Emmerdale’s Gabby Thomas ‘Finds New Love’ After Brutal Split from Vinny Dingle
Emmerdale fans are bracing for more drama in the Dales after Gabby Thomas’ (Rosie Bentham) whirlwind marriage to Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) came to a sudden and emotional end. The newlyweds’ relationship imploded just weeks after tying the knot — and viewers are already convinced Gabby’s next romance is waiting for her at Home Farm.
Gabby and Vinny’s Marriage Crumbles
What began as a fresh start for Gabby quickly spiralled into mistrust and heartbreak. Since their wedding, cracks have been forming in the relationship, with Vinny struggling to come to terms with his own identity and a questionable encounter with Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah) leaving Gabby uneasy.
To make matters worse, Gabby confessed to having a one-night stand while on holiday in Portugal. The double betrayal left both partners reeling, and any remaining trust between them quickly evaporated.
Earlier this week, Gabby’s paranoia took over when she was caught snooping through Vinny’s phone, fearing he might stray again. But on Thursday’s episode (October 23), she finally called time on their marriage in a moment that shocked fans and left Vinny heartbroken.
“It’s Over — The Trust Is Gone”
Packing her bags and preparing to leave, Gabby told a devastated Vinny that she could no longer live under the weight of constant suspicion. “This isn’t working. The trust, it’s gone. I’m just always thinking the worst,” she admitted before announcing she would move back to Home Farm with her son, Thomas.
Vinny’s pleas for her to stay fell on deaf ears. Even his plans to adopt Thomas weren’t enough to change her mind. “I think it’s best if we move back into Kim’s,” she told him, adding coldly, “You can stay here if you want — Kim’s fine with that.”
The breakup marks another heartbreak for Vinny, who has endured tragedy and loss in recent years.
Fans Predict Gabby’s Next Romance
But as one chapter closes, fans believe another is already beginning — this time with Joe Tate (Ned Porteous). Joe, Kim Tate’s step-grandson, also lives at Home Farm, and his chemistry with Gabby hasn’t gone unnoticed by viewers.
Social media lit up following the episode, with fans predicting sparks will fly between the two. One fan posted: “Why do I feel like something is going to happen between Gabby and Joe now her and Vinny are over?”
Another added, “I can see it! Gabby’s moved back to Home Farm where Joe lives. She’s fancied him before — it’s bound to happen.”
Others suggested the pair could share a brief fling rather than a full romance. “I think a one-night stand, which they’ll both regret,” one viewer commented.
Over on X (formerly Twitter), another simply wrote: “Give it a few weeks!! #Emmerdale.”
Trouble Ahead at Home Farm
With Gabby now back under Kim Tate’s roof — and Joe’s presence stirring old feelings — the stage is set for fresh tension and temptation. If fan theories prove true, her rebound with Joe could shake up both families at Home Farm and lead to more fallout than she ever bargained for.
One thing’s certain: Gabby’s love life is far from settling down, and Emmerdale isn’t done with its latest round of heartbreak just yet.
