You know, it's not easy being part of the Dingle family. They're the biggest and most well-known clan in Emmerdale, and they take great pride in their long-standing traditions. This makes it tough for outsiders to become part of the family.
But there are exceptions. Some have managed to marry into the family and become true Dingles, like Paddy, Moira, and Rhona. And then there's Lydia, who may not have been born a Dingle, but she's practically the matriarch of the family.
But for others, it's not as simple. Acceptance into the Dingle clan is a delicate balance between their willingness to embrace tradition and the family's openness to newcomers. Take Ruby Fox-Miligan, for example. It wasn't until she formed a close friendship with Moira that she was finally welcomed into the family. Her previous snobbish behavior had kept her on the outside.
Then there's Gabby Thomas, who's in a relationship with Vinny Dingle. She's got a lot going against her. She lives at Home Farm, has her own successful business, and let's face it, she's a bit posh. So it's no surprise that she's struggling to be accepted by the Dingles.
But bless her, she's certainly trying. In fact, in Monday's episode, she showed up at Wishing Well with a thoughtful gift for the family. They had just buried their beloved patriarch Zak the day before, and Gabby brought them a pie in case they didn't feel like cooking. It was a sweet gesture, but not everyone saw it that way.
Mandy, in particular, had her doubts. She couldn't help but wonder if Gabby was being patronizing, as if she thought the Dingles would only enjoy a simple corned beef and onion pie. And when Gabby revealed that she had Victoria make the pie because she didn't know how to work the oven, it only confirmed Mandy's suspicions.
But despite Mandy's teasing, Gabby continued to try and fit in with the family. She even offered to help Sam and Vinny make a marker for Zak's grave, but it was clear she wasn't much help. So she decided to sit down and stay out of the way. Little did she know, she had made her biggest mistake yet. She had sat in Zak's chair, and Mandy and Vinny were quick to let her know it.
Later on, Mandy confided in Belle that she felt like she and Gabby were from different planets. But her worries were soon overshadowed by the return of Tina Dingle, who was claiming to be Vinny's biological mother and demanding a share of Wishing Well. Could Gabby prove to be an unexpected ally for Mandy in this family drama? Only time will tell.
