And aside from John waking up and planning to kill Aaron, quite a lot happened.\n<p>Robert found himself charged with attempted murder, leaving him absolutely devastated.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Vinny finally opened up to Kammy. And postponed then didn't postpone his wedding to Gabby!<\/p>\n<p>Here's a rundown of what happened on Emmerdale tonight.<\/p>\n<h2>Robert was charged in Emmerdale tonight<\/h2>\n<p>Following all the evidence stacked against him, and how everyone somehow believes he would do something like that, Robert was charged with double attempted murder.<\/p>\n<p>When on the phone to Vic, she told him Aaron and John were alone together, and Robert immediately panicked as he knows Aaron isn't safe. But when will someone believe him?<\/p>\n<h2>Everyone doted on John<\/h2>\n<p>Literally everyone went to see John to make sure he was okay. Paddy even apologised for being the reason Robert headed to the cottage.<\/p>\n<p>Cain came home and sorted his issues with Sam. And even he seemed sympathetic to John.<\/p>\n<h2>Vinny opened up to Kammy in Emmerdale tonight<\/h2>\n<p>After everything he has been going through, Vinny finally revealed what happend to Kammy.<\/p>\n<p>The pair had a very honest chat, where Vinny broke down in his best friends arms. Kammy tried to get Vinny to go to the police but to no avail.<\/p>\n<p>Instead they decided to move on from everything that went down between them. And Vinny even asked him to be his Best Man!<\/p>\n<h2>Gabby and Vinny's wedding was thrown into chaos<\/h2>\n<p>In the midst of everything, Gabby felt that getting married while the Dingles were worried about Aaron was the best thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>So, she suggested postponing. And Vinny was way too happy at that suggestion.<\/p>\n<p>But later, after Lydia filled Chas in, the pair were told it would be the last thing Aaron would want.<\/p>\n<p>And so after a tiny little pause, the wedding was back on. But Vinny clearly wasn't too thrilled. Gabby was also annoyed that he had forgiven Kammy.<\/p>\n<p>Will the wedding go ahead without a hitch?<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Read more: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emmerdale-insider.com\/news\/whos-leaving-emmerdale-2025-complete-guide-departures-returns-new-arrivals\/\"><strong>Who\u2019s leaving Emmerdale in 2025?
