Yahoo News Exclusive: Emmerdale star Lisa Riley on unresolved Tom secret
Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale star Lisa Riley has spoken to Digital Spy about the big Tom King secret which has yet to be exposed.
The popular cast member hinted that her character Mandy Dingle could go out for revenge when she finds out about Tom nearly killing her son Vinny earlier this year.
Back in April, Tom hit Vinny over the head with a paperweight at the scrapyard as he tried to avoid being caught snooping.
Tom wiped his fingerprints from the scene and left Vinny for dead. When Vinny later recovered in hospital, he struggled to remember the exact details and was unable to identify who'd attacked him.

While many of Tom's crimes have now been exposed, the Vinny storyline hasn't been mentioned again so far.
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy at the Inside Soap Awards this week, Lisa reflected on how Mandy still doesn't know the truth about who targeted her beloved son.
She teased: "That will probably get revealed in the future! Mandy's cricket bat is very much in her life.
"Whether or not she hits him is a different story, we'll have to wait and see."

Discussing the fan reaction to Tom's abuse of his wife Belle, Lisa added: "Everywhere we go, people want him dead! I'm at the supermarket and they're like: 'When's he going to die?' Which is quite fierce, the vitriol for him! But that proves he's doing the part correctly."
Lisa was speaking to Digital Spy following the big news that the Dingles had won the Best Family prize at the Inside Soap Awards.
Although the clan are often favourites for the gong, Lisa responded to the win by telling us: "It's amazing – it's not a cliché. We're so proud of our surname. We never take it for granted when people say 'you'll win!'"
She laughed: "We can't put it in the house though, it's too posh for our house!"
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
