Emmerdale viewers are convinced that Tina Dingle (Samantha Power) has a secret second child who is already living in the village.
The character made a dramatic return to the Dales last week for her father Zak's (Steve Halliwell) funeral, causing quite a stir among the family. Tina was last seen in the village back in 1996, portrayed by Jacqueline Pirie.
However, she has returned following the news of Zak's death. She caused quite a scene at the funeral, insulting the family and trying to claim the family home.
Tina was back in the village during Monday's episode (October 21), where it was revealed she is Vinny's (Bradley Johnson) biological mother, who was adopted by Mandy (Lise Riley).
Fans now believe Tina has another secret child, with one viewer posting on an Emmerdale Facebook fan page: "Mandy is the only Mum Vinny has known . Tina isn't nice she's spiteful and is just after what she can get and cause trouble."
One person responded: "I think she has a few more children." Fans speculated that the character in question could be Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell), with one viewer pondering: "Definitely! Wouldn't surprise me if it's Amelia - both nasty characters! ", reports Leeds Live.
Another fan queried: "How would that work though?," and added: "You know what soaps are like, anything can happen." An enthusiastic fifth fan posted: "I would love for this to come out, I can see it now! " Another comment read: "100%."
Samantha gave fans a hint of what to expect from Tina, saying: "Well, she has no filters, and she will literally do anything to make sure she gets her way, including her claim to the house. She is not one to be trusted! I loved it! " She further described Tina as "She is feisty, bolshy, selfish, and she always seems to have an agenda and won't stop at anything to get what she wants! ".
