Emmerdale star details 'uncomfortable' scenes as he discusses soap future
Dominic Brunt is finding his scenes on Emmerdale quite "uncomfortable" at the moment.
The ITV soap is airing some tough scenes between Dominic's character Paddy Kirk and Chas Dingle – played by Lucy Pargeter – at present, as the couple try and work through their relationship issues. Chas had an affair with Al behind Paddy's back, leaving him heartbroken when he found out and struggling to cope with it all.
The pair are now locked in a battle over their daughter, as they struggle through the split. Actor Dominic – who has been on the soap for over two decades – admits he found filming those scenes particularly tough.

"My loyalties lie with Emmerdale, they really do. It takes about two to four years to get the funding together and sometimes films collapse and sometimes they get up and go forward but it can be a very tricky situation, but I don’t want to ever do one of them by halves, so I only do them every few years. I'm happy with Emmerdale and I really love it," he added.
