Members of the Dingle family are constantly finding themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place on Emmerdale. Belle Dingle is already facing her worst nightmare with Tom King. Meanwhile, also dealing with the stumping loss of her father – Zak Dingle. In fact, that’s a loss that has hit the entire Dingle family as a whole. Unfortunately, the misery doesn’t end there.
In the upcoming episodes, another Dingle faces a terrible fate on Emmerdale. Most long-term viewers would remember the stunning secret Mandy Dingle and Tina Dingle have been hiding for the better part of two decades. Recently, Tina has started blackmailing Mandy again. But can Mandy continue to give in to Tina’s demands just to cover up her past betrayal of her loved ones?
The latest spoilers reveal that the duo will face the consequences of the past. Thus, we can assume that their secret is about to spill out. It was recently revealed that Tina is actually the biological mother of Mandy’s son – Vinny. While the boy was aware that Mandy wasn’t his bio mom, he had no idea who actually gave birth to him.
The Thursday episode of the ITV sudser brought many more secrets to the surface. It was finally revealed that 20-odd years ago, Tina walked away from her son (Vinny), and left him alone to be raised by Paul Ashdale. Months later, Mandy got together with Paul to help raise little Vinny.
Tina tried to deny this and claimed that Vinny was matched away from her. However, Mandy argued that Tina did not want to be found. In fact, she had even changed her number so that she could not be contacted. A Vengeful Tina then admitted that she indeed is lying but Vinny would still believe her if she were to go and tell him that Mandy took him away while she was suffering from postnatal depression, and refused to give her baby back to her.
Tina has made it obvious that she would go to any lengths to convince Vinny that Mandy is the one to be blamed here. What’s even worse is that it is not Vinny that Tina actually wants. She is doing all this just so Mandy would relent and give him Zak’s will. Tina wants to sell Zak’s house and keep the money. But Zak left the house to her siblings in the will.
Will Mandy give in to the blackmailing, or will she expose Tina to the Dinle family? Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Emmerdale updates and spoilers on what happens next.
