Emmerdale viewers left fuming over 'disgusting' Bear Wolf twist - 'So ridiculous'

Emmerdale viewers flooded social media with backlash after Bear Wolf's (played by Joshua Richards) whereabouts were finally exposed. The retired wrestler's location finally raised suspicions after his son, Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt), received a package from his dad's friend Gnasher, with whom Bear was supposed to be staying in Ireland. As Bear headed off for Ireland three months ago, Paddy finally realised something was seriously wrong and recruited the help of his mum, Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley).

Together, they phoned mutual friends to see if anyone had heard from Bear, but quickly realised there was major cause for concern. Paddy told his mum: "Everyone's saying the same thing, they spoke regularly until a few months ago and then he went silent." After much hesitation, they finally decided it was time to report Bear to the police as a missing person, but as the episode came to a close, it was revealed that Bear had been abducted and was being forced to work as a modern-day slave for Celia (Jaye Griffiths) and Ray's (Joe Absolom) drug empire. Taking to X/Twitter with fury, one viewer penned: "Celia and Ray are disgusting! I wonder what Bear is doing there?" as a second raged: " Omg, I don't think I've ever been as angry at a TV show than the Bear storyline. Sorry, but how, HOW? Just so unbelievable and ridiculous Omg, I don't think I've ever been as angry at a TV show than the Bear storyline. Sorry, but how, HOW? Just so unbelievable and ridiculous."
