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

    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! 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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

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

    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 Vinny’s mum has messed up my Belle x Vinny hopes. Belle is now his auntie,” said one disappointed fan.

    “So Vinny is Belle’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.

    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

    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?!

  • 4 Emmerdale romances that NEED to happen

    4 Emmerdale romances that NEED to happen

    It’s fair to say that the Dales have seen their fair share of couples get together and split up over the years…

    Some couples have stood the test of time whilst others have fallen at the first hurdle.

    Here’s four pairings we’d love to see get together in Emmerdale village!

    Emmerdale's Belle and Vinny are talking outside

    Emmerdale romances: 1. Belle and Vinny

    Belle and Vinny have always been close. They’ve been there for each other (as friends) through thick and thin.

    Vinny’s currently supporting Belle as she struggles to come to terms with Tom’s abuse of her. Despite Tom causing trouble for their friendship in the past, this pair will always return to each other’s side in the end.

    Let’s be honest, Vinny and Gabby really don’t make for a perfect match. Gabby isn’t known for her compassion after all…

    But, Vinny and Belle? They already have a great bond going. So, here’s to hoping they develop a romantic connection in the near future. Maybe, let’s just give Belle some time to breathe before jumping into another relationship though.

    Emmerdale's Manpreet is talking to Liam

    2. Manpreet and Liam

    Liam’s had flings and relationships with a fair few women in the village, but he’s yet to cross that boundary with colleague and friend, Manpreet.

    Manpreet and Liam actually have a lot in common (with serial killer Meena unfortunately being a topic they both know all too well.)

    Perhaps Liam might find it a little icky to start dating the sister of his daughter’s killer. But, if he just puts that factor (okay, very big factor) aside for a moment, he could well find that his good friendship with Manpreet could turn into something more! And, we’d totally ship them!

    Emmerdale's Mack and Aaron are laughing together outside

    Emmerdale romances: 3. Mack and Aaron

    Aaron’s currently having a fling with John Sugden (yes, the half-brother of Robert Sugden – awks!)

    But, it’s no secret that Mack’s been feeling jealous over John getting in the way of his bromance with Aaron.

    Mack’s childish feud with John could all be explained though… you know, as jealousy? Perhaps, Mack only has a vendetta against John because he wants Aaron all to himself.

    If Mack was to suddenly confess his secret feelings for Aaron, we’d be all for it!

    Emmerdale's Vanessa and Charity are kissing

    4. Charity and Vanessa

    As we’re shipping Mack and Aaron together, that means that Mack will have to ditch Charity…

    So, shall we just all rewind back to the 2019 era when we were all at peak Vanity era? Life was rather sweet back then before Charity and Vanessa split in 2020 (we’re still not over it, can you tell?)

    Vanessa and Charity had way more chemistry than Mack and Charity. Vanessa actually cared about Charity whereas Mack only really proves to prioritise himself over his marriage time and time again. We certainly wouldn’t be opposed to a Vanity reunion!

  • Gabby wants to keep it ‘fun,’ Vinny is growing attached: All the reasons Emmerdale’s latest couple will never work

    Gabby wants to keep it ‘fun,’ Vinny is growing attached: All the reasons Emmerdale’s latest couple will never work

    Emmerdale’s Gabby and Vinny are the soap’s newest couple, with the pair having finally confessed their feelings for one another. Gabby and Vinny have been back and forth a lot, as nothing is ever straightforward in the Dales.

    While they appear to be love’s young dream, it looks unlikely that Gabby and Vinny’s relationship could stand the test of time. But, you never know – it is Emmerdale, after all.

    Here, we take a look at the reasons why we think Gabby and Vinny’s romance won’t work in Emmerdale.

    Gabby and Vinny’s differences

    It’s no secret that Gabby and Vinny are very different characters. Gabby is no stranger to drama and trouble, while Vinny is much more reserved – despite being a Dingle. Gabby even admitted she just wanted to have ‘fun’ with Vinny, while he was noticeably developing feelings.

    Actress Rosie Bentham, who plays Gabby, has even expressed her surprise over Gabby and Vinny being romantically matched together.

    “It’s a bit of a chalk and cheese situation, isn’t it? When the story got pitched to me, I was like: ‘Oh, how is that going to happen?’ But as the story goes on, the writing has been quite funny and light-hearted,” she admitted to Digital Spy.

