Emmerdale tonight: Paddy finds out Mandy's sex secret

Emmerdale tonight saw Bear expose Mandy to Paddy even after he promised not to. Seeing his bride-to-be selling herself online shook Paddy to the core as he declared he didn’t know if there would be a wedding.

Meanwhile, Victoria’s fish finger lunch impressed John, but her constant pushing to be a faaaamily did not, so he’s off. Or is he?

Here’s what went down in Emmerdale on Wednesday August 14.

Bear exposed Mandy

Now he knows Mandy’s secret, Bear questioned Paddy over whether he was doing the right thing. “It’s like going back to where I belong,” Paddy said of Mandy – sort of forgetting it didn’t work out last time.

Meanwhile Tracy caught Mandy mid-findom and was shocked. But Mandy insisted she’d almost cleared her debts and it was all brilliant. Blimey, three days work to clear off several credit cards plus the tax man – sign us up!

Bear then confronted Mandy, who desperately tried to explain herself. She begged him not to tell Paddy, and he did agree so as not to break his son’s heart. But he made Mandy promise she would pack it in immediately.

She agreed. But then she got one more offer of £300 from a new client and decided to take it to clear off that last bit of debt. Oh Mandy. If only she hadn’t got greedy, Paddy might never have known, but in fact the client was Bear who was trying to make sure she had quit like she promised.

When he realised she hadn’t, he showed Marlon, Chas and crucially Paddy what Mandy was doing. They were stunned and Paddy said he wasn’t sure he could go ahead with the wedding.

Victoria wouldn’t leave John alone

Victoria confided in Pollard about John’s attitude. But as they talked by Jack’s grave, Eric told her not to give up on him yet. So she gave him fish finger sandwiches for lunch and encouraged him to play football with Harry.

It seemed John was softening – apparently he’d eat fish fingers every day if he could. But then Victoria pushed again and it all went wrong. The offer of a beer and family movie night was a step too far. John decided he was done with life at Vic’s and he was off.

They way Victoria has been acting, we can’t really blame him.

Tom’s still lurking

Tom was lurking in the café, still bombarding Belle with texts. Stupidly, this time she replied and told him they needed to talk and that she was coming home tomorrow.

Tom immediately assumed it meant they were getting back together and short of packing his things and moving himself back home, he settled for letting himself in and sitting smugly with a glass of wine thinking he’d won.

Let’s hope a reunion is not what Belle wants to talk about. And him suffering a slow, painful death is.

Angel got aggressive

Jimmy and Nicola were worried sick about Angel, thinking someone had beaten her up and left her with serious injuries. Jimmy even decided to drive down to Bristol to find out exactly what was going on.

But he got halfway there and got a call to say what we already knew: Angel had started the fight, not been the victim. Jimmy said he’s fearful his darling angel was being turned into a bad girl inside, but we’re afraid to say we think she was on that road waaay before she went down!
