Emmerdale - Paddy's Friends and Family Tries To Be Supportive But Paddy Is Still Struggling (3/3/23)

[@jwsm2]

Mark Charnock should win some more soap awards he's been brilliant in these scenes.

[@mrzakyboy3453]

He's the MVP of the show imo

[@joshcoyle3804]

Yeah he deserves a award for doing so well he’s the best actor of Emmerdale

[@mysticrosie1335]

I understand Paddy so much as it really does feel like there's a wall of emptiness between you and those you love as he knows people love and care for him but he still feels so isolated from them. So seeing how well they have handled this storyline has made me feel so seen.

[@JustinRaff2021]

I’m feel sorry for poor April and I just wanna hug her. 💔

[@mrskewr]

Every scene Chas is in w all this whoa is me shit needs to stop. Any conversations revolving around Paddy n his wellbeing should not involve her!

[@tirsus1482]

Poor April. You just can't watch these scenes with dry eyes. Dominic is doing really great job with this plot. I hope he will get awards, he deserves them. Same goes with Mark and Amelia.

[@colinwharton]

Excellent acting by the cast such an important subject to raise

[@juanjones8050]

I think that the only person that could reach Paddy is Aaron. I wish he would come back…

[@Sam88-l4k]

When your in this state of mind no one can get through, all the people can do around you is support and be extremely patient and hopefully something will lift. Then if you get out of this you'll really appreciate those who stood by you. This is when you really know who your friends are. I know because I've been there

[@angelaholmes8888]

I hope this storyline will help others

[@connorsimpson503]

As someone who suffers from depression myself i know how Paddy feels, the constant pain and sadness, it’s not easy. I hope he can recover from this! He really should try and move on from Chas and forget about her, she’s not worth it! She’s just a cold hearted bitch.

[@mrskewr]

Agreed.

[@WilliamsVanGogh]

You do realize he is the father of all three of her children right??? So he’s not gonna just cut her out of his life. I mean they both have a young child together. But you’re right he should try to move forward.

[@GlitchingGecko]

@@WilliamsVanGogh He's been more of a parent to Aaron than she ever was. Really should have Danny Miller back for this, especially since Aaron's not only suffered depression himself, but he also tried to commit suicide.

[@mariamzare4731]

He does deserve it but she won't leave, she is always here as a constant reminder of his pain, she is not even trying to get out of his face.

[@ami5183]

He needs a lot of therapy and should never get back with her because she a danger to his mental health. She basically told him that he was a terrible father and husband/partner by her actions.

[@drewjones2072]

This man should have more than awards!! Night the man and night the director for making people aware what real life is like truly the best and most genuine soup the is! And always has been 💙

[@lauragavin9923]

It was not only Chaz cheating on Paddy, it was the constant putting him down and bullying him day in day out, she never stopped, calling him useless and pathetic in everything he did. Paddy is so supportive to Chaz no matter what is going on, Chaz is all about her self.

[@duffydreamer]

Thank you! Someone had to preach it! Chas was even going to take THEIR own child with her and run off merrily to the hills with another man, that isn't her child's father! Totally selfish!

[@lauragavin9923]

@@duffydreamer Yes. Chaz wanting to take Eve off to a new house and man and not telling Paddy first was really insensitive.

[@drewjones2072]

This story has hit home so much if it wasn't for my closest friends being there for me I can honesty say my two beautiful perfect boys would've have a daddy right no such a powerful story! I no its not real but the story they are telling is! So head up paddy there is light at the end of the tunnel I promise mate much love 💙💙

[@cathykeenan3612]

So pleased to hear you are still here for ALL the people who love and care for you. Wishing you a long, healthy and happy future. Cathy

[@nancycottone2155]

Is anyone going to mention that they said nothing about Aaron

[@nuffgul]

Right, they could've mentioned having Aaron call Paddy to speak to him at least or Paddy going to meet Aaron to make a break from everything. It's like he never existed

[@abbieroseholden4174]

Anyone who gets involved with Chas either ends up dead and depressed anyway: Carl King Al Chapman Gordon Livesy James Barton Cameron Murray Aaron Dingle Liv So basically stay away from her

Yeah and Aaron would have never left the village if his mum would have just ended the affair with Al in the first place

[@Spannie]

He needs Aaron and Marlon.

