Dylan knows the truth about Bear Wolf in Emmerdale and he knows Celia is evil. Realising just how deep he – and the forced workers – are in, Dylan acts today.

Dylan couldn’t believe it when he saw Bear (Credit: ITV) Dylan discovered Bear in Emmerdale Last night (Tuesday December 2) it was Dylan‘s 18th birthday, but he was forced to do a job for Celia instead of celebrating with Mandy, Paddy, Marlon and Rhona. At the farm Dylan was presented with Robbie, who Celia believed had grassed on them. Dylan was given the opportunity to dish out the consequences with a baseball bat. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Dylan ultimately couldn’t go through with hurting Robbie. So Mick, who had been brought back to the farm, was given the job instead. Celia took Dylan outside and told him about the forced workers. She said she was putting him in charge of them – ‘replacing Ray’ – and he wasn’t given an option to turn down her generous promotion. Dylan later went to check on Robbie and was horrified at the state of him. But then he noticed someone else, an old man, who just happened to be Bear Wolf. Of course, Dylan knows him from the photos at home and knows how much Paddy has been missing him. However, earlier in the episode Ray had told Bear, whose birthday it was as well, that his son hadn’t tried to call or anything, so he might as well stay at the farm with them. So how will Bear react to being recognised? Ray and Celia aren’t happy (Credit: ITV) Celia makes plans for Dylan and Bear in Emmerdale In tonight’s episode Dylan talks to Bear and tries to convince him his family misses him. But Bear is unresponsive and Dylan has to go. Celia wants to take Dylan’s phone and insists he hand it over. He says he’s left it at home so she offers to drive him to retrieve it. With Celia’s eyes on him, he’s unable to get to Paddy to warn him about Bear. But he does encounter Marlon who wants to know why he hasn’t shown up at his own birthday party. Dylan manages to get Marlon alone briefly and can only give him a terrifying warning: get April to the police and tell her to confess everything now as she is in serious danger. Marlon acts and goes to find April, but Celia corners Dylan in Tennants. She wants to know what Marlon said and she wants Dylan’s phone. However she also notices Dylan acting shifty – and he can’t hide the photo of Bear and Paddy quick enough. Celia sees it, realises their connection and goes mad. Although she hides it from Dylan she calls Ray home and tells him what she has learnt. She lays into Ray blaming him for everything. And then she delivers her demands: deal with Dylan and Bear – for good. This sounds like a killer threat to us. But will Ray really go through with murdering them? He’s clearly got a soft spot for them both after all, so can he put that behind him to obey his mother’s orders? Dylan knows what Celia is and he is afraid (Credit: ITV) Fans worried Those who have already watched at home are suitably terrified for Dylan’s safety now. “I’m so scared for Dylan omfg,” said one on social media. “Love Dylan, hope nothing happens to him,” echoed another. A third said: “I just hope that he survives through this ordeal and lives a happy life with Paddy, Mandy and April.” “Oh Dylan please please please get Bear out,” begged a fourth. A fifth prophesised: “The moment Dylan found Bear on Celia’s farm. I don’t think any of us expected this. Let’s hope Dylan does the right thing – but will he pay the price for trying to save Bear or will he obey Celia? Emmerdale is on fire right now!” Read more: Who’s leaving Emmerdale?
