Fans of Vanessa and Charity (‘Vanity’ for short) are hoping that they have spotted a ‘sign’ in a social media post from Emmerdale star Rosie Bentham. This came as the actor, who plays Gabby Thomas on the soap, went behind the scenes to give viewers a glimpse of the wardrobe department.
And, as she did, fans felt that her pairing of a certain top with a certain skirt could be a hint at things to come… or are we all just clutching at straws?

Emmerdale fans call for ‘Vanity’ reunion amid social media ‘clues’
In the video, which was shared to the soap’s Instagram account, Rosie paired one of Charity’s tops with a skirt from Vanessa‘s collection.
Vanessa left the village, seemingly putting paid to the relationship once and for all. She recently returned, but there have been no signs of a reconciliation between the former lovers so far. We can but hope.

Friday’s episode of Classic Emmerdale sees Alice come to terms with her decision to stop the treatment for her cancer. In some of the most devastating scenes ever aired on Emmerdale, a heartbroken Alice tries to record a video for baby Samson to help him remember her – but she can’t stop crying.
And neither could we. As these scenes air again, here are a look back at some more of the most tear-jerking Emmerdale moments ever. Tissues at the ready!

Faith dies in Cain’s arms
Dingle matriarch Faith passed away in her son’s arms after being diagnosed with terminal breast cancer in 2022. The pair shared a tumultuous relationship over the years, but reconciled enough to break Cain’s heart when she died – having taken a fatal overdose so as to go out in her own terms.

Goodbye Zak and Lisa
In scenes which aired last month, there was more heartbreak in store for the Dingles as they learned that Zak had died. As the family came together for a poignant funeral for the mighty Dingle, viewers were reminded of an earlier sad death – Lisa, who passed away at home, on the day of her wedding to Zak in 2019.
Zak returned home to find Lisa unresponsive on the sofa – his heart breaking as he realised that Lisa had died. A sad end for one of the soap’s most iconic couples.

Eric’s Parkinson’s diagnosis
Soap legend Eric Pollard hasn’t always been one of Emmerdale’s most sympathetic figures – playing the part of conniving businessman, scheming husband and out-and-out villain. He’s mellowed a lot in recent years – especially since the death of wife Val – and has recently shown a new vulnerability since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
Scenes this week have seen Pollard attempt to come to terms with his condition, struggling as it derailed his feud with Caleb. In unexpectedly sweet scenes, Caleb came to Pollard’s aid on Wednesday, giving him an unlikely frenemy to confide in. While the Pollard of old is never far from the surface, his struggle with his own vulnerability and mortality has been quietly devastating. Still wouldn’t trust him as far as we can throw him though.

Holly’s drug overdose
Holly Barton died in 2016, following a fatal heroin overdose. This followed a lengthy struggle with addiction. During this time, she had gotten clean, and then relapsed again. Returning home after making a new life for herself in London, Holly’s addiction came back harder than ever.
Once again, viewers were led to believe she was clean so when she died, it came as a shock not just to mum Moira, but to fans too. After all, actress Sophie Powles’ exit hadn’t even been advertised prior to the episode’s transmission. We’re still reeling from the shock.

Jackson’s assisted suicide
Becoming a quadriplegic after a train accident, Jackson struggled to adjust to his new living situation. And, while Aaron and mum Hazel did their best to change his mind, he quickly became set on ending his life.
As Jackson’s story ended, he took his own life via overdose, with Aaron handing him a fatally-dosed cup after mum Hazel was unable to do so. Aaron hasn’t been the same since. Us neither.

Paddy’s depression
Following wife Chas’s affair with sleazy Al Chapman, Paddy hit rock bottom. After months of struggling, he decided to end his own life – taking a rifle and heading out into the wilderness where he planned on ending it all. Thankfully, Paddy’s friends and family managed to catch up with him in time, and were able to get Paddy the help he needed.
The soap’s depiction of men’s mental health issues was one of its most effective storylines. All beautifully acted by star Dominic Brunt.

Ashley’s dementia
Beloved village vicar Ashley Thomas discovered that he had stroke-related vascular dementia in 2015. A special episode of the soap followed Ashley’s perspective as he left the hospital and attempted to make his way home – wandering the streets in a confused state.
Alzheimer’s charities praised the episode, saying at the time: “I understand there has to be a certain element of dramatic licence, but Emmerdale have been so flexible about getting things like the language right, and last night I think they smashed it.”

Belle’s mental health struggles
Young Belle Dingle hasn’t had an easy time of it. Diagnosed with schizophrenia at a young age, she managed to get her condition under control – only to fall for a controlling monster years later. This year’s Emmerdale has followed the fallout of Belle and Tom’s marriage, with Belle questioning her own sanity as Tom attempted to control every aspect of her life.
Things came to a head following dad Zak’s death, as Belle struggled to keep on an even keel. As Belle attempted to comprehend the extent of Tom’s abuse, her mental health suffered again. Scenes in which Belle wept at her dad’s grave, begging to be with him again, had viewers praising star Eden Taylor-Draper’s mighty performance.

In Emmerdale spoilers tonight, vengeful Tom puts Paddy in a sticky situation when he threatens to air the vets’ dirty laundry in public. Tom is desperate to get his job back after being given his marching orders by Rhona and Vanessa.
But will he be successful in leveraging Paddy to get his way?
Tom losing his job came as Belle let the villagers know all about Tom’s campaign of abuse against her – both physical and mental. Recalling their awkward dinner party in which Belle seemed to be upset and not acting herself, Rhona believed her version of events in full.

