Emmerdale fans believe they’ve ‘uncovered’ Gabby Thomas’ scheme for Vinny Dingle, suspecting she has a hidden agenda in their budding romance.

Gabby (played by Rosie Bentham) and Vinny (Bradley Johnson) have been growing closer over the past few months, recently taking their friendship to the next level.

After a shared kiss, Vinny was keen to embark on a new relationship and lose his virginity. Following Mandy (Lisa Riley) and Paddy’s (Dominic Brunt) wedding, Vinny and Gabby slept together for the first time.

They’ve since gone public with their relationship, much to Aaron’s (Danny Miller) delight, who is happy to see his former brother-in-law moving on two years after Liv’s (Isobel Steele) death.

However, Gabby is also embroiled in the acrimonious divorce plot between Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) and Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy), reports the Express.

After a heated row resulted in Jai disrespecting Laurel’s late husband Ashley, Laurel had a heart attack. She recovered and told Jai she wanted a divorce, leading to ongoing conflict.

As Jai tries to ensure Laurel gets nothing from him, Laurel and Gabby have devised a plan to buy his shares in The Hide.

Gabby’s recent move in Emmerdale has left Jai seething after she informed him that his estranged wife is the new investor in the bistro.

Meanwhile, as Gabby ventures into the business world and sparks fly with Vinny, viewers are speculating that she might be using Vinny for financial gain.

On a Facebook fan page dedicated to Emmerdale, one viewer predicted: “Watch this space. Gabby is going to get Vinny to buy into the Hide.”

A third added their thoughts: “Yes I think she has something planned, a shame as they make a sweet couple.”
