The actor who plays Bear, Joshua, spoke out about getting the role in 2019 and explained there was a special reason he auditioned to be Paddy’s father.
Joshua said: “My mum Jean was an ardent fan. We watched it when it was Emmerdale Farm and she would have been over the moon that I was doing it but we lost her last year.
“It’s really sad that she couldn’t be around to watch me in it. She didn’t know I got the part. I just thought, if only my mum was here to see this.”
Discussing being a character on the show, he added: “It’s my first soap and I love it. It’s not as daunting as I thought it would be. Everyone is so friendly.
“The learning curve is quicker. I’m used to doing large roles in the theatre where you have a long time to learn it.”
