Emmerdale’s Gabby Thomas Replaced by Two Characters After Shock Split from Vinny Dingle
A New Era Begins at Dale View
Emmerdale fans are in for another shake-up following the dramatic collapse of Gabby Thomas and Vinny Dingle’s short-lived marriage. In Friday’s (October 24) early-release episode, now streaming on ITVX and YouTube, the fallout from their split takes a surprising turn as Vinny gains two unexpected new housemates — and it’s all thanks to Kim Tate.
After Gabby walked out on Vinny and moved back to Home Farm with her young son Thomas, the Dingle favourite was left rattling around the house alone. But Kim, never one to leave things stagnant, decides it’s time for a change.
Kim Tate’s Plan in Motion
Meeting Vinny at the café, Kim points out how quiet Dale View must feel without Gabby and Thomas around. Though Vinny insists he can handle both the loneliness and the rent, Kim has already taken matters into her own hands.
Without waiting for Vinny’s approval, she reveals that she’s been advertising for new tenants. Enter Lewis Barton and his brother Ross — who just happen to be nearby when Kim mentions the vacancy.
Seizing the opportunity, the Barton brothers suggest moving in, and by the end of the day, the pair have already made themselves at home.
Gabby’s Shock and Jealousy
Gabby’s reaction is anything but calm when she discovers the new living arrangement. Spotting Vinny, Lewis, and Ross enjoying drinks together at The Woolpack, she fumes over how quickly she’s been replaced.
Complaining to Kim, Gabby snaps: “I don’t want him out just laughing, drinking, and happy!”
Her protest makes it clear that she’s still struggling with unresolved feelings about her split from Vinny — and perhaps isn’t quite ready to see him move on so easily.
