Emmerdale’s Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) is unaware that Vinny (Bradley Johnson) is being abused by Paul Ashdale (Reece Dinsdale). Vinny has grown to become terrified of his dad, too afraid to tell Mandy the full truth, knowing it would completely destroy her.

With Emmerdale being the first soap to air a massive stunt under social distancing measures next week, it will be a week the residents will never forget.

Mandy, Paul and Vinny will be heavily involved, given that Mandy is preparing to finally marry Paul, and ahead of the huge week, actress Lisa Riley has revealed all on what to expect, including how reading the story and learning how everything will play out actually made her cry!

‘The story — and especially this week — just reading it, it made us cry,’ the actress explained to Metro.co.uk. ‘And also, you question: “how are we going to pull this off with our regime?” And then you look at it, and we’ve seen it, and we’ve gone: [shocked face].

‘We know how a day-to-day working environment is, so that’s testament to our crew and putting that together, and still fulfilling safety every second of the way. I’m like: “Wow!”, and I’m saying that as a viewer.’

Lisa also referred to the huge week as ‘cinematic’, and revealed that she is excited to sit down with the rest of the nation at 7pm to watch the action all play out.

‘It’s going to be cinematic,’ she continued. ‘It is the week. Everyone has been waiting to see what’s happening next and they’re all going to get it played out in the week.

‘For us, we shot it over five weeks. It has everything. Everything that the viewer wants to see and wants to feel, with the emotions, it’s in the week.

‘I have never been more excited to actually sit down and watch it at 7 with the rest of the country. I’m literally like: “Come on, when’s it the week?!”’
