Emmerdale viewers have been left concerned for the fate of two villagers after Celia made a discovery

Emmerdale has aired a worrying twist for two villagers as Celia Daniels vowed to kill them off.

During Wednesday’s trip to the village (December 3), evil Celia (Jaye Griffiths) came under threat after Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) discovered that Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) is carrying out forced labour on the farm.

Although Dylan hasn’t met Bear in person before, he recognises him from photos which are dotted around Paddy Kirk’s (Dominic Brunt) and Mandy Dingles’ (Lisa Riley) house, where he has been staying.

Celia’s son, Ray Walters (Joe Absolom), has tricked Bear into believing that his family don’t care about him after he vanished in a sick manipulation plot to get him to stay on the farm and work as a slave.

He also claimed that he’d taken a look at Bear’s confiscated phone and his family hadn’t been in touch once. Ray’s news deterred Bear from wanting to make contact with his loved ones.

However, when Dylan approached Bear, he tried to explain the truth and confirmed, “Your family miss you”, before hurrying out of the barn.

Dylan kept quiet about his discovery, but when Celia followed him home, she soon discovered that Bear is Paddy’s father and panic set in. Celia had been under the impression that Bear’s name was Ted, as that is what he is called by Ray.

In a tense showdown with Ray, cruel Celia berates him for unwittingly bringing a local man into their operation.

“First rule of recruitment, no locals,” Celia shouted at her adopted son. “This could bring down our entire operation. Every time I give you an ounce of responsibility, it comes back to haunt me.”

She then explained that she knew Dylan was lying about knowing who Bear really was before issuing a chilling threat: “You will take care of Dylan, and then you will take care of Ted.”

Following Celia’s threat, Emmerdale viewers are now worried that both Dylan and Bear are about to be killed off.

Taking to Facebook, one person asked: “Anyone else think this might end with Dillon getting killed off…I hope he doesn’t.”

A second shared: “I think it’s a possibility that Bear and Dillon get killed before they can stop it.”

A third chimed in: “Oh no, I don’t want Dylan to get killed off”, while another added: “No way and no killing Bear, too nice.”

“That is the impression I got when Celia talked about ‘dealing’ with Bear and Dylan at the end of today’s episode. I’ve thought for months that Bear would be in trouble when they figured out who he is”, explained another.
