Emmerdale star breaks silence on Vinny and Kammy twist and confirms ‘exciting’ aftermath
Emmerdale’s Shebz Miah has opened up about a recent twist in the ITV soap involving his character, Kammy Hadiq.
Last week, Kammy and new friend Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) decided to get revenge on a delivery driver. He had arrived outside The Hide and started attempting to flirt with Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham). Vinny told the young man that he’s engaged to Gabby, but Romeo responded with a comment that made Vinny feel insecure.
Vinny and Kammy got revenge by stealing Romeo’s van and dumping it down a road. As they were chased by the police into the woods, Vinny laughed at the thrill over doing something very unlike him.
As the two mates hung out afterwards, Vinny got caught up in a moment and tried to kiss Kammy. It left the latter confused, while Vinny tried to say it was just a joke.
Opening up about this new storyline, star Shebz Miah has revealed there’s a lot more to come between his character and Vinny.
‘Kammy realises that there’s a bigger issue at hand for Vinny, because he’s been going to such extreme lengths to impress for his anniversary with Gabby, but on the other hand, he’s misread the signals and has tried to kiss Kammy. So Kammy does support Vinny on this journey that they go on – and it does get quite exciting’, the actor told Digital Spy.
‘Kammy’s so relaxed with it. He’s so comfortable with himself that it doesn’t affect him. The only thing that does affect him is: “You are getting married to Gabs. You need to understand the situation”. So Kammy isn’t bothered about the kiss, he more feels for Vinny. Because now it’s opened up this different perspective on the relationship that Vinny has with people.
‘Kammy’s trying to support him on his journey. He’s trying to understand and make it easier for Vinny and help him and guide him as to what is going on, because he is obviously in a position where he’s not entirely sure.’
Shebz has confirmed that there isn’t an awkward vibe between the two mates, due to the fact Kammy wants to be there for Vinny on this journey.
‘Kammy’s so relaxed. Kammy’s so confident in his sexuality. It’s more that he wants to offer a helping hand, because it’s a very tricky situation now that Vinny’s in.
‘We’ve got Gabs on one hand, then all the other stuff in Vinny’s life and how does it affect that? So it’s more about Kammy trying to support him on whatever that is.’
Teasing what’s ahead for the character, Shebz added: ‘Unpredictability – definitely with a lot of the things happening in scenes with Vinny. But also, as we know, Kammy and Sarah were a thing and we start to see an interesting dynamic being played out.
‘There’s thrills and a lot of cheekiness, definitely. He loves getting up to mischief and trouble.’
