Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale‘s Gabby Thomas and Vinny Dingle fight to save their relationship next week, as they undergo crisis marriage counselling. Can they get things back on track?

Desperate to make things work with her husband, Gabby calls on an unlikely source to help things – but can the couple make it through this rough patch?

“Vinny bravely agrees to testify against his attacker Mike,” our Emmerdale insider explains. “But this leaves him in a sticky situation when Gabby turns up at court as he’s about to speak about his doubts over his sexuality.

“Plus, let’s not forget that Gabby had a sordid one-night stand shortly before their wedding. There are big secrets from both sides…”

How the court drama unfolds remains under wraps for now, but in the aftermath next week, Gabby confides in Charles Anderson – seeking a father figure in the absence of her late dad Ashley.

Vinny gets a surprise when Gabby returns home with the vicar in tow, having asked Charles to give them a therapy session.

“While Vinny is initially reluctant to chat through his problems, he finally begins to open up about everything,” our source continues. “Charles tells the pair that they clearly care deeply about each other, which seems to resolve any remaining tension between them.

“The session proves to be a success, and things begin to look a little brighter for the young couple.”

There might still be a rocky road ahead, but after their counselling Gabby and Vinny feel cautiously hopeful about their future together.

The couple try hard to act like everything is normal, but Lewis Barton sees right through their pretence and realises that something is still wrong with their relationship.

Lewis pulls Vinny for a chat in the café and kindly offers a listening ear. Vinny is touched and agrees to talk through his recent struggles. But as the friends share a warm embrace after their heart-to-heart, Gabby walks in…

“When Gabby spots Vinny hugging Lewis, it’s impossible for doubts not to creep in once again,” our spy warns. “Things might be totally innocent, but she’s still shocked by what she sees.

“With her marriage hanging by a thread, when it comes to her husband, the smallest of moments could send Gabby spiralling.”

There’s been enough ups and downs in the first few weeks of Gabby and Vinny’s marriage to last a lifetime, but will they be able to move forward or is there simply too much water under the bridge?
