Is Vinny dead? What happens next after a shocking attack is aired in early ITVX episode
Will Vinny survive Billy's beating?
Emmerdale spoilers are included in this article about Vinny. The episode hasn’t aired on TV yet, but it is already available to watch on ITVX and YouTube.
Today’s episode has left fans worried for Vinny after he collapses shortly after Billy beats him up.
Until recently, Vinny had been hiding the fact that he caused both Jimmy and Dawn’s deaths by using his phone while driving.
Usually, Vinny wouldn’t say boo to a goose, yet he kickstarted a catastrophic chain of events last month and now has two people’s deaths on his conscience.
However, hiding what he’d done became too much, and this week Vinny confessed to Nicola and Joe.
Both were understandably stunned, especially because he had kept it hidden for so long.
Vinny gets a beating in today’s Emmerdale
Today’s episode sees Joe fuming with Vinny, and after what Joe did to Ruby this week, things didn’t look good for the scrap dealer.
However, in a surprising twist, it is actually Billy who attacks Vinny after hearing that his carelessness led to Dawn’s death.
Luckily for Vinny, Graham walks in to find him lying on the floor with blood pouring from his nose, saving him from a further beating.
As he ushers Billy and Joe away, Graham tells Vinny that he must not tell anyone what happened before sending him home.
Meanwhile, news that Vinny is the other driver in the accident is spreading around the village. In the pub, Nicola confronts Gabby and lashes out at her for not telling everyone the truth before now.
Soon Mandy and Lewis also learn the horrific news. Their worlds fall apart as they realise that usually mild-mannered Vinny has blood on his hands.
Mandy can’t believe that her boy is responsible for the accident. However, the horrible realisation that Nicola is telling the truth hits when Vinny admits everything.
As Mandy tries to clean up Vinny’s bloody face, she’s heartbroken when he explains how the accident happened. However, trouble hits when she and Paddy leave, leading to Vinny trying to pour a glass of water for himself. But while he’s at the sink, he starts to feel faint and passes out.
But has he just collapsed? Or has Billy’s beating done more damage than just a bleeding nose?
Does Vinny die in Emmerdale?
No, Vinny is mentioned in spoilers for next week, revealing he survives today’s shocking attack.
As Laurel and Bob try their best to support Nicola, she reels from her anger towards Vinny from Monday.
Meanwhile, Vinny’s devastated when Lewis dumps him after everything that has happened. Knowing he is heading for jail, Vinny turns to Aaron for advice about life in prison.
Afterwards, Vinny breaks down as he returns Jimmy’s possessions to Nicola. But will Nicola show him any mercy?
Is this how Vinny leaves?
It was reported earlier this year that Vinny, played by Bradley Johnson, would be leaving Emmerdale.
Although it hasn’t been officially confirmed, reports also suggested Jimmy and Dawn would be killed off. And the fact that this has happened suggests the rumours are true.
But will Vinny leave in a body bag, or will he go to prison?
After Nicola also calls the police in today’s episode, it seems like Vinny’s either going to jail or headed for a more grisly ending. Billy might have done his worst, but there’s still a chance that Joe might finish the job Billy started.
