Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) is currently lost in a convoluted web of lies that is about to cost him his best friend in Emmerdale.
In a desperate bid to work out what’s going on in his own head regarding his sexuality, Vinny went online and made friends with someone called Mike, who seemed to have been going through the same thing.
But alas for poor, naive, vulnerable Vinny, Mike was just a persona of a man who held him hostage, extorted him over his sexuality for 10 grand, then beat him to a pulp.
In shock, ashamed, and hurting, Vinny later found himself picking a fight with Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah) in part due to his trauma and in part to create a cover up. It worked, and Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) came to believe that Kammy was the one who attacked Vinny.
Gabby is now insistent on getting the police involved and a guilty Vinny works hard to convince her otherwise.
But Vinny’s lies have wide-reaching implications that are set to catch up with him.
Gabby is desperate to get at Kammy even though she can’t call the police, so she tells Belle (Eden Taylor Draper) about Kammy’s violent side.
Belle is horrified – with her history of abusive men, this is enough for Belle to call time on their fledgling romance. She refuses to allow another violent man into her life.
Kammy tries to defend himself, but Belle can’t take the risk and calls it all off. Kammy is raging – he’s innocent after all. Disappointed that their dating has come to an end, Belle goes to offload on Vinny.
Vinny is in turmoil; he can’t tell the truth, but he’s destroyed to know he’s the reason she and Kammy won’t be going any further.

Vinny later tries to apologise for the results of his actions, but Kammy is beyond it all at this point. Having got him in trouble and turned people against him, Kammy has had enough.
A hopeful Kammy tries one more time with Belle but it’s a closed door, she cannot take a chance having just freed herself of Tom.
Vinny’s guilt raises exponentially when he sees how gutted Belle is too. Will his conscience catch up with him? Or will Kammy feel forced to spill the beans?
