As Mike attacks Vinny, five 'hints' that Gabby and Vinny won't get wed
Things got dark in Emmerdale
Emmerdale aired some of its darkest scenes in recent times as Vinny was brutally attacked and robbed by Mike.
Vinny Dingle has been struggling with his sexuality lately after he became confused over his feelings for close friend Kammy.
Trying to make sense of everything, Vinny reached out to an online support group. From there, he connected with Mike, who Vinny believed was going through the same thing as him.
However, tonight’s scenes showed that not to be the case as Mike attacked Vinny before stealing from him. With things falling apart for Vinny, here’s 5 hints that his wedding to Gabby Thomas won’t go ahead as planned.
Vinny and Gabby family picture destroyed in Emmerdale
As Mike revealed that he’d fabricated his story in order to draw Vinny in, he took great pleasure in spilling a drink over some family artwork.
The picture, titled ‘our little family’ depicted Vinny, Gabby, Gabby’s son Thomas and Vinny’s dog Chip. Mike looked happy as he destroyed the picture and mocked Vinny and his ‘happy little family.’
This is obviously not a good omen going forward and symbolises Vinny’s future with Gabby being erased.
Mike’s blackmail threats
Mike revealed that his name wasn’t really Mike – but stopped short of sharing his real identity. He also said he only told Vinny what he knew Vinny wanted to hear and laughed at him for following the trail of poison he’d laid down.
As Mike shared that this wasn’t his first rodeo, he demanded Vinny give him access to his banking app. He played back a recording of Vinny revealing that he had initiated things with Kammy and had thought about what would happen had Kammy kissed him back.
Vinny allowed Mike to transfer £10,000 to himself. But Mike could decide to play the recording to Gabby anyway, which would certainly put a stop to the wedding.
Gabby’s relationship history
While Gabby is in full wedding planning mode, her relationship history hints that she won’t get her happy ever after.
She had a baby with Jamie Tate, who disappeared, never to be seen again. She then became engaged to Nicky Miligan, but it was all just a ploy so Nicky’s dad Caleb could get his hands on the Tate fortune.
Nicky developed a guilty conscience and revealed to Gabby, on what should have been their wedding day, that he was in fact gay. With Vinny’s confusion over his sexuality and his and Gabby’s wedding day fast approaching, there is a chance that history could repeat itself.
Vinny and Gabby wedding rings stolen in Emmerdale
It’s never a good omen when the wedding rings go missing – or in this case stolen – and could be a sign that the wedding shouldn’t be going ahead.
Mike was curious to know: “What’s the going rate for rinsing a sap like you?” Not happy with rinsing Vinny’s bank account, he decided he was owed the rings too.
Mike claimed he was doing Vinny a favour before telling him that Gabby deserved better. With Vinny believing that to be the case too, will he call off the wedding?
Vinny’s confidence suffers a beating
After Mike had delivered his beating and left the house, Vinny changed his clothes and took a look in the mirror.
He broke down as a flashback of Vinny and his abusive dad Paul Ashdale was shown. In the clip, Paul told his son: “When I was a kid and I did summat wrong, my dad would let me know I’d done something wrong, yeah? And I learned my lesson pretty quickly. You’re a slow learner Vinny but this is a lesson you’ll never forget.”
Paul then beat Vinny, with the present day Vinny breaking down in tears. With these unresolved issues, will Vinny be fully able to commit to someone else?
