Transcript

00:00I'm Tim O'Mara and I've been doing probably Emma Dow for nearly 30 years.

00:06Oh my gosh, and this storyline is pretty hard hitting, you must have covered quite a few.

00:12We've covered a lot of storylines over the years but I would say for me this has probably hit me

00:17more than any other storyline. One of the scenes that Josh played, normally you can come in and

00:22you can look at somebody playing a scene and emotionally I'm already prepared for it but

00:27Josh, who plays Bear, went through this particular scene and I think it's the first time I've got

00:33tearful during a rehearsal and I looked around and the crew were fighting their emotions as well

00:38at the same time and it was my wages. I say bits and butts. I'll just read this in, yes. The room looks

00:51slightly more lived in. Day 15, Bear is up in dress with his back over his shoulder, clearly on some

00:57kind of mission, as the door opens and wave comes in. Morning, morning!

01:03You're away somewhere?

01:07I'm here with Joshua on the set of Emmerdale for a very important storyline where we find out what

01:13happened to Bear when you left quite a few weeks ago. Yes, quite a long time ago.

01:19The last time we chatted. Yeah it was, three months ago. He's left the bosom of his family with Paddy and

01:26Mandy and got a hire car and disappeared off. But apparently to go to Ireland but he never gets to

01:37Ireland. He doesn't go very far at all. And all the time that we've been pondering where he is.