What’s happened on Emmerdale so far: Tom loses his job amid abuse allegations
Rhona and Vanessa then told Tom that they would be firing him from his position at the surgery once the police investigation is through. Never one to take things lying down, Tom has threatened to sue for unfair dismissal. However, nothing – not even a dodgy lawyer faking assault and smashing up his car – has managed to change her mind.
And, with Paddy also believing Belle and the Dingles’ version of events, Tom decides to take a different tack in trying to get his job back. Approaching Paddy, he threatens to spill all the surgery’s dirty secrets if Paddy doesn’t comply.

Fans of Emmerdale have been left in fear for the life of Eric Pollard after his health appeared to be in sharp decline. This came during last night’s episode (Monday, November 11), as Pollard clashed with Caleb over lorries running riot through the village.
Taking umbrage at Caleb’s dismissive tone, Pollard took actions into his own hands. He jumped into one of the lorries and subsequently backed it into a pile of crates. Pollard put on a brave face, but he knew it had been a result of his Parkinson’s symptoms.
Caleb then popped around to see him later, threatening to call the police if he didn’t stop kicking up a fuss over his lorries.

Emmerdale fans worry over Pollard amid Parkinson’s flare-up
Fans took to social media as these scenes aired to share their concerns about Pollard. And some took his visible Parkinson’s symptoms as a bad omen.
“Don’t like Eric getting bad when it’s nearly Christmas. Don’t want a Christmas death,” fretted one fan.
“Eric is gonna die next year,” said another.
“Eric struggling with his Parkinson’s,” pointed out a third.
Have fans been given cause for worry?
Emmerdale death teased this Christmas
The fears for Pollard come as Metro.co.uk reports a death is imminent in the Dales. They shared pictures from a fan who did the Emmerdale tour and a freshly dug grave could be seen.
The fan reportedly wrote alongside the snaps: “Did the Emmerdale tour on Saturday and we got to meet the gorgeous Billy (Jay Kontzle). We flew in from Dublin first flight in last flight out it was great. Also, there was a fresh GRAVE!!! See pics.
“I told Billy it better not be his grave and he said no but I am in that storyline! – any guesses?????”
So far rumours suggest it could be Leyla who dies when Roxy Shahidi leaves the soap after 16 years. But could it be Eric? Or even Brenda?

Pollard’s health worsens as Brenda exits the dales
A source told The Mirror: “The show has grown a lot bigger in recent years but soaps are expensive to make. It’s inevitable saving money means losing people – but it’s a huge shame all the same for those involved, their friends and colleagues.”
How exactly Brenda will leave remains to be seen, but it may well play into Eric’s ongoing Parkinson’s story.

Fans of Emmerdale have wondered whether the soap writers have a vendetta against poor Vinny. This follows last night’s episode of the soap (Monday, November 11), in which he finally learned the truth about Tina’s identity – namely, that she is his own estranged mother.
As Vinny learned how she had betrayed the Dingles, he disowned his mum (Mandy, that is), telling her that she was no-one to him, and stormed off.
This leaves Vinny adrift from the woman who raised him, and with the so-far repellent Tina Dingle continuing to send his life spinning into chaos. All of which begs the question… do the writers hate Vinny Dingle?

‘Poor Vinny’ say Emmerdale viewers as he learns the truth
As the episode aired, viewers shared their thoughts on Vinny‘s bombshell. And many found themselves sympathising with the youngster amid this latest development.
“I love Vinny!! Why can’t the writers let him have a happy storyline for once,” said one angry fan on the social media site X.
“The writers must hate Vinny. Abusive dad. A mum who sold him. Kill his wife. And the only girl he can now get is a very desperate Gobby Gabby,” said another.
“They’ll never give Vinny even a moderately happy storyline. Because the writers are [censored],” wrote a third.
“Why can’t Vinny have a good storyline for a good while?” asked one fan.
“Tina is disgusting poor Vinny,” another viewer said.

The sad life of Vinny Dingle
This is just the latest unhappy development in the miserable life of Vinny – spurned by his own mother (who blamed post natal depression) and who found himself on the receiving end of his absentee father’s abuse when he did return into his life, years later.
And then there’s the whole dead wife thing – crushed to death by a caravan in 2022.

Fans of Emmerdale have theorised that Amelia will be the one to bring Tom’s reign of terror to an end – by killing him. Tom and Amelia’s relationship remains strong, in spite of her witnessing his dark side for the first time last week.
This came amid an explosive bonfire night for the pair, in which Tom snapped after supposedly being victimised by the Dingles yet again. Realising that they had made a version of him to burn on the village fire, Tom exploded – blaming Amelia for dragging him there in the first place.
Amelia was left shocked by what she saw in Tom, and immediately began having second thoughts about her man. However, these doubts were short-lived – as a visit from uncle Jimmy soon brought her back around. And, as Tom made his excuses, it seemed as though Amelia was firmly back where he wants her.
But for how long?

Emmerdale fans predict that Amelia will kill Tom
Fans of the soap have predicted that the worm will eventually turn, and Amelia will kill Tom. Theorising how the story might end, fans took to a Reddit thread to share their theories. And one viewer wondered whether Amelia might be the one who kills Tom – in defence of herself or Belle.
“Tom will either attack either Belle and Amelia. Amelia will strike back and kill Tom. Afterwards, Amelia will be convicted and sent to prison. Two people gone in one incident. It ends Tom and Belle’s story, and gets rid of Amelia while technically leaving the door open.”
“Also leaving Esther for Sam and Lydia to raise,” pointed out another fan in the comments below.
However, others aren’t convinced that this would be the best end to Tom’s story – which many feel has already been reduced to a farce.
“That wouldn’t be a good message to end this story on. Too much of it has already been sensationalised,” pointed out one fan.
“I do not even care how they end this exhausting (and exhausted) storyline at this point, as long as the show does finally end it,” said another.
