EMMERDALE star Dominic Brunt has confirmed his future on the soap after his character’s dad Bear Wolf became a killer last week.

The actor – who has played vet Paddy Kirk for 29 years – has spoken out after the shock twist saw Bear strangle gangster Ray Walters – with Paddy helping cover it up.

Viewers watched as Bear revealed himself to be alive just as Ray was about to kill his son Paddy and Dylan.

Paddy begged for help but it appeared that Ray’s control over Bear had convinced him to go outside and leave him to it.

But at the last moment Bear returned and grabbed Ray from behind and slowly killed him to put an end to his reign of terror in the village.

Fans know Ray killed his own mother Celia after she told him she had killed Bear herself.

Ray even saw Bear’s body but he couldn’t face going near him so he didn’t check whether he was alive.

Instead Bear was left alone and wandered back to the village where he found Ray trying to kill his son – and he took action.

And after the shock event, Paddy leapt into action to cover up the crime – moving the body and dumping it in a Milligan haulage van.

But with Paddy now implicated in murder – could it be the end of his time in the village?

Actor Dominic has revealed whether he will be staying on the soap or not.

“I think I’ve been so lucky for so long,” he told the Mirror.

“If they told me I was going I would be sad, but I’ve got to be grateful for everything.

“It completely changed my life. Hopefully I’ll be here for another 29 years.”
