Emmerdale fans have been buzzing with theories about who will expose Mandy Dingle’s betrayal, and many are convinced it won’t be Tina Dingle. The Dingle family was recently shaken by the unexpected return of Tina (Samantha Power), who last appeared in the village in 1996.
Tina returned earlier this month for her father Zak’s (Steve Halliwell) funeral, as he passed away off-screen and was brought back from Scotland to be laid to rest in Emmerdale. True to Dingle family form, the funeral didn’t go smoothly, with Tina making a bold move to claim the Wishing Well cottage for herself.
Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) quickly intervened, however, revealing that Zak’s final wishes left the cottage to his other children: Cain (Jeff Hordley), Sam (James Hooton), and Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper). Since then, Tina has been determined to get her hands on the will so the others can’t use it to prove her claim is invalid. Fans also recently discovered that Tina is the biological mother of Mandy’s (Lisa Riley) son Vinny (Bradley Johnson).
Although Vinny is aware Mandy isn’t his birth mother, he has no idea about his actual parentage. Now, Tina is using this secret to blackmail Mandy, threatening to reveal the truth unless Mandy retrieves Zak’s will for her.
In the latest twist, Mandy, feeling the pressure, managed to locate the will and informed Tina, stirring up drama in Thursday’s episode (October 24). Fans on social media are convinced Mandy’s actions will come back to haunt her, especially since Lydia is already familiar with Zak’s final wishes through a letter he left her.
On an Emmerdale fan Facebook page, one viewer expressed disappointment, commenting, “Mandy, how could you be so selfish? The family has already been through enough.” Another noted, “Lydia wrote the will for Zak, so she knows exactly what’s in it.” A third fan added, “She’ll realize something’s wrong if the will changes.” Others shared concerns about the storyline, questioning if Mandy truly understands that Lydia already knows what Zak wanted.
