Emmerdale viewers are buzzing with excitement and speculation after a new theory emerged regarding the future of Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) and Gabby Thomas’s (Rosie Bentham) upcoming wedding. Several fans believe that Vinny’s late ex-wife, Liv Dingle (Isobel Steele), could return from the dead in a supernatural twist to stop the wedding — and it has everyone talking.
Vinny’s Struggle with His Sexuality
Since his engagement to Gabby, Vinny has been grappling with confusion and doubt over his sexuality. His internal conflict deepened after an incident in June, where he tried to kiss Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah), only to realize that it wasn’t reciprocated. This incident, paired with a conversation he had with his friend Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) — who shared his own history with Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) — has left Vinny more conflicted than ever.
Despite his growing uncertainty, Vinny continued to assure himself and others, including Gabby, that he was ready for marriage. However, his recent online searches for answers about his sexuality and the emotional conversations with Aaron suggest that Vinny may be far from certain.
Liv Dingle’s Potential Return
Fans have begun theorizing that Vinny’s troubled emotions and struggles with his upcoming wedding might lead to a shocking return from his late ex-wife, Liv. Liv tragically died in 2022 after being crushed by a caravan during the storm that marked Emmerdale’s 50th anniversary. Her death left Vinny devastated, but with the current turmoil in his life, many viewers think she could return to intervene in his life once again.
Several fans have suggested that Liv could make a dramatic return as an apparition or hallucination, appearing to Vinny just as he’s on the verge of going through with his marriage to Gabby. It’s believed that Liv’s presence could help Vinny confront his true feelings and potentially stop the wedding from taking place.
Fan Reactions and Theories
The idea of Liv returning in a ghostly form to help Vinny find clarity has sparked intense reactions from the Emmerdale fanbase. Many viewers have expressed their excitement and nostalgia for the character, especially considering how deep Vinny’s love for Liv was. Fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts:
-
“I’d love to see Liv come back as a hallucination for Vinny. She could make him see sense and stop his wedding to Gabby,” one fan wrote.
-
“This would be amazing. Vinny will always have a special place in his heart for Liv, so it makes sense that he’d listen to her if he saw her ghost,” another fan commented.
While these are just fan theories, the idea of Liv returning in some form would create a dramatic and emotional twist in Vinny’s storyline — potentially making his decision about his sexuality clearer and challenging his relationship with Gabby.
What’s Next for Gabby and Vinny?
As Vinny continues to explore his identity and reconsiders his future with Gabby, fans are eager to see what happens next. With Liv’s memory lingering over Vinny’s heart, it’s unclear whether he’ll be able to move forward with the wedding as planned, or if his unresolved feelings for his late wife will complicate things further.
One thing is for sure: whatever happens, it’s bound to be another emotional rollercoaster for the Dingles and Thomas family. Emmerdale fans are waiting eagerly to see how this storyline unfolds, and whether the supernatural influence of Liv will play a role in changing Vinny’s future with Gabby.
