Emmerdale writers offered thanks by fans over Mandy and Paddy wedding episode

Grateful fans of Emmerdale have thanked the soap’s writers for its joyful Mandy Dingle and Paddy Kirk wedding episode last night.

Viewers tuned in as Mandy and Paddy successfully tied the knot in spite of his dad Bear’s meddling – outing her as a financial dominatrix to a baffled Paddy.

Paddy and Mandy’s happily ever after was in doubt for a while… as it appeared as though Paddy had called the whole thing off.

Well, it wouldn’t be a Dingle wedding without a little drama on the day!

Mandy rushed over to see her husband-to-be, who was surprisingly accepting of her side-hustle. It was the lies which proved to be the sticking point.

Following a sweet heart-to-heart, the pair managed to work things out, and the wedding was back on!

After rushing back to the church and talking Charles around, the pair were married in a joyful (if super speedy) counterpoint to the misery and upset surrounding them.
