Emmerdale Fans Predict Gabby Thomas’ New Romance After Brutal Split from Vinny Dingle
Emmerdale viewers are reeling after Gabby Thomas called time on her whirlwind marriage to Vinny Dingle — and now, fans are convinced she already has her sights set on someone new.
Gabby and Vinny’s Short-Lived Marriage Ends in Heartbreak
The end came faster than anyone expected. Just weeks after saying “I do,” Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) and Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) have split, leaving their families shocked and fans stunned.
The cracks began to show when Vinny admitted confusion over his sexuality and shared a moment with Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah). The revelation rattled Gabby, who soon admitted to her own betrayal — a one-night stand while holidaying in Portugal.
Distrust quickly poisoned their young marriage. Earlier this week, Gabby was caught scrolling through Vinny’s phone, desperate for reassurance that he wasn’t being unfaithful. But on Thursday’s (October 23) episode, she made her final decision.
In a cutting exchange, Gabby told Vinny, “This isn’t working. The trust, it’s gone. I’m just always thinking the worst.” She then packed her bags, taking her son Thomas and returning to Home Farm — leaving Vinny behind in tears.
Back to Home Farm — and Joe Tate
Now living once again under the same roof as Kim Tate (Claire King), Gabby’s life has come full circle. But what’s caught fans’ attention is the return of Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), Kim’s step-grandson, who also resides at Home Farm.
Viewers are convinced the pair’s close proximity will spark a new romance.
One fan posted on Facebook, “Why do I feel like something is going to happen between Gabby and Joe now her and Vinny are over?” Another agreed, replying, “I thought that too — she’s always fancied him.”
A third added, “Hope so! That will teach Dawn.” Meanwhile, another fan predicted a brief but scandalous encounter: “Gabby’s moved into Home Farm where Joe lives. I think a one-night stand is coming, one they’ll both regret.”
On X, one user summed up the general mood: “Give it a few weeks!! #Emmerdale.”
Trouble Brewing at Home Farm?
If Gabby does grow closer to Joe, it could create chaos at Home Farm. With Kim always protective of her empire, any romantic entanglements could upset the delicate balance in the Tate household — especially if Dawn and Joe’s relationship is still complicated.
Gabby’s track record with impulsive choices and Joe’s history of manipulation could make for a combustible pairing. Whether it’s love, lust, or revenge, their connection is bound to stir up drama in the Dales.
What’s Next for Gabby?
After years of heartbreak and bad luck in love, Gabby seems desperate for stability — but moving back to Home Farm might not bring the peace she hopes for. Between Joe’s charm and Kim’s sharp eye, Gabby’s next chapter could be her most unpredictable yet.
As one fan put it: “Gabby doesn’t stay single for long. Home Farm’s about to get messy.”
