There was a tease of an Emmerdale reunion for Vanity, as Charity Dingle and Vanessa Woodfield shared a kiss on the ITV soap on Thursday night. But what happens next, and do the pair get back together?
Viewers won’t know until Friday’s episode what happens after the pair gave into passion, years on from their split. But the soap has teased “more drama” will definitely be on the way, while remaining coy over what they mean and what it is linked to.
It seems to be linked to Charity and Vanessa as it was revealed in a press release linked to the kiss on Thursday. It comes as Charity finds out she’s pregnant next week, amid her agreeing to be a surrogate for her granddaughter Sarah Sugden.

When Charity feared the embryo hadn’t taken after experiencing bleeding this week, after the transfer procedure recently, she confided in Vanessa. Feeling that she couldn’t be around her husband Mackenzie Boyd or Sarah, she hit the bottle and ended up at Vanessa’s home.
As they opened up, Vanessa tried her best to comfort a distraught Charity who was blaming herself. As Vanessa sat down beside her on the sofa, Charity refused to leave after she suggested helping her home.
Charity told her she wasn’t ready to go home, and didn’t want to be around her household so Vanessa said she could stay. But when she offered to make up a bed for her, Charity made her intentions clear.
Declining the offer of the spare room, or Tracy’s room in tis case, she said she wouldn’t go in there unless Vanessa stayed with her “to keep her company”. Vanessa was taken aback but before she could say anything Charity leaned in and kissed her.

Vanessa appeared to kiss her back, with the soap teasing “it looked as if their old spark was still burning bright”. The episode ended there before we could see what happened next and how Vanessa responded.
But a teaser for the fallout released by the soap in a press release read: “Stay watching as more drama is set to unfold.” So what is this in reference to, and could there be more Vanity drama on the way?
With Charity featuring in more scenes next week, spoilers have not suggested a split for her and Mack or anymore scenes with Vanessa. But with it being so top secret, perhaps spoilers have been left out on purpose. Fans will just have to wait and see where the kiss leads.
