Emmerdale Marriage on the Brink as Gabby Hides Huge Secret from Vinny
Emmerdale fans are bracing for heartbreak as Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) and Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) head toward their wedding day under a cloud of secrets, courtroom battles, and unexpected family clashes.
Vinny’s Hidden Fears
Though determined to build a future with Gabby and her son Thomas, Vinny is struggling behind the scenes. He fears not being accepted as a father figure and is wracked with anxiety over testifying in court against Mike, the man who tormented him.
When Vinny learns the defence plans to call Gabby as a witness, he panics. Instead of confiding in her, he lies about the case and withdraws as a witness, convinced that silence is the only way to protect their marriage.
Kim Tate Throws a Curveball
Gabby and Vinny face another hurdle when Kim Tate (Claire King) initially blocks Thomas’ adoption, arguing it would erase Jamie’s presence from his son’s life. But after heartfelt talks with Mandy and Vinny, Kim reluctantly gives her blessing.
Their relief is short-lived. Mike resurfaces in the village, demanding money from Gabby and inserting himself back into Vinny’s life. Cornered, Vinny makes a dangerous deal: he’ll testify for Mike if Gabby is left out of it.
What Mike doesn’t know is that Vinny has his own plan — to flip the script and expose the truth in court.
Gabby’s Growing Suspicion
Gabby senses Vinny is hiding something and presses him for honesty. Instead, he doubles down on his lies, deepening the cracks in their relationship. Laurel adds fuel to the fire, reminding Gabby she’s hiding secrets of her own.
As the trial nears, Vinny steels himself to face Mike. But just as he prepares to reveal that their first encounter happened on a sexuality forum, he spots Gabby in the public gallery staring him down — leaving him torn between truth and loyalty.
A Marriage at Breaking Point
The weight of secrets, betrayals, and courtroom drama threatens to derail Vinny and Gabby’s wedding before it even begins. With Vinny’s testimony hanging in the balance, the couple’s entire future could be destroyed in one explosive moment.
