Emmerdale Star Lisa Riley Discusses Upcoming Revelations and Mandy’s Quest for Revenge

In an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, Emmerdale star Lisa Riley,

known for her role as Mandy Dingle, hinted at some intense drama brewing

in the Dingle household. A major storyline involving Tom King’s dark past is set to resurface, potentially leading to a quest for revenge.

The Secret About Tom King

Earlier this year, a shocking incident occurred when Tom attacked Mandy’s son, Vinnie, hitting him over the head with a paperweight at the scrapyard. After leaving Vinnie for dead, Tom erased his fingerprints, and Vinnie, struggling to remember the details of the attack, was unable to identify his assailant. While many of Tom’s other crimes have been exposed, the impact of this brutal attack on Vinnie remains unresolved, and the Dingle matriarch is still in the dark about what really happened.

Lisa teased that the truth about Tom’s actions may soon come to light, hinting at a thrilling showdown: “Mandy’s cricket bat is very much in her life—whether or not she hits him is a different story; we’ll have to wait and see.” This suggests that when Mandy learns about Tom’s true nature, her maternal instincts may ignite a fierce desire for revenge.

Fan Reactions and Tom’s Abuse of Belle

In her chat, Lisa also addressed the intense fan reaction to Tom’s abusive behavior towards Belle. “Everywhere we go, people want him dead. I’m at the supermarket and they’re like, ‘When’s he going to die?’ which is quite fierce,” she said, highlighting how effectively the actor portraying Tom is invoking such strong emotions from viewers. It’s clear that Tom’s villainous role is resonating with fans, proving the character is being portrayed convincingly.

Celebrating the Dingles

Following the Inside Soap Awards, where the Dingle family was awarded the Best Family prize, Lisa expressed her pride in the recognition. “It’s amazing; it’s not a cliché. We’re so proud of our surname; we never take it for granted when people say you’ll win,” she said with a laugh, playfully noting that they can’t put the award in their home because it’s “too posh for our house.”

What’s Next for Mandy and the Dingles?

As the storyline unfolds, fans are eagerly anticipating how Mandy will react when the truth about Tom King is finally revealed. With the potential for a dramatic confrontation, the Dingle family is poised for some thrilling developments in the coming episodes. Keep watching Emmerdale to see how this gripping saga unfolds and whether Mandy will finally get the revenge she seeks for her son, Vinnie.
