Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) has faced the wrath of those he has wronged in Emmerdale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last month, after returning to her wedding marquee following an attempt to flee the village with ex-hubby Billy (Jay Kontzle), Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) pledged her allegiance to fianc\u00e9 Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) and was ready to proceed with their ceremony.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, a car crashed<\/a> through the tent and towards the couple. Jimmy King (Nick Miles) was the driver, and he had no recollection of how the disaster had occurred.<\/p>\n

Very sadly, during a conversation with his wife Nicola (Nicola Wheeler), he passed away.<\/a><\/p>\n

But the drama was far from over, as in the aftermath of an explosion, Dawn was rushed to hospital and gave birth to a baby boy. Joe was beside her in bed talking about their happy future, though when he went to get her some water, she also died.<\/a><\/p>\n

A flashback later revealed that Vinny was on a video call to Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) at the time of the accident, and that Jimmy had been forced to swerve to avoid a collision.<\/p>\n

The pair have kept this a closely guarded secret ever since, but with his guilt intensifying, he decided to come clean to both Nicola and Joe earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Nicola ordered him to leave her caff, breaking down in tears. As for Joe, his reaction was far more chilling.<\/p>\n

In today’s episode, he stood glaring at Vinny, the magnitude of the revelation creeping in. There was an angry outburst, which was overheard by Billy.<\/p>\n

When he discovered what had happened, he launched a series of punches, knocking Vinny to the floor. Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) then walked in, and after helping Vinny to his feet, told him never to repeat what had happened.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, at The Woolpack, word was spreading about Vinny’s involvement in the deaths. Nicola shared a tearful conversation with his boyfriend Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches), who was also oblivious to what had happened, and then picked up the phone to call the police.<\/p>\n

Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) was reluctant to believe that Vinny was responsible, and upon his return home, was stunned to see his bloodied nose.<\/p>\n

She was horrified by his confession and tearfully rushed out the back door. Just seconds later, he suffered from some dizziness and fell to the ground.<\/p>\n

Will he be ok, and will Vinny be sent down for causing death by dangerous driving?<\/p>\n
