Paddy’s been a lonely soul since his marriage fell apart following Chas’s betrayal.
And while spending the night with his first wife Mandy might have felt like a good idea after a couple of bottles of red, has the spontaneous passion left him feeling even more blue?
For after setting off to run an errand, Paddy failed to return, leaving the Dingles feeling desperate over his whereabouts.
The clan are on edge as the police are called over missing Paddy but when PC Swirling arrives he has news about a potential sighting. However they are soon left frustrated following the copper’s revelations about the missing vet.
Chas and Mandy team up
He shares some CCTV footage of the missing villager. But, assuming he’s not in danger, it seems the police aren’t going to carry on looking for Paddy, and will simply wait for him to return – if that’s what he’s got in mind…
Bear heads out, angry at the new developments.
The Dingles feel glum as they try to get their heads around the idea that Paddy’s safe but doesn’t want to come home.
But it seems two of the three Dingle women who’ve been Mrs Paddy Kirk – cousins Chas and Mandy – aren’t prepared to simply sit and wait for him to turn up.
So the next day after finding Paddy’s hiding place at a nearby guesthouse, the nervous women go searching for him.
Only they don’t realise that Paddy’s has spotted them, and it’s obvious that he’s not ready to be found yet…
He may be missing but surely Paddy’s not set to say goodbye to the village?
