Emmerdale revisits Paddy & Chas story when she returns
Emmerdale will be revisiting Paddy Kirk's relationship with Chas Dingle when she returns to the village later this year.
Chas is currently living away from the Dales, after Lucy Pargeter – who plays her – went on maternity leave, having given birth to twin girls.
However, executive producer Iain MacLeod has confirmed that the show will continue to explore Paddy and Chas's story as he decides to make a go of things with her upon her comeback.
Fans will remember that Chas and Paddy briefly attempted to rekindle their spark earlier in the year, but their relationship never really took off prior to her exit.
Since then, Paddy has been a pillar of support to his ex-wife Rhona Goskirk – who has faced a harrowing time after being raped by her husband Pierce Harris.
But even though Paddy will lay his heart on the line with Rhona next week, it doesn't look like a reunion between the former couple is on the cards as he'll be hoping to pick up where he left off with Chas when he sees her again.
"At the point where Chas returns, it seems that Rhona is not an option," Iain told TV Times.
"So the story then becomes, 'How do you pursue a new relationship when the woman you thought you'd spend the rest of your life with lives up the road and runs a business with you?'
"You'll just have to wait and see how this love story involving these three characters pans out."
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
