Emmerdale fans love the ‘new’ Paddy as they declare: ‘Never thought he had it in him’

Paddy's reaction had fans cheering for the vet

Fans of Emmerdale were thrilled by last night’s episode, in which Paddy revealed to Chas that he knew exactly what she had been up to in her affair with Al.

Chas thought that she and Paddy were getting away from it all on a Christmas break.

She was relieved by their surprise trip, with Belle threatening to tell Paddy about the affair.

But she was in for a shock when Paddy finally confronted her.

Paddy confronts Chas over her affair

Instead of their romantic getaway, Paddy drove them to a cottage outside of the village.

He asked Chas if she recognised it as the home Al had bought for them both.

As Paddy revealed that Belle had already told him about the affair, Chas’s world came crashing down.

He calmly explained that they were going to make arrangements for daughter Eve.

Back in the village, Chas was also confronted by Moira, who had also learned of the affair from Belle.

Viewers loved Paddy’s composure and behaviour throughout, and have hailed him for his reaction to the affair.

“At last, Paddy played a blinder,” another wrote.

“Brilliant move on Paddy’s part, taking Chas to the house Al brought to confront her about her affair,” said another viewer.

“Wow, love how you did this Paddy! Wasn’t expecting that at all!” Exclaimed a fourth.

“I am loving Paddy being so savage towards Chas, she deserves every moment of this,” said another.

Another agreed: “Paddy Kirk you beauty. You’ve played a blinder. I never thought you had it in you.”

What’s next for Paddy and Chas on Emmerdale?

During their confrontation, Paddy told Chas that they would work something out for Eve.

He explained that he was going to pack his bags and move out.

Back in the village, a furious Moira was lying in wait for Chas.

Belle had also told her about the affair.

As she exploded at Chas, Charity tried to hold Moira back.

Moira violently elbowed Charity in the face.

With her affair public knowledge, is there any way back for Chas?
