Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) makes preparations in Emmerdale tonight as his time in the village begins to run out. The character recently confessed to Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) and Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) that he was driving the car Jimmy King (Nick Miles) swerved prior to the crash. Jimmy died shortly after he smashed his car into a wedding marquee, while Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) lost her life in hospital.
Vinny's plan for the future
Vinny knows that he needs to face consequences for his actions. He's already been charged, which means it won't be long until he goes to court.
In today's episode of the ITV soap, Vinny arrives in the café to speak with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) about his future. He explains that he's pleaded guilty, and has created a plan for when he's eventually released. Vinny has no intention of coming back to the village once he's done his time out of respect for Jimmy and Dawn's children.
He also asks Aaron to take Chip the dog as he doesn't want her to be rehomed. It breaks Aaron's heart to hear all of this from Vinny, but he agrees to take Chip and promises to help him with money when he gets out.
