Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) has got himself in quite the pickle in Emmerdale, having begun to question his sexual identity after getting engaged to a woman whose last ex pretended to be straight in order to scam her into marrying him.
Some weeks ago now, after a close moment between them, Vinny accidentally leant in to kiss Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah).
Kammy backed off immediately and it clear he didn’t like Vinny that way, but has since been supportive of Vinny finding out who he really is.
His first proper relationship before Gabby (Rosie Bentham) was asexual, so until now he hasn’t had the chance to discover where his true sexual identity lies.
He’s been in denial to the point that he stepped up his wedding with Gabby in a bid to convince himself that he’s straight.
But all that has done is increase the internal turmoil for the awkward lad who has no idea how to back out of it.
Vinny goes full steam ahead on the wedding, still lying to himself, and chats about his impending nuptials with Mandy (Lisa Riley) hoping reassurance from his mum will quell his growing fear. Kammy gifts Vinny a watch for his wedding and again Vinny is left trying to convince himself he’s making the right move.
But, when Kammy is busy at the scrap yard, Vinny watches him work with a lustful gaze and it is patently obvious that Vinny is making a mistake marrying a woman.
The next day, Aaron (Danny Miller) cottons on to the fact that something is amiss when he confesses that he kissed Robert on his wedding day and Vinny reacts weirdly.
Aaron is close to realising what’s really going on, Vinny then confesses the truth – that he nearly kissed someone else too. Aaron is sympathetic, but will he read between the lines?
