Anya’s laid to rest as Bear is torn over what to do next in Emmerdale

Will he escape or stay with Ray?

 22-28 NOVEMBER

Following the sad passing of Bear’s friend Anya last week, he’s distraught when Mick and Simo reveal that Ray has dumped Anya’s body in the feed shed.

Confronting Ray over how he treated Anya's body, Bear’s blind with rage and grief, and as his anger builds to a boiling point, he walls Ray up. Ray manages to talk Bear round, but is worried after he insists on coming to Anya’s funeral.

When Ray tells Celia about Bear’s insistence on having a funeral for Anya, she formulates a plan. That evening, Celia reveals the makeshift funeral to Bear and Ray in one of Butler’s fields.

Initially put out by the lack of formality, Bear is shocked to realise he and Ray are expected to dig Anya’s grave. A while later, with Anya now in her makeshift grave, Bear makes a speech as Celia watches on, devoid of emotion.

Meanwhile, Mick and Simo continue to try to convince brainwashed Bear that Ray’s lying to him. They tell him about their plans to escape, and Bear is torn as he stares at a photo of Anya’s daughter. Thinking of Paddy, he’s unsure whether to join the planned escape or stay with Ray.
