A new friendship for Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) turned to confusion on Emmerdale recently when Vinny got carried away and tried to kiss his friend Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah).

Kammy is confident, relaxed and reckless – all the things Vinny isn’t, basically. So when they spent an afternoon getting revenge on a delivery driver who’d made some pointed comments to Vinny, he was swept away by the excitement and fun they were having.

He leaned in to kiss Kammy, who didn’t reciprocate. They then tried to brush the whole thing off as being a joke. 

‘Kammy isn’t bothered about the kiss, he more feels for Vinny,’ Shebz Miah confirmed. ‘Kammy’s so relaxed. Kammy’s so confident in his sexuality. It’s more that he wants to offer a helping hand, because it’s a very tricky situation now that Vinny’s in. We’ve got Gabs on one hand, then all the other stuff in Vinny’s life and how does it affect that?’

With Vinny’s wedding to Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) coming up soon, Vinny is now feeling incredibly anxious about what happened with Kammy, particularly after Gabby insists that Kammy is on the guest list for the wedding.

When Vinny has to take Gabby’s car to the garage to be serviced, he can’t avoid Kammy any longer. As they talk, Gabby passes by on the phone with Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) and there’s a glitch in the call that means Laurel can hear everything Kammy and Vinny are talking about. 

It’s not long before Laurel demands a private word with Vinny and he’s naturally nervous about what Gabby’s step-mum might be about to say.

Knowing that Gabby has previously had her heart broken when former fiancé Nicky Miligan (Lewis Cope) jilted her on their wedding day after admitting he was gay, Laurel is obviously worried that history could be about to repeat itself.

For Vinny’s sake as much as Gabby’s she begs him to consider carefully whether he’s absolutely sure about the relationship with Gabby. She says if he has any doubts, he shouldn’t go ahead.

Rosie Bentham told us that potentially Gabby would be more devastated if this wedding didn’t happen than she was with Nicky.

‘I think this one would hit even deeper because it is someone that she genuinely has feelings for and has developed a very strong connection with,’ she reflected.

‘I think if Vinny is questioning things and really struggling, some communication needs to happen. But this stuff with Kammy, I don’t know how it would be initially received.

‘I can imagine Gabby feeling really let down and this big wedding and everything she’s expecting to happen, moving in together and him being such a father figure to Thomas – if that came crashing down I think she would really struggle.’
