MIND‑BLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT: Emmerdale Insiders Guarantee Big Shock For Vinny In Upcoming Episodes

Emmerdale stars Lisa Riley and Bradley Johnson have revealed that Vinny Dingle will get a big storyline in the coming weeks.

The popular pair teased the news exclusively while chatting to us on the red carpet at the British Soap Awards recently.

Asked about future plots, Lisa – who plays Mandy – named Bear Wolf and Vinny as characters that viewers should be keeping an eye on. Both have separate storylines coming up, with plenty of drama on the way.

Lisa told us: “A lot’s going to be happening with Bear Wolf. We don’t know [what’s going on with him]. The audience will probably know, but Mandy, Paddy and Vinny don’t know at all.

“It’s whether Bear’s going to be in danger or not. Danger could be on the cards for him. But us as the characters don’t know.

“And Vinny’s got some really good stuff coming up…!”

Bradley, who plays Vinny, added: “It’s very exciting for Vinny. He’s questioning a lot of things in his life right now, but that’s all I can say…”

Earlier this year, Vinny confided in his mum Mandy about how he was doubting his ability to be a good father.

Vinny’s responsibilities to Gabby Thomas’s young son Thomas have increased in recent months, as their relationship has grown more serious. However, this reminded Vinny of his past trauma with his own father.

Meanwhile, tonight’s episode sees Vinny left mortified by the realisation that he’s forgotten the anniversary of his first kiss with Gabby.

Vinny teams up with Kammy Hadiq to arrange a romantic surprise for Gabby, with the pressure on to impress her at such short notice. Can Vinny manage it, or is this already a bad sign for his future with Gabby?

The British Soap Awards took place on 31 May at London’s Hackney Empire.

You can still catch up on the ceremony now via ITVX.
