EMMERDALE SPOILERS | FANS BRAND "BEST PROPOSAL OF THE YEAR" AFTER MANDY AND PAUL GET ENGAGED18/1/2021
Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson), heartbroken, about the lies his dad Paul Ashdale (Reece Dinsdale) has been telling him and Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) for months in relation to his gambling addiction.
Today was very much a do or die scenario for Paul, either he tells Mandy or Vinny will be forced to.
In the beginning of tonight's (Monday 18 January 2021) episode, Paul was on edge in Wishing Well Cottage, unsure if Vinny had told Mandy already.
Rushing down the stairs, thinking Paul had left already, Mandy did her best to push him out the door so she could put her plan into action with Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) as her accompolice.
Before Paul left, he asked Mandy if he had done anything wrong but Mandy held her cards close to her chest about what the 'problem' was. Mandy told Paul she will have something to ask him later in the day.
With Paul out of the house, Mandy & Lydia conspired to stage a rather elaborate wedding proposal for Paul in The Woolpack that afternoon. Paul was baffled, he was convinced either Vinny told Mandy already or she found out somehow about his gambling. One last time, Paul tried to plead his innocence to Vinny. However, Vinny was having none of it and said in not so many words that Paul's time was up and it's time to come clean. Rushing into The Woolpack, Vinny was rather confused with how the pub looked. After he shouted for his mum, the whole atmosphere changed and out came Mandy Dingle with a over-exaggerated and flamboyant marraige proposal to Paul. Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw) and Lydia providing the backing vocals, Mandy belted out "You're The One That I Want" from the Grease soundtrack to a dumbfounded Paul and an onlooking Vinny.
Mandy tried to get Paul & Vinny to join in but they were far too confused to care.
Eventually, Mandy got to the point of this whole exercise, whipped a ring out and proposed to Paul. Dumstruck, Paul accepted and said "of course I will". Vinny was quietly pleased but disappointed with keeping Paul's lies for a bit longer. Making some excuses about getting Mandy a ring, Paul asked Vinny to leave with him. Outside The Woolpack, Vinny explained how disappointed he was with Paul but then things took a dangerous turn.
The more Vinny pressurised Paul to come clean the more irate Paul got, eventually Paul snapped and again beat Vinny up leaving his son lying on the grass.
Eventually Vinny managed to get back on his feet but the boy was visibly broken.
Fans jumped on Twitter to brand "best proposel and others thinking they're hallucinating.
Karen Blick told AndyGibsonTV.com she "loved filming this ep".
Emmerdale continues on ITV/STV tomorrow at 19:00.

Following months of Domestic Abuse, Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King) is currently trying to rebuild her life. Her abuser, Geoff Mecalfe (who was portrayed by Ian Bartholomew), may be dead but he's still in the mind of Yasmeen. In tonight's (Wednesday 13 January 2021) Coronation Street episodes, Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) celebrated a birthday with her twin brother Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain). After a disappointing present in the form of a shop sign from her dad, Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin), Asha went to Roy's Rolls where she was greeted from her friend Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) who gifted Asha an identical choker neclace earlier.
Asha proudly wore the choker as it is one of her more favourite presents but her boyfriend, Corey Brent (Maximus Evans), had other ideas. Yasmeen was sitting a few tables away, witnessing the whole thing when Corey belittled Asha for wearing the choker. Basically likening Asha to a dog as the choker resembled a dog collar. Corey's actions almost mirrored Geoff's to Yasmeen. Yasmeen couldn't help but see herself in Asha. Later, when Corey left Roy's Rolls, Yasmeen stood up and calmly spoke to Asha about the choker incident. Yasmeen tried to reassure Asha that Corey wasn't being very kind. Yasmeen went on to explain Asha wasn't made to remove the choker. At first, Asha dismissed Yasmeen saying it's just what couples do - calling it 'bants' - but when Nina noticed Asha wasn't wearing the choker, Nina asked Asha if she was OK where Asha shook her head in the no fashion. In the end, Asha decided to terminate her relationship with Corey and live her life her way. Coronation Street continues on ITV/STV. Aadi & Asha Alahan turned 16-years-old in tonight's (Wednesday 13 January 2021) Coronation Street episodes. Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) wanted a moped but he didn't want to share one with his sister Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) - who was more interested in texting her 'loving' boyfriend. In fact, Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) thought of the ultimate gesutre and decided to put their initials on his shop's branding. Both children were left hugely disappointed and Asha claimed she "couldn't think of anything worse" leaving Dev at a loss for words. Coronation Street is back at 20:30 this evening on ITV/STV.
