Of course, that didn’t stop fans from commenting about the reports and hoping that they aren’t correct.
“I’m seriously Annoyed if the rumours are true that @emmerdale are getting rid of vinnys [sic] character”, wrote one fan, while another said: “Please keep Vinny in Emmerdale.”
“Please don’t let him leave”, begged a third.
Emmerdale hasn’t commented on the reports of Johnson’s exit, as the soap does not tend to comment on cast contracts.
Since joining the village, Vinny has dealt with his estranged father Paul with the help of Liv, who he eventually married before her shocking death.
He later married Gabby Thomas, but by that point he had started to doubt his own sexuality, and was blackmailed by an online con artist.
Vinny eventually found the courage to come out, thanks in part to the support from his close friend Kammy Hadiq, and has slowly been embarking on a relationship with Lewis Barton in the last few months.
Given Vinny’s popularity and all the storylines that he’s been given over the year, could he really be facing the axe? A certain upcoming plot will definitely see a rift form in his relationship…
