Emmerdale tonight: Aaron is pleased for Vinny

1. Vinny shares a moment with Aaron

Following his encounter with Gabby, Vinny has a chat with former brother-in-law Aaron in Emmerdale tonight.

Gabby and Vinny had started a romance earlier this year, but he had backed away given his lack of experience in the bedroom department. However on Thursday (August 15) he told Gabby he was finally ready to move things forward and they shared a kiss. Aw!

The next day, while enjoying a beer at the Woolpack, Aaron realises what’s going on between Vinny and Gabby. As a result, he gives the couple his blessing.

It’s a huge relief for Vinny, who feared what Aaron would make of him moving on from Liv. But Aaron refuses to dwell on the past and encourages Vinny to seize his chance of happiness.

Could this be the start of something special for Gabby and Vinny?

2. Charity is furious

Elsewhere in tonight’s Emmerdale, Charity is not happy when she discovers Sarah has been drinking while taking her medication. She and Mack find Sarah drunk in a car.

The teen has dealt with a number of health issues over the years after being diagnosed with Fanconi Anaemia in 2011. Following a heart transplant, Sarah knows she has a limited life expectancy, so why is she doing this to herself? Has she had enough of village life and looking for an outlet? Or has bad news pushed her over the edge?

Will Sarah be OK? And what will Charity do next?
