Inside the church, Vinny tries to read out his eulogy but struggles and ends up running off.
Speaking about why Vinny remains in denial about Paul’s abuse, Emmerdale star Bradley Johnson told Digital Spy: “Vinny’s reaction is one of confusion. He has had a year of this physical and mental abuse. He has ruined his relationship with Liv and I think he’s now lost himself completely.
“Vinny is finding it hard to comprehend how to deal with this situation. He is a broken man at the moment, with complete confusion over what to do next.
“People want to forget that it’s happened. They want to forget the bad things and just remember the good.
“Vinny is very much like that, as he has given his dad countless chances. Even after everything Paul has done, he just wants to forget all of that negative stuff and see his dad in a good light.”
