Ok so was away and just watch the episode where Tess dies. Did anyone other than me cheer or am I just a sicko? And here was I today thinking that no one will ever know about Paddys affair now that the homewrecker is dead? Well for a brief moment anyway.
And OMG just read what I wrote, no more red wine for you than. LOL
I reckon Tess was a lovely woman. She seems to have been in a very unhappy and unfulfilling marriage (Pierce has a lot to answer maybe?). Tess was a school-teacher-assistant and clearly loved having kids around her and maybe really wanted kids of her own but, for some reason, Pierce couldn't give her these (maybe he was just too busy globe-trotting as a busy businessman or was simply too insensitive to Tess's needs?)
Paddy, as a bald guy, must have exuded testosterone and appeared to have been a terrifically fertile guy for Tess...
Unfortunately, our "star-crossed lovers" have had a tragic ending, so baldy Romeo has now lost his lovely Juliet. Booo! Emmerdale storyliners have really sucked yet again...
This has been such a terrible storyline for me, just an unthinkable end for Tess really.
So long, Kate Oates. I don't really think we'll see the full, clean and better influence of Iain MacLeod on Emmerdale until around mid-August 2016?
Emmerdale star Dominic Brunt has revealed that he receives X-rated fan mail - from the show's older viewers.
The actor, who plays cheating Paddy Kirk on the ITV soap, admitted that he gets "sex letters" from women who have taken a shine to his character.
Speaking to The Mirror, he said: "These days you're more likely to get comments on Twitter but I get a lot of rude letters, too.
"They're probably similar to the kind Alan Titchmarsh gets - Paddy is very safe and kind so they think, 'I know, I'll project my sexual fantasies on to him'.
"I'd get sex letters from 60-year-olds, saying, 'I've had rumblings I've not had for 30 years' and telling me what they want to do to me. It's hilarious."
Paddy embarked on an affair with married schoolteacher Tess Harris last year, but a shocking twist last week saw her killed off in a hit-and-run.
Tonight's episodes will see Paddy's marriage fall apart when the penny finally drops for his devastated wife Rhona.

I always thought Paddy's Juliet was Mandy Dingle, loved them together :pQuote:

Paddy Kirk has left Emmerdale.
The village's resident vet - who is played by actor Dominic Brunt - left the village for good alone after splitting with wife Rhona when she decided to not move to Germany with him after the knowledge of his affair with Tess Harris became too much.
"It's all such a mess. Getting away isn't going to fix this," an emotional Rhona told Paddy.
"I don't want to be this person, checking your phone all the time, wondering who you've been with when you're late home. We're already broken, Paddy. We are. And a ferry to Hamburg is not going to make the slightest bit of difference to that.
"I'm sorry, I hate this just as much as you do but I can't be that person. First thing in the morning and last thing at night I would look at you and remember what you did to me. Please don't make me hate you, Paddy."
Paddy then understood and admitted that he couldn't face staying in the village with Rhona there, so he decided to leave for Germany alone.
"I can't stay here seeing you every day and the practice and the village," he said.

"It just wouldn't work. I heard what you said and I think it's best that I go. Unless you don't want me to?"
"No, you're right. It's for the best," she replied.
And with that he walked out of the house and began to pack the car to leave.
"I'm going to miss you so much," he told her as she had absolutely no reaction, adding: "Maybe you'll miss me?"
Rhona then told him he'd miss his ferry and told him goodbye, but is that it?
Has one of Emmerdale's most beloved character's left the village without so much as a dramatic exit or shocking death?
It turns out not, as an Emmerdale source confirmed to Mirror TV that the vet will be back in a few months time.
But whether he'll be alone, that's another question entirely. Of course not :p

Paddy Kirk's marriage crisis has just taken another big twist in Emmerdale, as he left the village without his wife Rhona.
The troubled couple had vowed to take an extended break in Germany to save their troubled relationship, but the plan fell through at the last minute when Rhona suddenly got cold feet.
Finally coming to the sad realisation that she could never forgive Paddy for cheating on her, Rhona told him: "I'm sorry, but I can't be that person. First thing in the morning and last thing at night I would look at you and remember what you did to me. Please don't make me hate you, Paddy."
Rhona's brutal honesty devastated Paddy, who then made a huge decision of his own when he realised that he couldn't continue living in the village if his marriage was over.

After saying some very emotional goodbyes to Rhona and his stepson Leo, a heartbroken Paddy drove off to catch his ferry - finally realising the full cost of his recent affair with Tess Harris.
The good news is that Emmerdale fans don't have to get to work on a 'Bring Back Paddy' petition. Digital Spy can reveal that Dominic Brunt has just taken a short break from filming, but he will be returning to our screens as Paddy before too long.
Viewers will have to stay tuned to find out when and why Paddy returns to the village and if there's any hope that Rhona has missed him once he's back...

Emmerdale's producer Iain MacLeod has hinted that Paddy Kirk will redeem himself when he returns to the village later this year.
Dominic Brunt will soon return to filming at the ITV soap after taking an extended break from his role as Paddy.
Paddy walked out of his life in Emmerdale in April after his affair with Tess Harris led to the breakdown of his marriage to Rhona.
In his absence, Rhona has embarked on a shocking relationship of her own with Tess's husband Pierce, who is still grieving following the shock death of his wife.
MacLeod revealed: "Paddy returns at the end of August to find that Marlon has hooked up with Carly and doesn't know what the hell to do with himself.
"He also comes back to discover that Rhona, the woman he thought he'd spend the rest of his life with, has taken up with Pierce, the widower of his dead mistress. That's an episode of Jeremy Kyle I look forward to watching later this year!
"Paddy comes back to find the whole landscape changed. I've just signed off on the episodes where he comes back and they're funny, there's the bromance with him and Marlon, and there's the heartbreak. They're just excellent and lovely."
He continued: "They're also a good chance for Paddy to redeem himself as a character. I think we'd all agree that him sleeping with Tess turned him into a baddie for a while and the viewers probably weren't on his side for most of that time.
"He's got a big point to prove, which is that he's a good guy. He's determined to put things right by Rhona, so there's a big romantic dilemma for her."
MacLeod also added that Pierce shouldn't necessarily be seen as the villain of the piece, pointing out that the story is more complex than that.
Asked whether Pierce has a dark side, he replied: "Pierce has his insecurities over what happened with Tess. He's a man who's obviously still troubled over all of that and has attachment issues and some jealousy, I suppose.
"But I don't think I'd use the phrase 'dark side'. There's a story we are going to tell that is very complicated and quite difficult."

Dominic Brunt has expressed interest in continuing his role of Paddy Kirk for years to come.
First arriving in the Yorkshire Dales-based soap 23 years ago, the actor has become one of the longest-serving cast members currently on the show.
Catching up with Inside Soap recently, Dominic cast an eye on the future.
"I've had enough shady jobs to know this is one of the best in the world," he reflected.
"I love it, I'm proud of it and I'm loyal to it. I still find it difficult and it makes me nervous, you can't just busk it! But honestly, if they said: 'Sign here for another 23 years', I'd bite their hand off!
"If they'll keep writing for me, I'll keep putting the effort in for them. It's whipped by in an instant so far."
Elsewhere, the 50-year-old revealed that Paddy and Chas Dingle's current storyline (she's been flirting with Al Chapman behind Paddy's back) could leave him "devastated".
"He comes out of The Woolpack and overhears them coming back and she says, 'Maybe we should spend some time together somewhere like a pub or a hotel'," said Dominic. "So he hears the last bit which is pretty devastating."
But would Chas really cheat on Paddy?
