Controversial new Tina Dingle has fans fuming over ‘personality transplant’

Tina Dingle returned to Emmerdale last month for Zak Dingle’s funeral. But it quickly became clear she wasn’t just there to mourn her dearly departed dad, she was after all she could get.

And it soon turned out she and Mandy had a big secret, one that Mandy would do anything to keep hidden. So now Tina is blackmailing her.

But her return has not gone down well with fans of the soap, especially long-time viewers who remember the Tina Dingle of old. The one we see now is very far removed from that one.

Tina Dingle Mark Two arrives in Emmerdale

Tina’s arrival in the Dales causes controversy from the off. The character had been recast and was now played by Brassic star Samantha Power instead of original actress Jacqueline Pirie.

Fans were not impressed with one writing on social media: “Absolutely nothing like the original Tina Dingle it’s a insult to the original character who played her.” Another added: “Sorry, not a patch on the original Tina.”

Tina seemed to disappear after being carted off by police from Zak’s graveside. But she returned days later, tag-free, and demanding Mandy help her get her hands on Zak’s will – and her share of Wishing Well cottage. She also revealed she was Vinny’s real mum, a secret Mandy has been keeping from her son all of his life. Tina is now using that information to blackmail Mandy.

On Thursday (November 7), it turned out Mandy had complied with Tina’s demands and stolen Zak’s will. But Tina wants more. She wants Mandy to persuade Sam to sell up. If she does, Tina will take her share of the cash and leave their lives for good. But if she doesn’t, Vinny’s about to have a major bombshell dropped on him.

Who was the original Tina in Emmerdale?

Viewers are still not happy with the new Tina and have failed to warm to her. One of their big beefs is that she is nothing like the old Tina Dingle.

Tina mark one was a schemer, yes. She arrived to take revenge on her brother’s killer Luke. She seduced him into falling in love with her, then jilted him at the altar to avenge Ben’s demise.

She then tried to better herself. Tina got a job at Home Farm as Frank Tate’s assistant, wore power suits and tried to learn business. She was, as far as Dingles go, quite classy.

But not so this new version. Her personality and behaviour, not to mention her clothes, are a far cry from the old Tina. The Tina who arrived in the Dales to get justice for her brother’s death, that was a true Dingle through and through and would never blackmail them for money; that Tina.

Is this really Tina’s style? (Credit: ITV)

Fans have their say

Fans are definitely in agreement: “Very discounted Poundland, nothing like the original she had black hair, Tina Dingle,” said one on X.

“Massively impressed how Emmerdale have brought Tina Dingle back to spice things up and have chosen the least Tina Dingle looking/sounding actress they could find to play her!” joked a second.

Another added: “So we’re to believe this Tina has had a total 100% personalityectomy and a rough uncouth cheap one inserted?”

“The original Tina wasn’t like this at all, she wasn’t a cheap scally. This whole storyline and personality transplant can do one,” raged one more.

A fourth said: “Old Tina wanted to better herself, can’t take to this Rose wannabe,” with another saying: “Old Tina wouldn’t have been seen dead in an outfit like that.”

Meanwhile, a sixth commented: “I’m quite looking forward to when ‘not Tina’ leaves and we can all go back to remembering the real Tina. In her heyday. Bad mistake recasting such an iconic character, no matter how good an actor the replacement is.”

Do you agree? Would Tina have changed so dramatically in her time off-screen? Stranger things have happened in Emmerdale, we suppose…

Emmerdale spoilers: Vinny disowns Mandy after the truth about Tina is revealed

Emmerdale spoilers for next week reveal Vinny Dingle finally learns the truth of his parentage â€“ and he’s not happy.

Tina Dingle announces that she is Vinny’s mother, despite Mandy’s desperate plea for her to keep quiet.

But now, a tag-free Tina is back, and she’s causing trouble for Mandy.

Emmerdale: Vinny Dingle’s mum

Tina originally ordered Mandy to find Zak’s will and take it to her. She wanted to keep the money for herself, and Mandy managed to find the will despite her hesitance.

Previously, Tina greeted Vinny and questioned him about his love life. After he left, Mandy shouted at Tina that she’d told her to stay away.

