetting scenes tonight, as Paddy Kirk was brought back to a very dark time in his life. But thankfully, he decided to confide in his best pal, Marlon Dingle.

Over the last few years, Paddy has had quite the difficult time. When he and Chas went through their break-up, Paddy actually went missing for a while, and when he was found, he revealed he wanted to die.

Now that the trial is quickly approaching, Paddy is once again feeling quite low, and tonight, things got even worse for him. However, Emmerdale spoilers confirm a special episode is just around the corner.

Paddy struggled in Emmerdale tonight

In Emmerdale tonight, Paddy got notified that the trial date had been set. And everyone was shocked it was scheduled for May 4, as it is just mere weeks away.

But when Dylan heard the news, he started freaking out, scared about spending the rest of his life in prison. However, Mandy and Paddy assured him they would do whatever they could to help him cope.

They decided to spend the day as a family, taking Dylan and Eve out for some quality time. And things seemed to be going okay when Eve showed Dylan a painting she did which he was included in.

However, it was clear Paddy’s head wasn’t fully in the conversations and when he was alone, he headed to the vets. He finds the gun that he took last time he felt down, and has a load of flashbacks to his suicide attempt.

But thankfully, Paddy decided to go knock on Marlon’s door instead.

When is Paddy and Marlon’s special episode?

The emotional ending of the episode neatly sets up Friday night’s special two-hander. For a whole episode, fans will be treated to just Paddy and Marlon.

Emmerdale is no stranger to doing special eps, especially recently. But this one will be purely Paddy and Marlon, as the two pals come together after everything that’s happened.

Spoilers tell us that Paddy begins to spiral about what it all means for his family, but when Marlon tries to help, Paddy admits he doesn’t know how to get out of the darkness.

But Marlon does. He decides the pair of them need to head to the farm where Ray and Celia kept Bear and the other forced workers, and smash the place up.

Will this be the help both of them needed?
