\t\t\"Kim

There\u2019s few a villager who\u2019d risk going up against the Dales very own Queen of mean, Kim Tate<\/a> (Claire King<\/a>), though Gabby Thomas<\/a> (Rosie Bentham<\/a>) and Vinny Dingle<\/a> (Bradley Johnson<\/a>) take their chances next week.<\/p>\n

Vinny\u2019s growing fears over the impending court case<\/a>, in which he\u2019ll be called to testify against Mike (Macauley Cooper), the man who both attacked him<\/a> and evilly extorted him over his mounting confusion<\/a> over his sexuality, looked set to derail his wedding to Gabby.<\/p>\n

When you factor in her big secret<\/a>, that she cheated prior to tying the knot with Vinny, it seemed as though their nuptials would be a recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n

Alas, the two managed to make it down the aisle<\/a> (after a delayed entrance for Vinny) and Gabby is going full steam ahead with her plan for Vinny to adopt her young son, Thomas.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a fly in the ointment, however, and that fly happens to be a particularly formidable one, in the shape of Thomas\u2019 grandmother, Kim.<\/p>\n

Gabby had Thomas with Kim\u2019s son, Jamie Tate (Alexander Lincoln), with whom she shared a fractious relationship, with him getting her pregnant after a one night stand, and later insisting that she terminated the pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Though Gabby suffered a collapse<\/a>, potentially endangering her baby, and though Kim attempting to engineer a way forward for the couple, Jamie repeatedly made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with Gabby, or their baby.<\/p>\n

Jamie later began to spike his mother with diazepam, a tranquiliser, and upon realising what her son was doing, Kim faked her death<\/a> (for a second time) and disowned him. He later returned and convinced Gabby to help him destroy Kim, though his mum saw through his cruel plot.<\/p>\n

Jilting Gabby on the day they were planning to elope, Jamie sped out of the village and, to avoid hitting Chas Dingle<\/a> (Lucy Pargeter<\/a>) with his car, swerved and ended up in a lake.<\/p>\n

Though he was presumed dead by most, it turned out that he\u2019d learned a trick or two from dear sweet mum \u2013 he\u2019d faked his death<\/a>, too!<\/p>\n

Kim is initially dead set against Vinny adopting Thomas. She fears it will erase Jamie from his life and staunchly opposes the idea.<\/p>\n

It falls to Mandy Dingle<\/a> (Lisa Riley<\/a>) and Vinny to attempt to talk Kim round \u2013 no mean fit in itself!<\/p>\n

As they tell Kim that Thomas would benefit from having a full time father figure, and how much it would mean to both Vinny and the youngster, the ice begins to melt and she finally agrees to allow the adoption to go ahead.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Vinny
\n\t\tMike is on hand to ruin the moment for Vinny (Picture: Mark Bruce\/ITV)<\/p>\n

Mike, however, is lurking around the village, and his celebration over getting Kim\u2019s blessing is cut short when he makes his presence known, demanding more cash for his silence. <\/p>\n

Vinny offers a deal \u2013 if he keeps shtum to Gabby, Vinny will intentionally sabotage the court case, securing Mike\u2019s freedom. Mike agrees, unknowing that Vinny really plans on ensuring Mike goes down for his hideous crimes.<\/p>\n

As the court case approaches, however, Gabby seems to be getting closer to the truth and her suspicion is well and truly aroused. Will Kim\u2019s blessing be for nothing if she discovers Vinny\u2019s secret?<\/p>\n
