YOUNG widower Vinny Dingle left his love life on the backburner after the death of his beloved wife Liv Flaherty.
However, one Emmerdale resident could change things up for him as friendship blossoms next week on ITV.
Liv Flaherty died in heart-breaking scenes aired in late 2022, in honour of the Yorkshire drama's fiftieth anniversary.
At the time of her death, Liv was married with Vinny Dingle (played by Bradley Johnson) and the pair had plans to travel around the world together.
But since her tragic demise, Vinny has stuck around in the village as he processed Liv's death.
Will he ever move on from her?

Earlier this year, viewers of the long-running program believed Vinny could have found a new love interest in the form of Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper).
However, Thomas King's return to the eponymous village changed everything as Belle rekindled their romance after a decade.
Thankfully for Vinny, there are plenty of single ladies in Emmerdale and one of them may catch his eye.
Coming up next week, Vinny grows closer to a surprising character – Naomi Walters who is none other than Charles Anderson's daughter.
