Mandy & Paddy To Exchange Vows- Again!
Back in Emmerdale, Dominic’s character and his ladylove, Mandy Dingle (played by Lisa Riley), are getting married again soon. Let us tell you that this couple first tied the knot in a fairytale ceremony 25 years ago. However, their relationship had its ups and downs.
Even Paddy’s mum, Barbara, tried to break them up by pretending to have a terminal illness. After their first marriage, Mandy felt she wasn’t good enough for Paddy, who had a university education. So, she started a college course in Hotten. Things got even worse when Mandy had an affair with her lecturer.
Nevertheless, this Emmerdale couple is now set to walk down the aisle once more. At a press event, Laura Shaw, the soap boss, revealed that there will be a second marriage for the beloved couple. She mentioned how wonderful their love story is and that she enjoyed revisiting their original Cinderella and Prince Charming wedding.
The maker teased, “There will be wedding bells for them in the not-too-distant future, but I can’t really tell you anything more than that because its still being storylined.” Let us see when that happens. Until then, for more Emmerdale updates, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers!
