Emmerdale horror as legend's child is found with sleeping tablets
A village youth is in danger (Picture: ITV) The daughter of Emmerdale legend Paddy Kirk's (Dominic Brunt) life is at risk when she's discovered with an open bottle of sleeping pills. Little Eve Dingle (Bella James) becomes collateral damage as granddad Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) continues to struggle with his insomnia. Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw hinted that Bear would be at the heart of a surprising storyline earlier this month, telling a press conference: 'He's going to go off screen for a little while and go missing.' She continued: 'And when he comes back, what you'll see is a very different Bear in a really different situation and we're all going to be watching saying 'what the hell has happened here?''. While the exact circumstances surrounding Bear's 'disappearance' remain to be seen, it's likely to tie into his sudden insomnia. But this spells danger for Eve, who leaves Paddy horrified when he and Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) find her with Bear's freshly prescribed sleeping pills. Paddy is worried about dad Bear (Picture: ITV/Shutterstock) With Bear still suffering from insomnia, Paddy and Mandy persuade him to go and see Doctor Liam (Jonny McPherson). Returning home, he promises Eve some sweets if she stays quiet. She agrees, and he heads out. Growing bored, Eve sneaks into the kitchen where she finds Bear's box of sleeping tablets… Mandy and Paddy are horrified to find Eve's been at Bear's pills (Picture: ITV) Later, Mandy and Paddy wake up after an accidental nap. They're terrified when they see that Eve's been at Bear's box of pills while they were sleeping. Is Eve about to be taken seriously ill? Bear joined the soap in 2019 (Picture: ITV/Shutterstock) With Bear's storyline only just beginning, this will likely herald his promised 'disappearance' from the village. He's been keeping a low profile in recent months, living at Tenants with Paddy, Mandy and Liam – all seemingly forgiven since he discovered that Mandy's side-hustle as a financial dominatrix. Will he be able to forgive himself in anything happens to Eve? And what will happen to him in his upcoming absence?

Huge EastEnders twist as George's whereabouts on Christmas finally revealed
The floor falls from beneath Elaine Knight's (Harriet Thorpe) feet in EastEnders next week, as she learns where her husband George (Colin Salmon) ran off to on Christmas Day. As viewers of the BBC soap will remember, every member of the Beale and Knight clans provided an alibi for their whereabouts on the festive evening. That was because wicked Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) had been viciously attacked with a snow shovel, and until February, nobody knew who was responsible. It later transpired that Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) was the culprit, but that left a lot of questions as to where everyone else was on the fateful night – and whether they were telling the truth. George told his family that he was partaking in an illegal underground boxing match, but also later asked brother Kojo (Dayo Koleosho) to back up his alibi. He then admitted to daughter Gina (Francesca Henry) that he wasn't at the fight. In scenes that air this week, Elaine is left furious when he helps out with Cindy's relaunch of The Prince Albert, and her rival karaoke party flops, and by this time next week, things aren't any better between the couple. Tension is simmering behind the bar at The Vic as she silently fumes over George lending a hand his ex-wife a hand with her re-opening. Elaine decides to show her husband how committed she is to him, and presents a touching gift honouring his boxing past. However, as they relish in happiness, his son Junior (Micah Balfour) storms in and drops a bombshell. At Christmas, George secretly visited his ex Sabrina – Junior's mum. An argument escalates when he admits that Sabrina kissed him, although he pushed her away. Elaine declares that she's had enough and throws him out of the family home. An emotional George heads out to find Junior to vent his frustration, but instead crosses paths with Cindy, who – perhaps conveniently – is there to offer a shoulder to cry on.

Later, Elaine tries to make peace and goes looking for George… only to spot him on the balcony of The Albert in a very warm embrace with Cindy. Heartbroken, she retreats to the café to gather herself. But things go from bad to worse when she returns and Felix lets slip that George and Cindy left together. More Trending Believing that he has betrayed her, Elaine decides not to wallow in self pity and calls up someone for for a drink. While she waits, a cheeky punter named Stephen tries his luck, but is quickly brushed to one side by Elaine's old pal Drew Peacock (Paul Clayton), the drag queen who had a secret relationship with her late husband. Drew gives Elaine a much-needed pep talk, reminding her to remain strong and not let Cindy get her down. Boosted by Drew's words, Elaine makes a shocking decision. View More » What does she do?
