Emmerdale spoilers! Has Paul KILLED Vinny?

Has Paul killed Vinny in Emmerdale

Emmerdale's Vinny is left fighting for his life after a vicious beating from his dad, Paul.

Emmerdale favourite Vinny is in a bad way in the second of Thursday's episodes on ITV from 8pm (see our TV Guide for full listings).

Poor Vinny has been left battered and bruised after confronting Paul about his lies over his kidnapping.

Vinny worked out that Paul had faked his own kidnapping in a bid to get his hands on Liv's life savings, and he confronted his dad about his sinister games.

But when Vinny told Paul that he was going to find Mandy and tell her everything, unhinged Paul lashed out and beat his son to a pulp.

With Vinny now lying unconscious on the ground at the scrap yard, Paul panics he has just killed his boy. Will Vinny live to tell the tale?

If he does survive will Paul convince him to keep his beating under wraps once again or are Paul's lies about to be exposed?