    But, they do say opposites attract.

    Relationships

    Historically, Gabby has always gone for bad boys. Remember her toxic affair with Jamie Tate – who she shares son Thomas with – and engagement to lying rogue Nicky Miligan? However, maybe a good guy is exactly what Gabby needs!

    Vinny’s only former partner is his late wife, Liv Flaherty. She died in 2022 when a catastrophic storm hit the village, leaving him devastated. Liv was also asexual, therefore she and Vinny never had sex, meaning he was still a virgin when he got to know Gabby.

    Losing his virginity was a big deal to Vinny, especially with Gabby being far more experienced than him. But, they got over any hurdles and managed to seal the deal – much to Vinny’s excitement.

    Liv and Gabby’s friendship

    Gabby was close friends with Vinny’s wife Liv, who sadly died in 2022. The pair formed a close bond and even lived together at one point.

    It may seem odd that Gabby’s now started a relationship with her friend’s widower, given how close she and Liv were. Or, odd for Vinny to get together with one of his late wife’s close friends.

    However, the couple appear to have accepted this. Liv’s brother Aaron gave Vinny his blessing when he heard about his new romance. Also, Vinny has insisted he feels Liv would be happy for him and Gabby. But, is this situation all just a little to uncomfortable?

    Is Belle better suited to Vinny? (Credit: ITV)

    Vinny and Belle?

    With Vinny and Gabby being very opposite, it’s likely they could find a better match in the village. For a while, it seemed like Vinny may get together with Belle Dingle, with the pair growing close.

    He’s been a huge support to Belle, who has been at the centre of a domestic abuse storyline with her husband Tom King. Emmerdale fans have even predicted that Vinny will be the one to find out Belle is being abused.

    Is love on the cards for Vinny and Belle? We reckon they could be a better suited couple!

    Emmerdale fans have their say

    Fans of Emmerdale have been keen to share their opinions on the soap’s latest couple. Unsurprisingly, many fans aren’t convinced that things will work out between Vinny and Gabby.

    “Sorry but I can’t see Gabby and Vinny together,” one Emmerdale viewer wrote on X. Another said: “Gabby is just using Vinny. How long before he realises?”

    A third fan said: “Vinny and Gabby? That would never happen in real life,” while a final viewer said: “Gabby & Vinny just aren’t a good match.”

    Emmerdale spoilers tonight: Laurel is looking to the future

    1. Laurel wants to move forward

    Laurel is trying to find her feet again in the aftermath of her messy split from Jai. She decided to call time on their marriage after discovering Jai’s appalling treatment towards Amit and Suni.

    But since Laurel mentioned the word divorce, Jai has been doing all he can to make her suffer. He took Archie away and has been verbally abusing Laurel in front of customers at The Hide.

    Laurel’s had enough and needs to find a way to get Jai off her case.

    2. Laurel has a proposition for Gabby

    Laurel comes to stepdaughter Gabby with a proposition. Jai wants to sell his shares in The Hide, and she wants to buy them.

    Gabby, who’s in no way a fan of Jai, reckons it’s a brilliant idea. She urges Laurel to go for it and take back control from her snaky spouse.

    Laurel knows Jai just won’t calmly agree to the transaction, so her only option is to go behind his back. Playing Jai at his own game. We like!

    3. Charity pulls Sarah into her world of crime

    Sarah’s recent reckless behaviour has left Charity reeling. Last week, she discovered her granddaughter had been drinking while taking her medication.

    Sarah has a limited life expectancy after undergoing a heart transplant, and Charity was furious she’d put herself in such danger.

    However, it seems Sarah is determined to carry on down a rebellious path. So Charity decides it’s time to teach her a thing or two.

    Now it seems she wants to bring Sarah into her world. Hurrying the young lass out of the house, Charity promises her an experience she’ll never forget.

    Sarah is shocked, then excited, to find Charity has stolen a car and wants them to go joyriding. But is everything as it seems? Is this all part of Charity’s bigger plan to reign Sarah in?

  • Emmerdale tonight: Tom became soap’s worst ever villain when he ran Piper over and Gabby confused us all

    Emmerdale tonight: Tom became soap’s worst ever villain when he ran Piper over and Gabby confused us all

    Emmerdale tonight could possibly have aired the worst scenes in its history. Tom took his anger out on Piper the dog in a way that has gone beyond anything he’s ever done before. We are shook.

