Emmerdale’s modern slavery storyline reaches one of its darkest points yet as Bear is forced into a horrific task that leaves him utterly broken.
With Anya now dead and Ray and Celia showing no shred of humanity, Bear faces a life-changing choice: stay loyal to the people who’ve manipulated him, or take his chance to escape.

Bear discovers Anya’s fate in Emmerdale – and finally snaps
After months of grooming, intimidation and forced labour under Celia and Ray, Bear has become one of their most loyal – and most exploited – captives. But the cracks are beginning to appear.
The already desperate situation deteriorated further when Anya, another enslaved worker and one of Bear’s only true friends, fell dangerously ill. A leg wound turned septic, but Ray refused to let her seek medical help. Despite Bear’s attempts to save her, Anya died in his arms.
When Mick and Simo quietly reveal that Ray has dumped Anya’s body in the feed shed like rubbish, Bear finally snaps. Consumed by rage, he pins Ray against the wall, furious at the disrespect. Ray eventually calms him down. But it’s clear something has shifted in Bear’s mind.
