Emmerdale saw Vinny Dingle and Lewis Barton get together this week, finally sharing a kiss after plenty of build-up. But tonight’s episode showed them at risk of hitting the rocks already. Are they really over before they really began?
The latest instalment opened with Kammy Hadiq popping over to the Barton house and congratulating his mate on having “finally smashed your way out of the friend zone” — a term that Ross wasn’t a fan off. Their conversation was interrupted though when Lewis walked into the living room and promptly left the house without saying more than a few words
Vinny, who had just beamed about how he felt like he finally felt like he understood who he was, looked completely deflated.
Kammy and Vinny then turned up to the café looking for Lewis, but Nicola King told them he was on a stock run, before prying for the gossip.

They didn’t say anything to her, but after she went off to make drinks, Vinny confided in Kammy about how confused he felt after the morning.
“It looks like he regrets it,” Vinny bemoaned, but Kammy said it was “just Lewis being Lewis” and that if he wants to know exactly what’s going on, he just needs to ask.
“I’m not sure I’ll like the answer,” Vinny said.
Later on, Vinny found Ross and Lewis playing pool and asked outright if he regretted the last night because of the way he left in the morning. He wondered if it was down to his lack of experience with other men.

Lewis explained that he really was late for work and that was taking up all his focus, explaining: “That’s the way I work.”
After the misunderstanding, the pair admitted that they were “google-eyed” over each other, and shared another kiss. It looks like the couple are officially back on!
Lewis actor Bradley Riches has been sharing the praise from fans about the scenes on social media wrote on Twitter/X: “AUTISM REP IN RELATIONSHIPS IS SO IMPORTANT.”
He also feels the fan name for the couple should be ‘Lenny’, so we guess that’s official now?
