In recent weeks on Emmerdale, Gabby Thomas and Vinny Dingle have been growing increasingly close, but viewers suspect Gabby has an ulterior motive behind their budding romance. Fans are convinced that Gabby is playing Vinny for her own gain.

Gabby and Vinny’s relationship has progressed rapidly, culminating in a passionate kiss and their decision to take their friendship to a new level. Following Mandy and Paddy’s wedding, Vinny, eager to start a new chapter in his life, lost his virginity to Gabby. Their relationship has since become public, which has pleased Aaron, who is glad to see his former brother-in-law moving on after Liv’s tragic death two years ago.

However, Gabby’s involvement in the ongoing divorce drama between Jai Sharma and Laurel Thomas raises questions about her true intentions. After a heated confrontation where Jai disrespected Laurel’s late husband, Ashley, Laurel suffered a heart attack. Though she recovered, she decided to divorce Jai, leading to a bitter feud. Jai has been determined to ensure Laurel receives nothing from him, and Gabby has joined forces with Laurel to buy Jai’s shares in The Hide, according to reports from the Manchester Evening News.

Gabby’s latest move has left Jai furious after she revealed that his estranged wife is now a new investor in The Bistro. As Gabby becomes more involved in the business world and her relationship with Vinny heats up, fans are speculating that her interest in Vinny might be motivated by financial gain. On a popular Emmerdale fan page, viewers have voiced their suspicions. One fan commented, “Watch this space—Gabby might get Vinny to invest in The Hide.” Another responded, “It all seems too good to be true; poor Vinny.” A third viewer added, “It feels like Gabby has a hidden agenda. It’s a shame because they do make a sweet couple.”

As the drama unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Gabby’s romance with Vinny is genuine or if she’s orchestrating a more calculated scheme.
