Gabby Thomas’s wedding to Vinny Dingle should be a dream come true. But instead of pure joy, next week’s episodes bring heartbreak, panic, and fresh drama as Gabby realises two of the most important people in her life might not be there to share it with her.
Gabby’s Missing Support System
With the countdown to her wedding underway, Gabby throws herself into last-minute planning. But her excitement quickly fades when she faces a devastating truth—there’s no one to walk her down the aisle.
Gabby is gutted at the thought of marrying without her mum Bernice Blackstock or Kim Tate by her side. Both women have played huge roles in her life, and the bride-to-be fears the ceremony won’t feel the same without them.
Is there still time for a surprise return, or will Gabby be forced to face the altar without the support she longs for?
Rumours of Bernice’s Return
Earlier this year, The Sun reported that Samantha Giles, who played Bernice, would be making a brief comeback after leaving the soap in 2023.
If true, her return could be perfectly timed to reunite mother and daughter on Gabby’s big day. But will Bernice really show up in time, or will Gabby’s fears prove correct?
Vinny’s Secret Struggle
While Gabby stresses over her guest list, Vinny is battling demons of his own. For months, he has been questioning his sexuality—a secret he has kept from Gabby as the wedding day looms.
After confiding in an online scammer named Mike, Vinny found himself attacked and blackmailed for money. The dangerous twist has left him shaken, and now, his best friend Kammy Hadiq is stepping in to help.
Kammy’s Bold Plan
Next week, Vinny opens up to Kammy, admitting the full extent of Mike’s threats. Furious on his friend’s behalf, Kammy vows to fight back.
When Vinny refuses to involve the police, Kammy takes matters into his own hands—tracking Mike down on an LGBTQ+ forum. But will Kammy’s bold move put an end to the blackmail before the wedding? Or will it lead to even more danger just as Gabby prepares to say “I do”?
A Wedding on the Brink
Between Gabby’s heartbreak over missing family members and Vinny’s dangerous secret spiralling out of control, their big day is shaping up to be anything but smooth.
Will Gabby get her fairytale wedding—or is disaster waiting just around the corner?
