Eagle-eyed Emmerdale fans spotted an error in the storyline – but did you notice it?[/caption]
The scrap yard dealer had previously arranged to be kidnapped so that his wife-to-be Mandy felt sorry for him.
He let slip that he was sitting in a chair for the duration of the kidnap and Vinnie started to realise that things didn’t add up.
On Thursday night the duo were about to hit the town for Paul’s stag do when Vinnie brought up the fact that none of the stuff he had told them made any sense.
Paul had to rush back to the scrap yard to make some calls and was followed by Vinnie, who confronted him about it all.

It came to light that Paul had lied about the whole thing and that he’d also been gambling again behind Vinnie and Mandy’s backs.
Paul has lashed out on his son in the past and his angry side came out AGAIN after he was outed for his actions.
An angry Paul shouted at Vinnie: “When I did something wrong my dad would let me know I’d done something wrong.
“Yeah? I learnt my lessons pretty quickly. You’re a slow learner Vinnie…”

Vinnie pleaded: “I’m sorry.”
Just before he started to brutally beat up his son, Paul shouted: “But this is a lesson you will never forget.”
When Vinnie was rushed to hospital, Paul told the nurses that the person who hurt him was a random man out in town.
But many fans of the hit show pointed out a flaw with his cover-up.
