Emmerdale airs news about Aaron Dingle on the ITV soap next week, that leads to Vinny Dingle worrying about girlfriend Liv Flaherty.
Liv has been in prison for the murder of Ben Tucker, but the villagers now know it was serial killer Meena Jutla behind the crime.
Vinny has been trying to prove her innocence for weeks, almost getting himself killed by Meena as she realised he was on to her.
He has got nowhere though with the only witness to Meena's actual murder confession being her sister Manpreet Sharma, who remains in a coma after a car accident.
Spoilers reveal Manpreet wakes up next week, but Vinny's hopes for Liv's quick release are thwarted.
DS Rogers asks Manpreet to recount specific details that Meena told her about her victims and their deaths.
Significantly, it's Ben's murder they are referring to as Liv remains charged with the crime.
It would appear Manpreet fails to recall the necessary details though, as Vinny is soon left disappointed.
DS Rogers informs him that there is no concrete evidence to prove that Liv is innocent, and that Meena killed Ben.
He finds out she is therefore not going to be released, leading to Vinny taking action.
Visiting Manpreet at the hospital, he asks her to lie to he police about what Meena told her - and soon there's some news.
Liv informs Vinny a court hearing has been requested due to some new evidence - has Manpreet lied to the police?
When Liv asks Vinny to tell her brother Aaron the good news, he agrees to but is soon left panicked.
Aaron fled the village after boyfriend Ben's death, saying he could not look out for alcoholic Liv anymore amid her murder charge.
He has not returned, with actor Danny Miller quitting the ITV soap, but Liv hopes her update will bring him back.
So when Chas tells them Aaron isn’t coming, Vinny worries his absence will set off Liv's drinking again.
As the day of the hearing arrives, Liv packs to go home and believes Aaron will be there.
Vinny doesn't want to burst her bubble so lies that Aaron is on his way - but how will Liv react when she learns the truth?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm. on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
