‘Would never happen in real life’ fume Emmerdale fans as they lash out at ‘nonsense’ new romance plot
EMMERDALE fans have been left utterly enraged by a new romance storyline.
Rosie Bentham, 22, has played the character of Gabby Thomas on the Dales since January 2016.

Gabby previously slept with Jamie Tate (Alex Lincoln) and it resulted in a surprise pregnancy with their son, Thomas.
After he wanted nothing to do with them, she embarked on a new relationship with Nicky Miligan (Lewis Cope).
However, she was left heartbroken after he turned out to be gay and was only pretending to be with her as part of his dad Caleb’s plot to get one over on Kim Tate.
In recent episodes, Emmerdale fans have seen her encouraged to spend time with Vinny Dingle (played by Bradley Johnson).
He was feeling lonely following the tragic death of his wife Liv Flaherty during the village storm in 2022.
The pair have shared a number of kisses on the soap as Gabby’s feelings have been slowly growing over time.
However, it seems that the storyline is not catching on with fans at all as they slammed the couple plot on social media.
Viewers took to X – formerly known as Twitter – in their droves, as one fan fumed: “I don’t really buy Gabby being into Vinny, she looks out of place in the Dingle house and slumming it at the scrap yard.”
Whilst a second wrote: “The writers with this Vinny/Gabby nonsense. Honestly!”
“I can’t buy into Gabby wanting anything romantic with Vinny, no offense to him mind but like hell she would,” raged a third fan.
This is as a fourth user noted: “Vinny and Gabby would NEVER happen in real life.”
As a another said: “Vinny and Gabby just doesn’t work! #emmerdale kill it now!”
And a sixth added: “Gabby and Vinny seriously, this is so unbelievable.”
