Emmerdale fans left stunned as legendary couple reunite – with a dramatic twist
VIEWERS of Emmerdale were left stunned as they watched former flames Mandy Dingle and Paddy Kirk give into temptation and reunite – but things did not exactly go to plan.
During Monday night’s episode of the ITV soap opera, a distressed Paddy (Dominic Brunt) sought comfort in the arms of his ex, Mandy (Lisa Riley).
Whilst everything started out more than innocent, it became clear that Paddy was intrigued to see if the pair could rekindle their spark from years gone by.
Mandy was clearly uncomfortable after opening up to son Vinny weeks ago about her lingering feelings for Paddy.
She was scared to fall into another one-off situation that would leave her craving more from her ex.
However, as the pair got closer on the sofa and reminisced on old times, Paddy planted an unexpected peck on Mandy’s lips.
A shocked Mandy said: “Paddy, I, I, I don’t know if we should be doing this?”
In agreement, Paddy said “no, probably not,” before going in for a second round of smooches with the salon owner.
As their snogfest continued, Paddy asked: “Is anyone in?”
“What are you suggesting?”, Mandy mumbled back, to which Paddy answered: “What do you think?”
But as Mandy got cold feet about going even further with her ex-lover, she quickly called into question if they were getting up to no good.
Despite Paddy’s insistence, Mandy rebuffed his advances until he was sure that he wanted to permanently take her back.
Taking all the blame, a fragile Paddy became distressed as he blamed himself for being “selfish” and “throwing himself” at Mandy.
He then quickly bolted for the door.
Fans were left in shock at the pair’s reunion and had a lot to say about the couple online.
One fan said:” Can’t believe that just happened.”
Another added: “Oh my god, no way!”
As a third said: “That’s crazy, so are they back together then?!”
