Emmerdale fans 'work out' Gabby's downfall after 'all time new low'

Emmerdale fans think they have rumbled Gabby Thomas' downfall after an "all time new low" on Friday's episode.

Soap watchers will recall Gabby recently left the village to go on a long holiday to get over her heartbreak following her split from fiancé Nicky. Prior to her break, Gabby was left devastated after she discovered her fiancé Nicky was gay and using her to get an in at Home Farm.

While earlier this month, Gabby, who was still struggling with Nicky's admission, leant in to kiss Dawn Fletcher's husband Billy, leaving him horrified as he rejected her advances. However, Gabby returned to the village this week with the character and Billy both agreeing to keep their indiscretion a secret.

However, this all changed on Friday's episode when a worse for wear Gabby blackmailed Billy over their kiss, insisting he beat up Nicky, saying: "You should never keep secrets from your wife, Billy, it never ends well!", pointing out that despite her trying to kiss him she could "plant the seed of doubt" and "let Dawn do the rest".

Soap watchers were left furious over Gabby's behaviour but others were quick to point out her downfall as they insisted Billy just tell Dawn the truth. One person said: "I hope Billy tells Gabby to shove it & tells Dawn about the kiss. #Emmerdale", a different account put: "Billy, just go and tell Dawn what happened. Who do you think she’ll believe? #Emmerdale", another follower wrote: "#Emmerdale Gabby blackmailing Billy to beat up Nicky is daft. Billy should just tell Dawn that she went after him."

It comes as Gabby star Rosie Bentham explained why her character tried to kiss Billy. "It was a moment of madness that she comes to regret. She’s seeking validation from any man. She’s completely lost; I just picture Gabby waking up in the morning and feeling like her life is chaos," she told Inside Soap magazine.

Speaking of what's to come, she shared: "She needs to reset. Heartbreak can be long and tedious but she knows that she needs to get it all out. The tears need to come. Hopefully she’ll come back with a different head on with regards to the Nicky situation," but it looks like it won't be plain sailing as Rosie added: "Gabby has a lot on her plate and the next few months are chaotic."
