Emmerdale star Dominic Brunt has spoken out about Ray Walters’ shocking death in the ITV soap. Ray and his mother Celia Daniels

wreaked havoc in the village over recent months, dragging Bear Wolf into a harrowing modern-day slavery storyline in which he was subjected to forced labour and shocking living conditions.

 

 

Ray’s body was found earlier this month, and after weeks of speculation as to which character had been behind the villain’s murder, it was revealed that Bear had strangled Ray to death.

Now, Paddy and Dylan Penders are covering up Bear’s crimes, something made all the more difficult now that police are involved in his case after he was found dazed and confused wandering around the area.

Speaking to The Mirror, Brunt – who plays Paddy – shared his opinion on Ray’s death, saying: “You just simply cannot let people get away with that.”

“For us as actors and as a company, we really didn’t want him to go, or Jaye [Griffiths, who played Celia]. But at the same time, soaps are a moral compass, and you just cannot have somebody murdering somebody or human trafficking,” he continued.

“Ray was really good and really interesting, and a full 360 degrees three dimensional character with a backstory that wasn’t simple.”

Brunt added: “You were watching it going, you wouldn’t have done. You wouldn’t be in this position if it wasn’t for the fact that this had happened.”

Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle makes a shocking discovery when he pays a visit to his wife Moira in prison next week. He’s worried sick when it becomes clear that Moira is already facing a hellish time behind bars.

Next week’s episodes see Moira arrested and charged with the murders of Anya and Celia, after two bodies are found on her land. While viewers know that Moira is entirely innocent, the case against her looks strong because Celia was framing her for various crimes late last year.

Cain and the reeling Dingle clan concoct a plan to clear Moira’s name, but that’s going to be easier said than done.

Celia certainly knew what she was doing when she had Anya buried at Butler’s Farm in Moira’s blanket. The scheming villain gloated to Ray at the time that if the body was ever found, the real criminals could walk free.
