Emmerdale‘s Bear Wolf is set to receive a nasty shock ahead of a big new storyline.

Bear is currently in a unique living situation, with his son Paddy Dingle, Mandy Dingle and Liam Cavanagh all squeezed under the same roof.

However, things are about to be shaken up at Tenant House, leaving Bear worried about his living arrangements.

In upcoming episodes, Liam starts to feel out of place with the Dingles and is left red-faced following an awkward encounter. The doctor accidentally catches Mandy in an unguarded moment at the house.

After rushing out of the building, Liam’s desperate to avoid any further embarrassment. He asks Chas if he can move in with her, and luckily for him, she agrees.

Meanwhile, Paddy and Mandy are surprised when Chas warns them that Bear might be feeling insecure about his living arrangements.

However, when Bear returns to find the couple have put his belongings into boxes, he’s left feeling anxious about what it could mean.

Is Bear being forced out of the house, or is there another explanation?

Bear’s sudden change in residence could be setting the scene for his big upcoming storyline, which was recently teased by Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw.

“He’s going to go off screen for a little while, he’s going to go missing. And when he comes back, what you’ll see is a very different Bear in a really different situation,” she told Digital Spy and other media.

“We’re all going to be watching and going, ‘What the hell has happened here?’ That’s going to be really exciting.”