[@chuckbracken]

Absolutely brilliant..

STOOOOP IN CRYING RN 😭

[@nigelbevan8449]

This is so difficult to watch..... I see a lot of Paddy in me... You're surrounded by people who care, but you feel empty and the easiest way out is to do what this character was going to do... When people say things like "buck up", or "snap out of it", is possibly the word thing anybody can say..

Feel sorry for Paddy

[@AS-wj1du]

Paddy didn't see that doing that would end his pain but transfer it to others? And he can't come back from it? Marlon telling him to picture his funeral and people crying their eyes out should have shaken him up

[@jaydedean4690]

I some how think, rather charity or Cain will gradually hopefully help him through, they both already care about him already, and they both have been through so much them selves!!

[@elainebrown1729]

I have felt like this and it is the worst feeling in the world .

[@rebeccasyme6661]

Specking from experience I was were paddy was a year and a bit ago and nothing not no one helped even though I had the biggest support ever it's awful and I still have bad days to this day but u have to find a reason to fight I always just take it hour by hour when you in that state of mind and lying over thinking dosnt help it really dosnt its a really hard storyline the actor is doing and it's hard to watch but you know what even surviving just that hour a day is a massive massive achievement when your like that and having toxic people around dosnt help so chaz should do one only brings you down further amazing actor

hey I dislike Chas but hey she just had an affair. If snowflake Paddy can't handle rejection that's on him. They should just commit him so he doesn't kill himself. Bet Aaron will feel guilty he did not tell Paddy about the affair and stay to help him out.

[@Bruced82]

@@wtrujillo9250 "just an affaire", she manipulated half the village to keep it secret, and planned a getaway with serial cheater Al and her daughter ten villages over. She drove grieving Aaron out of the village and kept lying to him, or pretended to be Kerry's friend and share some sick form of grief over Al, then drove her out too, treated Paddy like rubbish, when he was nothing but concerned and supportive to her.

[@tirsus1482]

@@wtrujillo9250 it isn't just about Chas's affair (and her trying to go away with Al and taking Eve with them without telling Paddy). There has been just too much things happening in Paddy's life in few years. And having depression doesn't make him snowflake. You really should google what depression is and what it can do to people's mind.

[@Roxi22RNAF]

What’s paddy struggling about? He’s got a daughter ain’t he? So what’s the matter

[@mackenziemiller33]

Paddy you need to let it go

[@pryfy7746]

Easier said than done.

[@donnamorrell1895]

it's utterly consumed him, He can't let it go, thats what happens when you get stuck in a situation where nothing anyone says to you can bring you out of it, nothing anyone says or does, helps in anyway, being stuck in a pit of despair and complete hopelessness, feeling like you're on your own because no one else could possible understand how you are feeling, it gets to the point where peoples words mean nothing, because you can't feel it anymore, you can't feel their love, being stuck in a river of sorrow, the only thing one can do in that situation is run the rapids, and hope that the support network you have during the ride is strong enough to stop you committing suicide until the river of pain ends and you can find your way out. but I suppose, only those who have been in this situation would truly understand, and telling anyone, to "Let it go" like he's just being stupid, or getting upset over nothing, Well it would be more likely for them to say "Ok, I'll let go of my life" and then they commit suicide, so well done for the least comforting words imaginable to someone who's feeling suicidal. just my opinion

[@anthonytony807]

Mackenzie Fraser stfu let it go u have no idea what depression or feeling numb and dont know what to do about your self words mean nothing when your like tha its like faint words and u carnt hear them and its also like you are dead in a way cause u feel so unemotionless your just a empty shell walking about cause all the rest of you has disapeard so in future think before u say

[@Ju1ian10001]

Problem with depression is you can't let things go, they just keep going around in circles in your mind.

[@donnamorrell1895]

@@Ju1ian10001 agreed, intrusive thoughts that just won't stop swirling around your mind, are impossible to ignore, and impossible not to listen to them, no matter how dark they get, you begin thinking that those intrusive thoughts might have the right idea, i feel really sorry for those that go through this, without a loving support next work around them, it can seem a thousand times worse going through it your own, because there's not a single person around you that would hold you back, even if you attempted it.