    Meanwhile, Gabby gave out confusing signals, but we think she likes Vinny, and Aaron’s pleased for them, so that’s all good.

    There was plenty to talk about in Friday August 16 episode of Emmerdale.

    Peeping Tom the monster

    Let’s talk about Tom first shall we? Actually let’s organise a mob to go and get him and make him suffer.

    Just when we thought he couldn’t get any worse than secretly putting cameras in Belle’s house to spy on her getting changed and sleeping, he proved us wrong. He went further than he’s ever been before and he actually hurt Piper.

    Belle decided to brave it out and go to Sam’s birthday drinks in the Woolpack. But lo and behold, Tom was there waiting. He tried to play the nice guy, but soon when she rejected him – and his car – again he grabbed her tightly by the wrist and became menacing. Of course, only very quietly so no one could hear him.

    But then Belle flipped and shouted at him to leave her alone and get out. Tom stood up and made a big show of giving in to her demands leaving the punters in no doubt about who was in the wrong here.

    It soon became clear why Tom had been so adamant about Belle taking the car – he’d put a GPS tracker in it. Of course he had.

    But as he was driving it off to sell it on, he came across Piper in the road. He didn’t stop and rescue her, no, no, he put his foot down and drove straight at her. He ran Piper over.

    HE RAN PIPER OVER. We cannot. We actually cannot deal with him. WHAT. A. MONSTER.

    Later he was seen with the dog wrapped in a blanket running to the vets. Belle hurried after him as he promised to do all he could to save Piper’s life.

    If that dog does not make it, we swear we will not be responsible for our actions.

    What does Gabby want?

    Gabby was honoured Vinny’s first time was with her, but she just wants to keep it ‘fun’. Vinny seemed unclear what ‘fun’ was – and honestly, she confused us too. Not casual, apparently. So what?

    Well certainly not doing things as a couple, because she was very reluctant to attend Sam’s birthday drinks with him. But was more than happy to have round two later on.

    Meanwhile, Aaron told Vinny he was happy for him and glad he was moving on and it was all really lovely. As long as Gabby makes her mind up about what she wants, we see no trouble brewing here…

    Charity is furious to find Sarah drunk in the back of a car and shouts at Mack in Emmerdale

    Sarah was fed-up in Emmerdale tonight

    Charity was furious to find Sarah hungover having slept in a car at the garage. She went mad telling Sarah she knows the risk of boozing. But Sarah is feeling fed-up. And we can’t blame her really – what does she have going on? An apprenticeship at the garage, no real friends and no romantic prospects, it’s not exactly scintillating for an 19-year old, is it?

    So Charity promised her a day filled with excitement – and she didn’t mean Sam’s birthday party.

    Mandy and Paddy were making their presence felt in Emmerdale tonight

    Liam did not get much sleep after Mandy and Paddy’s bedroom Olympics. They ended up back at Liam’s place after Nicola chucked them out of the B&B for being too loud and disturbing the other guests. How classy.

    Meanwhile, Liam’s space was well and truly invaded when Mandy announced she was moving in and giving the place a leopard print makeover. And she’s only going to charge him mates’ rates for her interior design skills. Lucky, lucky Liam.

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Nate tried to make friends with John, who made it clear as well as family, he also doesn’t need friends. Honestly, we’d have stopped bothering ages ago. But Victoria and Nate are both still pushing and finally got him to accept a drink in the pub later on. Small victories and all that.

    Soon he even challenged Mack to a game of darts, which got fraught when Mack bet £100 he’d win. He lost.

    Elsewhere, Amelia is fast becoming one of the most unlikeable people in the village. After laying into Noah last week and sticking by Samson, who’s done nothing for her ever apart from reject her and be mean, she laid into Belle tonight.

    Without knowing anything at all about the situation, she stuck her nose in where it really wasn’t wanted and gave Belle what for for standing up to Tom. Apparently Belle was too harsh and Tom’s a good guy.

    What it’s got to do with her, we really don’t know. But once again, Amelia’s behaviour has left us baffled. Has she ever spoken to Tom? Does she know anything about him? Is she developing a crush – is that where this is going? Maybe if sees what he’s really like, she’ll have the judgemental frown wiped off her face.
