Emmerdale LIVE updates: Paddy tracks down Pierce and Joanie suggests LEAVING the village
EMMERDALE’s Paddy Kirk made efforts to track down Pierce Harris this evening as his love triangle with Rhona took an unexpected turn.
Emmerdale live: Paddy Kirk will take action for Pierce Harris
The latest instalment unfolded after Pierce (Jonathan Wrather) was seen fleeing the village yesterday.
After Rhona (Zoe Henry) left him a voicemail begging him to come back, this evening fans saw Paddy (Dominic Brunt) deciding to do the right thing for her and try to track him down.
Pierce had scarily smashed a mirror as he flew into a rage, but Paddy finally made him understand that he needs help for his anger issues.
Elsewhere, Adam (Adam Thomas) made amends with Victoria after telling her he does still want a child following their tiff last night, and Joanie ended up quitting her job after someone voted for her to be made redundant in Jai's slightly strange secret ballot. Is Belle guilty?

Can Adam win round Victoria?
Pierce is very fiery and he has a very big temper, but Rhona thinks she can manage it and that love will conquer all
19:01 - "I'm fine", says Rhona. Yeah, that's convincing...
19:02 - Rhona beating herself up over Pierce fleeing - why is she blaming herself?! He's a monster!
19:04 - Emma on James: "We'll never find out what happened to him!" - biggest eye-roll of all time.
19:05 - "If you've got time to slack then you've got time to pack." The sheer SASS from Priya there.
19:06 - Interesting tactic from Paddy as he tells Pierce that Rhona has been rushed to hospital! What's he playing at?
The factory workers are in for a fright
19:07 - "I don't see management struggling," says Kerry after Jai and Priya suggest zero-hours contracts and voluntary redundancy. Interesting point... Should they take the hit with the zero-hours contracts?
19:08 - Jai's idea to do a secret ballot to decide who goes is like something out of a reality show! Will Dermot O'Leary deliver the results?
19:11 - This from a viewer on Twitter is a GREAT suggestion - why doesn't Jai think of it?!:
Sack one of the extras in the background. They don't even speak, so why pay them? #Emmerdale

The zero hours contracts suggestion in Emmerdale did NOT go down well
19:14 - "You being so pally doesn't help," says Pierce. Yet remember after the crash when he nearly left Paddy to die...?
19:16 - "Sorry, carry on..." Paddy's impromptu laughter was a brilliant touch. Laugh-a-minute Pierce didn't seem to appreciate it.
19:18 - Will Pierce listen to Paddy and get help for his anger? What more is it going to take?
#Pieddy True bromance. #Emmerdale

19:19 - Jai is NOT seeing the funny side of everyone voting him out.
19:21 - ...But not everyone has voted him out! There's a vote for JOANIE, and she's off. And how! How many of us have dreamed of throwing in the towel with a resignation rant like THAT?
19:22 - Condemning Emma for faking a prescription seems daft after she's literally killed James and injured so many people, but all the same...
19:24 - So Adam really does want to be a dad! How's he going to juggle that from the jungle...
19:24 - Well look who's come crawling back... Pierce has returned to grovel to Rhona! Will he finally get help like he said he would?
19:25 - In other news, looks like one of the soap's most popular characters is in fans' bad books...
Why aren't the factory girls kicking the crap out of Kerry for being a lying bitch #emmerdale

Kerry should have gone #Emmerdale

Someone shut selfish kerry up. #Emmerdale

Oh come on #emmerdale Kerry should not be getting away with her behaviour. Why could the factory gang not have voted for her to leave.

19:26 - Now Joanie even wants to up sticks and move! Is she going to leave the village? Surely not...
19:28 - Those shots of Belle as Joanie wonders who voted her out are telling us all we need to know, aren't they?
And that's it for the night! What's to come next?
Adam Thomas still makes appearance in Emmerdale
Zoe Henry, who plays Rhona, recently said of the developments: “I think there's a certain element of her that quite likes that [Pierce] is very protective. It shows that he really cares and wants to be with her.
“I think Paddy can see it from a more objective point of view. Pierce is very fiery and he has a very big temper, but Rhona thinks she can manage it and that love will conquer all.”