Tina snapped: “You don’t get to tell me where I can and can’t go, especially now I’ve got interests round here.”

Mandy said that Tina isn’t included in Zak’s will and can’t have a share of the house, but Tina replied: “Prove it. It belongs to family. And I’m family. And who says we’re just talking about the house?”

This caused a nervous reaction from Mandy, as Tina continued: “I’ve come for everything that’s mine. Vinny is such a sweet boy. Do you know, it makes me sad, thinking about everything I’ve missed out on. What’s mine is mine. My house. My son.”

While Vinny knows Mandy is not his biological mum, he is unaware of his true parentage. Until now…

Tina returned to the village a couple of weeks ago during Zak Dingle’s funeral. Her stay was short, however, as she was hauled off by the police for breaching her release conditions.

But now, a tag-free Tina is back, and she’s causing trouble for Mandy.

Review of the week: Tina’s Vinny’s mum! Amelia’s a disappointment! And Nicola could save the day!

Our Emmerdale review this week is a mix of hope and disappointment.

Emmerdale is a real rollercoaster right now with moments of pure brilliance, whether that’s the emotions of the aftermath of Zak’s death, or the tension of Tom’s cruelty.

But there have been some other times this week where we’ve been left confused or just downright disappointed!

Here’s what we thought of it all in our Emmerdale review.

Tina is Vinny’s mum (Credit: ITV)

Tina is Vinny’s mum! Whaaaaat?!

The big news of this week is that Tina Dingle is Vinny’s mum. The reveal was delivered in such a throwaway fashion that despite being life-long Emmerdale fans who never miss an episode, we thought we’d missed this.

We totally understand why Mandy’s worried about Vinny finding out after keeping this secret for so long.

But what we don’t understand is why it was a secret in the first place?! Why wouldn’t Vinny know who his mum is? Has he never asked? Did he not sneak a look at his birth certificate at any point? Perhaps when he was getting married, or applying for a passport, or a driving licence… you see our point.

And there’s more to this story too – read on for the rest of our questions in our Emmerdale review!

Who’s Vinny’s dad?

When Tina left Emmerdale, it was due to Frank Tate’s relentless sexual harassment. That’s led to some fans speculating that Vinny could be Frank’s son. It’s unlikely, given that Tina was not into Frank, but we’re not hating this theory – mostly because it might finally put an end to Caleb’s big old tantrum about the dad he never met.

Belle’s mental health crisis

Sometimes when an actor’s been in a soap for yonks you start taking them for granted a bit. But there was a moment this week – when Belle was talking to her dead dad beside his grave – when we were flooded with admiration for Eden Taylor-Draper, who’s played Belle since 2005.

She is smashing it out of the park every episode and we think she’s great.

Have a word with yourself, Amelia (Credit: ITV)

Amelia is the worst in our Emmerdale review

Meanwhile, back in the village, Amelia continued her unquestioning support of Tom, despite all the evidence to the contrary. Her glee at Belle being admitted to the mental health ward was decidedly un-Christian and frankly, we’re disappointed in her.

Is Nicola about to realise what Tom’s really like? (Credit: ITV)

Putting two and two together

But elsewhere, Nicola’s Spidey-senses have FINALLY kicked in as she’s realised something’s up with son Carl. Will she be the one member of the King family to work out that Tom’s not the victim? Let’s hope so.

And then there’s Sam who made everything a lot worse when he launched himself at Tom, but who did remember that Tom stalked Chas back when he was a troubled teen.

Perhaps if any of the Dingles had remembered that sooner and raised some concerns, Belle wouldn’t be in this mess now, eh?! Just saying.

Billy can go where he wants but not poor Clemmie and Lucas (Credit: ITV)

Make it make sense in our Emmerdale review

So, Billy’s spending his days training with Mack and John, and his evenings in crowded venues fighting in unregulated boxing matches.

Visitors come and go at the family’s new home – whether it’s Will, Kim, or others.

But despite all that Clemmie and Lucas are still being home-schooled – half-heartedly because Dawn’s always focusing on the laundry basket rather than anyone’s lessons – due to Evan’s illness? It makes no sense to us. Send the poor kids back to school, for everyone’s sake!

