EMMERDALE’s Bear Wolf laid into an unexpected villager on today’s episode as they suffered an explosive run-in.

In recent weeks, the dad of Paddy Kirk has been seen getting increasingly agitated and clashing with many of his closest relatives.

Despite living with Paddy and Mandy, there have been signs that Bear has been feeling pushed out and with not much to keep him occupied.

As a result, Mandy and Paddy bought him a motorbike to repair but after he began to do it on the kitchen table and in their way, they soon banished him to the garage to complete the project.

It has meant that he has been out of the house, something Paddy and Mandy viewed as a good thing, but for Bear he appeared to be more isolated than ever.

In tonight’s episode, his temper seemed to get the better of him as he lashed out at Kammy Hadiq during a charged moment at the garage.

As Bear continued to work on his bike, Kammy began to point out some tips on how he could do it better and more time-effective.

This left Bear frustrated as he was adamant that he knew what he was doing and did not need any input from Kammy.

Kammy said to Bear: “Just go home.

“It don’t look great, you battering the bike like a nutter!”

This comment left Bear furious as he stood up and grabbed the youngster in a fit of rage.

Violently shaking him, Bear screeched at Kammy: “Don’t call me a nutter!

“I could snap you like a twig.”

Holding back a punch, Kammy shouted at Bear to get off him as Paddy arrived.

Shocked to see his dad in such an angry state, Paddy insisted Bear let Kammy go before he watched his dad sulk off.

Later on, Bear was left unhappy when Paddy questioned him on the day’s antics.

Attempting to enjoy his evening meal, he said he would eat alone in his room to avoid the questioning.

Alarmed, Paddy insisted to Mandy that Bear appeared to be acting oddly but she did not appear to share the same thinking.

Fans of Emmerdale know that a huge story is looming for Bear.

He will soon disappear and not be seen on screen for some time but it won’t be disclosed as to just exactly why he had fled.

Speaking at a recent press event, Bear actor Joshua Richards said:  “He alters somewhat, he’s not too good here (pointing to his head) for some reason which we don’t know why.

“He’s being slightly erratic emotionally and with his mood swings.

“There’s periods of forgetfulness and the kind of things that happen with a man of his age.”
