In tonight episodes of Emmerdale (Thursday, September 23) Gabby Thomas gave Jamie Tate a now-or-never ultimatum and wanted them to elope.
Gabby is pregnant with Jamie Tate’s son after they had a one night stand earlier this year.
She planned for them marry for financial reasons and so they could take over Home Farm.
However it became clear that she was hoping that Jamie would fall for her.
But why is Gabby so desperate to be with Jamie? This is what Entertainment Daily writer Charlotte Rodrigues thinks.
Emmerdale: ‘Gabby needs to focus on her baby – not marrying a man who doesn’t love her’
Gabby is only 19 years old, still a teenager and it’s very clear she is not mature enough to have a child.
This isn’t me saying this because of her age, as there are many teen parents who do an excellent job, however it’s very clear she’s not in this for the right reasons.
This week, Gabby was determined for her and Jamie to marry for financial gain. However it’s clear she was hoping he would fall for her and that they could be a happy family.

The fact she thinks that that’s how love works goes to show she does have a lot of issues. It’s not necessarily her fault though.
As fans know Gabby’s mum Bernice was in and out of her life, and her father Ashley was on and off with her stepmother Laurel for years.
While I’m not psychologist, it’s not hard to imagine why Gabby has a bit of a warped idea of what love really is.
She needs to be focused more on her child than Jamie, otherwise the poor kid doesn’t stand a chance.
