Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson)’s beingness is astir to alteration successful an instant connected Emmerdale erstwhile helium makes the daze find that newly-returned Tina Dingle (Samantha Power) is, successful fact, his mother. 

We saw Tina turn up astatine the graveside erstwhile the household were holding the ceremonial for Zak (Steve Halliwell). From the reactions of the older household members it was wide that Tina wasn’t welcome, but Mandy (Lisa Riley) successful peculiar seemed highly upset. 

‘Tina’s surely a large benignant of character,’ Bradley Johnson recalled. ‘But past we could spot Mandy being precise shady towards her.’ 

It soon became wide that the crushed for this was that Mandy has been hiding a concealed for the full of Vinny’s life. Tina is really Vinny’s biologic mother, and Tina utilized this information to blackmail Mandy into helping her get her hands connected Wishing Well.
