Emmerdale tonight spoilers as Zak Dingle silence angers 'hurt' family member
ITV Emmerdale tonight as Dingles face life without Zak as Tina sticks around with 'interests' in the village
Daniel Kilkelly
Emmerdale aired a major Dingle family twist in Monday's episode as returning character Tina clashed bitterly with Mandy.
Show bosses have recast the role of Tina for a big new storyline involving Vinny Dingle's parentage.
Tina made a surprise appearance at her father Zak's funeral last week, causing outrage among the family when she tried to stake a claim on the Dingle family home.
Lydia led the way in standing up to Tina, insisting that she isn't mentioned in Zak's will and wouldn't be getting an inheritance.

The row ended prematurely as Tina, who was wearing an ankle tag, found herself hauled off by the police for breaching her release conditions.
In Monday's episode, Tina popped up to see Mandy at the salon and was in a celebratory mood after having her ankle tag removed.
She also took the opportunity to get to know Vinny better, quizzing him about his relationship with Gabby Thomas and his potentially lucrative connections at Home Farm.
Once they were alone, Mandy desperately tried to convince Tina to leave the village for good.

Tina snapped: "You don't get to tell me where I can and can't go, especially now I've got interests round here."
Mandy reiterated that Tina isn't included in Zak's will and couldn't expect to take a share of the house, but Tina replied: "Prove it. It belongs to family. And I'm family. And who says we're just talking about the house?
"I've come for everything that's mine. Vinny is such a sweet boy. Do you know, it makes me sad, thinking about everything I've missed out on. What's mine is mine. My house. My son."