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Belle struggled with her mental health as she was arrested following Tom’s latest sly move

In Emmerdale tonight (Wednesday, October 23), Belle was arrested after she angrily confronted Tom yesterday. Having hauled Belle to the station for breaking her bail conditions, DS Foy issued a stark warning – leave Tom alone, or else.

Meanwhile, Caleb tried to make amends to a still-frosty Ruby. And, with Tina hounding her over the phone, Mandy attempted to bury her head in the sand.

Here’s what else happened in Emmerdale tonight.

Belle was arrested in Emmerdale tonight

After the events of yesterday Belle, was in a foul mood. After relaying what had happened to Charity, her cousin told her what we’re all thinking: “Cut him off. Don’t give him the oxygen” (both literally and figuratively).

Unfortunately, the damage had already been done. A knock at the door heralded the arrival of DS Foy and his partner, who promptly arrested Belle for breaking her bail conditions by visiting Tom.

Down the station, Belle tried to put forth her side of the story. The detective was sympathetic, but was clear to Belle that she was in big trouble – warning her that she’d face prison if she sought Tom out again.

Back at home, she sought comfort at Zak’s graveside, chatting to her dad while wearing his outsized shirt. “I didn’t know how much I needed you dad,” she told him as they exchanged words, her face full of trauma and hurt.

Heartbreaking stuff – but are the voices in Belle’s head getting too real?

Caleb tried to win Ruby over (Credit: ITV)

Caleb tried to make amends

As Caleb begged Ruby to meet him for lunch in the Hide, he was consoled by Laurel, who gave him some food for thought.

Back home, he attempted to make up to Ruby with a bunch of flowers. “Have you been in touch with Steph?” he asked her, floating a name – their estranged daughter – which is sure to take on greater importance in the coming months.

Later, still eager to make amends, Caleb turned up with another gift. He revealed that he’d sorted her out with a trip to visit Nicky and Suni.Â A nice holiday – but can Caleb be trusted to be left to his own devices while she’s away?

Mandy tried to keep Tina quiet

Trying to smooth things over between his mum and his girlfriend, Vinny and Gabby hosted as Mandy paid a visit to Home Farm with Paddy. She wasted little time in snooping around Kim’s things – and whipped up some extra strong margheritas while she was there.

In the background, her phone rang ominously, with cousin Tina trying desperately to reach her with her latest demands. As the gang headed back into town, Tina spied from a bush opposite the Woolpack.

Hustling her into the salon before anyone could see, Mandy tried to pacify the angry Dingle. And, with Charity arriving to fill her in on Belle’s arrest, Mandy made her excuses and further hid Tina in a back room.

It’s clear, though, that Mandy can only keep Tina under wraps for so long…

Will can’t take a hint (Credit: ITV)

Elsewhere on Emmerdale tonight

Never one to realise when he’s not wanted, Will popped by the cafe, where Jimmy made clear that yesterday’s brutal unfriending still stood. Rejected, Will stomped off, but was that a sense of regret we spotted on Jimmy’s face?

Meanwhile, Billy continued to feel like a failure as the baby cried and Dawn complained about Lucas’s terrible second-hand laptop and a squeaky floorboard. Feeling frustrated and unable to provide for his family, Billy sloped off to take a mysterious phone call.

Elsewhere, a smug Tom delighted in Belle’s arrest. Things were awkward between him and Carl Jr as he and Jimmy left the house. He offered to take the youth out with his remote control car – but Carl couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

Will anyone realise exactly why Carl is so afraid of him?

Romance hopes for Vinny and Belle dashed as his real mum is revealed – and fans are furious

It’s official – Vinny is a Dingle by blood, as was revealed on Emmerdale last night (Monday, October 21). In the wake of Zak’s death and subsequent funeral, the Dingle family has been rocked by the sudden return of his daughter, Tina.

Tina’s cousin Mandy was particularly shocked to see Tina back – not least because she appears to be the birth mother of her son, Vinny. Mandy raised Vinny as her own after his dad, Paul, walked out on them both while Vinny was a baby.

While Vinny wasn’t a Dingle by blood, he was considered an honorary one by the whole family. But, with Tina’s bombshell news, it appears that Vinny might be a born-and-bred Dingle after all!

