Emmerdale spoilers are ahead for Vinny’s latest storyline. The episode has not yet aired on TV, but it is already available to watch on ITVX and YouTube.
Today’s episode wastes no time picking up after yesterday’s brutal attack, with Vinny waking up in hospital following Billy’s beating.
But just when it seems the worst might be over, another nightmare awaits him as the police arrive to arrest him.
Vinny ends up in hospital after being attacked
Yesterday’s Emmerdale saw Vinny collapse after being beaten up by Billy. However, today’s episode reveals that he survived to tell the tale after Mandy gets home and finds him.
As Vinny wakes in hospital with Mandy and Paddy by his side, he tells his mum how sorry he is for all the trouble he has caused.
At first Vinny won’t tell Mandy and Paddy who beat him up. But when Mandy threatens to call the police, he eventually admits Billy did it. He stops her from reporting the crime because he doesn’t want Dawn’s children to lose another parent.
Thankfully, Vinny is discharged, but another shocking twist hits when the police arrive at the hospital.

Back at home, Lewis is left panicking over Vinny’s arrest, caught between wanting to support him and being there for Nicola. But with Vinny now facing prison, it seems there may be no easy way back for the pair.
