Bear needs help in Emmerdale spoilers

Bear has struggled to cope since he killed Ray Walters. Paddy has tried numerous ways to support his dad, but none of them seem to be working.

This week Bear begged Manpreet for some painkillers, like Ray used to give him. But she refused, citing his addiction meant it wouldn’t be ethical to prescribe him any more. She advised over-the-counter medication and more counselling.

But that was not enough for Bear, so he went and checked in to hospital over his hurt hand. However he then quickly checked himself out again. And, after a scuffle with Jacob, no one knows where he went.
