Emmerdale Shock Ahead as Gabby Decides Her Future with Vinny
Gabby Reaches Her Breaking Point
Next week on Emmerdale, Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) makes a huge decision about her marriage to Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) — one that could change both their lives forever.
While Gabby has promised to make her marriage work, she’s been quietly battling insecurity and doubt. Vinny’s recent confusion over his sexuality has shaken her confidence, reopening old wounds from her past relationships.
An insider explained, “What Gabby’s had to deal with is enough to rock any marriage in its early weeks. Her previous fiancé was gay, and with her mum Bernice’s similar romantic history, it’s no wonder Gabby is feeling paranoid.”
Despite her brave face, it’s clear Gabby’s faith in her relationship is slipping fast.

Mandy Grows Suspicious
When Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) spots Gabby snooping through Vinny’s phone, she immediately senses trouble. Although Gabby claims she trusts her husband, her actions suggest otherwise.
Gabby later questions Vinny about his messages, and while his answer seems to calm her, Mandy remains unconvinced that all is well between the newlyweds.
As tensions simmer, Mandy warns Gabby that trust is the foundation of any marriage — but her words only deepen Gabby’s uncertainty.
Soon after, Gabby admits she’s made a major decision, leaving Vinny blindsided. But is she ready to walk away, or will she fight to rebuild their marriage?
Vinny’s Friendship with Lewis Raises Questions
Meanwhile, Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches) continues to offer Vinny a shoulder to lean on. The new friendship has been a source of comfort for Vinny as he wrestles with his feelings and identity.
Speaking recently, actor Bradley Riches shared the importance of the storyline:
“It’s about having someone from the queer community helping Vinny and saying, ‘It’s not weird to think these things. Everyone’s story is different.’”
Fans have noticed the growing closeness between the two men, sparking speculation about whether their friendship could evolve into something more.
Riches added, “At the beginning, it’s definitely a friendship. But every good relationship is based on friendship — so who knows?”
What Comes Next for the Dingles
As Gabby and Vinny face their most difficult test yet, emotions are set to run high in the Dales. Gabby’s fear of history repeating itself may push her into a decision she can’t undo.
Vinny, meanwhile, must confront his own truth — and decide whether his marriage can survive the uncertainty surrounding his feelings.
With Mandy caught in the middle and Lewis offering unexpected support, this storyline promises heartbreak, honesty, and hope in equal measure.