Mandy isn’t the only one struggling with the news either. Viewers have found themselves upset as Vinny being a Dingle puts paid to fans’ long-held hope that he and Belle might one day be a thing.

Emmerdale fans bereft as Belle is revealed to be Vinny Dingle’s aunt

Reacting on the social media site X, fans shared their disappointment at the pair being close relatives.

“Tina being Vinnyâ€™s mum has messed up my Belle x Vinny hopes. Belle is now his auntie,” said one disappointed fan.

“So Vinny is Belleâ€™s nephew then? Good job they never got together like it was looking at one time,” another remarked.

“Had hoped Vinny and Belle would become a couple one day but that’s definitely not happening now!” said a third.

“If Tina ends up somehow being Vinny’s mum, and it destroys any hopes of there being a Vinny & Belle endgame, I’ll never forgive you,” wrote another.

Well that puts an end to that (Credit: ITV)

Belle and Vinny – a history

Fans have long enjoyed the chemistry between Vinny and Belle. The pair became close friends since he arrived in the village, with the pair enjoying dog walking trips together.

They also supported each other in their darker times – Vinny in grieving wife Liv, and Belle during her abusive marriage to Tom King.

Reconciling after the extent of Tom’s nastiness was revealed, Vinny remains as loyal to Belle as ever.

How will he react when he learns that she might be his aunt?

So, Tina Dingle is Vinny’s mum in Emmerdale – full timeline of Vinny’s parental history explained as fans speculate Frank Tate is his dad

Last night’s episode of Emmerdale dropped the bombshell news that Tina Dingle is Vinny’s estranged mother. The youngster arrived on the soap in 2019, rocking up with maternal figure Mandy as she returned to the village.

It was soon revealed that Mandy wasn’t Vinny’s biological mother, with Mandy taking him in at only nine months old. Moving in with his dad, Paul Ashdale, the pair were left alone when he walked out on them.

But where does Tina Dingle fit into all of this – and does that make Vinny a Dingle by blood after all?

What happened between Mandy, Vinny and Paul on Emmerdale?

With Vinny still a child, Mandy continued to raise him as her own. Arriving in Emmerdale in 2019, Vinny was welcomed into the family and has been in the Dingles’ midst ever since.

In 2020, estranged father Paul arrived in the village, looking for his son. In spite of Mandy’s reticence, the family soon reconciled, with Paul and Mandy getting back together as father and son bonded.

However, things took a turn for the worse when gambling addict Paul began abusing his son, both emotionally and physically. Paul died on the day he and Mandy were supposed to marry, going up in flames in a barn explosion in 2021.

Old family ties have begun to resurface in the wake of Zak Dingle’s death – and the return of Mandy’s cousin, Tina. Tina, it was revealed, is Vinny’s mother.

But where does that leave Paul and Mandy?

Tina Dingle is Vinny’s mother, Emmerdale reveals

In last night’s episode (Monday, October 21), the truth came out as Tina confronted a tearful Mandy.

“I’ve come for everything that is mine. Vinny is such a sweet boy, it makes me sad thinking about everything I have missed out on,” an aggressive Tina told her horrified cousin.

This bombshell news would make it appear that Tina and Paul were originally together prior to Vinny’s birth – suggesting an affair or sudden recoupling between Mandy and Paul.

However, some fans have another theory.

Frank Tate is Vinny’s dad, fan theory suggests

Writing on X as the latest episodes aired, some fans wondered whether there could be another twist in store. And some suspected that Frank Tate could be Vinny’s dad.

“Is Frank Tate Vinny’s father ????” asked one fan. Another added: “Could Frank Tate be Vinny’s real father?”

During her original stint on Emmerdale, Tina did grow close to Frank Tate – who even proposed to her while on a business trip together. He continued to pressure her to accept his proposal until her exit from the village in 1996.

Wait, 1996?

“And before anyone suggests it…Vinny was born in 2001. NOT another of Frank Tate’s children,” said another fan, seemingly putting that particular theory to rest.

However, with Emmerdale already having retconned Vinny’s past this much, would a bit of a fudge with the years be all that beyond them?!
