ITV Emmerdale surprise romance ‘sealed’ as village favourite makes a move
Emmerdale is lining up a surprise romance storyline next week as two single characters enjoy each other's company on the ITV soap
Emmerdale is lining up a surprise romance storyline next week.
In upcoming scenes, Vinny Dingle opens up to Paddy Kirk about feeling lonely. In a bid to cheer up Vinny, Mandy Dingle plays Cupid as she asks Gabby Thomas to spend some time with him, hoping it will stop him from feeling lonely.
Later, Gabby and Vinny enjoy each other’s company in the Hide. With things going well, poor Vinny misreads the situation and kisses Gabby but is soon left mortified when it becomes clear that she doesn’t feel the same and the date was platonic.
A red-faced Vinny is quick to apologise to Gabby, where she awkwardly lets slip about Mandy and Paddy’s involvement in their plans. After seeing how humiliated and angry Vinny is, Paddy feels guilty over his and Mandy’s meddling in his life.

However, it looks as though a romance could potentially blossom as later Laurel Thomas offers some words of advice to Gabby as she suggests that she should break away from her usual type in men. Will Gabby give Vinny a chance and could this be the start of a surprise romance?
Soap fans will recall that the duo have had a tumultuous love life in the village. Vinny was left utterly heartbroken back in 2022 when his wife, Liv Dingle, was tragically killed during the soap’s 50th anniversary storm stunt week. Liv and Vinny were left crushed by a caravan during the terrifying storm, where Vinny was able to free himself from the wreckage but Liv was left trapped and unable to get out.
Meanwhile, Gabby hasn’t had the best track record with her love life after Jamie Tate, who she welcomed son Thomas Tate with back in 2021, faked his own death in a car crash in September 2021 as revenge on his mother Kim Tate. Gabby then found love with Nicky Milligan with the two getting engaged. However, just before their wedding, Gabby learnt that Nicky was gay and was faking their romance as part of his dad Caleb Milligan’s revenge plan against Kim.
It comes as Emmerdale recently hinted that Tom King could pursue an affair with Gabby in a bid to hurt wife Belle Dingle. Tom has been cruel to Belle for months from mocking her family and her values, to trying to plant seeds of self-doubt about her life and career in a heartbreaking storyline.
