Emmerdale spoilers: Mandy stalked as she plans to flee the village with son Vinny – and Lydia’s £10k

MANDY Dingle's shady past finally looks like it’s about to catch up with her and her son Vinny in Emmerdale next week.

As Mandy – returning actress Lisa Riley - and Vinny’s plan to steal money from Lydia Hart comes to fruition, they panic when the solicitor announces he’s coming over to Wishing Well cottage to sort the money.

And it’s not long before a suspicious Lydia realises that something’s going on causing Mandy to become dead-set on her and Vinny fleeing.

But as the pair talk about their plans, it becomes clear that a stranger is watching them from afar.

Lydia was recently left £10k by a mystery benefactor which Mandy decided she would claim for herself.

But Emmerdale viewers have spotted a major blunder after Lydia Hart was revealed to have inherited £10,000.

The cleaner - who is played by actress Karen Blick in ITV soap - was visited by an heir hunter tonight - but Mandy pretended to be her to claim the money herself.

However, fans realised that is doomed to failure as Lydia isn't actually called Lydia Hart.

In a major storyline earlier this year it was revealed Lydia is actually a woman called Jenny Finn.

She had taken her identity to escape her past as a teenage mother who went through the trauma of having to bury her own stillborn daughter.

There was huge press coverage of Lydia's deceit after her baby's body was found.

That means the heir hunter cannot be looking for Lydia who was Jenny as she never legally changed her name.

The heir hunter told Lydia: "You Lydia Hart have been gifted the grand total of £10,000.

"Subject to the usual identification verification. Anything will do, passport, driving licence whatever you can get your hands on."

Fans immediately spotted the problem with that and took to Twitter.

One wrote: "We're supposed to believe that Lydia 'Jenny Finn' Hart... who had no family to speak of was gifted £10K???
Really #Emmerdale?"
An unimpressed second said: "I can’t stand Mandy. It would have been better to give a decent storyline to some of the existing cast members without taking back a completely pointless character and her hapless son. Ridiculous storyline for a ridiculous character. #emmerdale."
