We predicted Vinny and Gabby’s wedding wouldn’t go without a hitch, and guess what? We were right!

As the morning of the big day dawns, Vinny is panicking about Mike’s threats and Kammy feels awful for making things worse. Meanwhile, Gabby has her own stress to deal with mum Bernice rocks up at Mulberry Cottage unannounced. It soon transpires that Vinny isn’t the only one keeping secrets. There’s something Gabby has been hiding from her fiancee that could throw their wedding into jeopardy.

Acting on Bernice’s advice, Gabby heads over to find Vinny. Because it would be bad luck to see one another, Gabby speaks to Vinny through a wall as she reveals what’s wrong with her. Gabby’s confession leaves Vinny feeling even worse and he runs off.

Later, Gabby arrives at St Mary’s, ready to exchange vows. But Vinny is nowhere to be seen. After leaving his friend a worried voicemail, Kammy has to break the news to Gabby.

Fearing she’s been jilted, heartbroken Gabby runs through the village. Will Vinny turn up at the eleventh hour? Or are they finished?

Afterwards, Ray corners Dylan for a chat about April. He wants assurance that she’s going to keep quiet and not drop him in it with the police. When April hears Ray is doubting her discretion she’s furious. Dylan tries to calm her by insisting they remain focused on their goal to get a place together, but she’s had enough.

Next day, April stands up to Ray and demands to know when her and Dylan’s debt will be paid off. Ray responds by informing April he calls the shots, and Dylan looks on in despair as he drives off with his girlfriend in the car.

4. Sparks fly between Bernice and Bob in Emmerdale spoilers

Bernice is back where she belongs – in the village – but not everyone is pleased to see her. Nicola, in particular, is shocked by her sister’s front.

Two years have passed since Bernice left the Dales in shame after it was discovered she’d taken out a fraudulent loan in Nicola’s name to pay for improvements to the B&B. Nicola threatened police action, but agreed to keep quiet after Bernice signed over her share of the business.

After getting an earful from both Nicola, and Gabby, Bernice is left feeling very sorry for herself. At least she still has a friend in former business partner, Bob. He comforts Bernice, as she fears her family may never forgive her for what she did.

During an emotional heart-to-heart, Bernice and Bob discuss their missed chance of romance. It’s clear there’s still an attraction there, but will they act on their feelings and enjoy a fling while Bernice is back?

Claudette is concerned by the news, and thinks Liam’s problem needs looking into. Liam is understandably embarrassed, but Claudette keeps on at her boss to book an appointment to get checked out.

Could Liam’s little issue be a symptom of something more serious? And will he tell fiancée Chas what’s happening?
