Emmerdale fans are theorizing that Tina Dingle, portrayed by Samantha Power, has a second child who is already living in the Dales.
The character made a dramatic comeback to the village last week for her father Zak’s funeral, played by Steve Halliwell, whose passing off-screen resulted in his body being brought back from Scotland to Emmerdale.
Tina was last seen in the Dales in 1996, when she was portrayed by Jacqueline Pirie. However, after Zak’s death, she made a dramatic return and stirred up quite a commotion at the funeral.
The Dingles quickly found themselves in turmoil as Tina started throwing insults, diverting attention from Zak’s farewell. She even boldly tried to claim ownership of the family home.
Although she was on a tagging order, Tina was ultimately taken away by the police. However, in Monday’s episode (October 21), she made her return to the village once again.
In a surprising twist, it has been revealed that Tina is the biological mother of Vinny (Bradley Johnson), who was adopted by Mandy (Lisa Riley). Mandy has raised Vinny for most of his life after starting a relationship with his father, Paul Ashdale (Reece Dinsdale), according to reports from Leeds Live.
Mandy has always considered Vinny her son, and he has viewed her as his mother. However, fans now believe that Tina has another secret child, someone familiar to viewers.
One fan shared their thoughts on an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, stating, “Mandy is the only mom Vinny has ever known. Tina isn’t nice; she’s spiteful and is just looking to take advantage and stir up trouble.”
A fan speculated online: “I think she has a few more children.” The debate is heating up among viewers, with many believing that Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell) could be connected. One commenter noted, “Definitely! It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s Amelia—both are nasty characters!”
Curiosity was sparked as another fan wondered, “How would that work, though?” while sharing their theory: “You know how soaps are—anything can happen.”
Anticipation is growing among the audience, with one enthusiastic viewer commenting, “I would love for this to be revealed; I can picture it now!” Another viewer wholeheartedly agreed, adding, “100%.”
