Sandra wants Liv’s cash
We know that Sandra is trying to split Liv and Vinny up as part of a plan to get her hands on Liv’s money.
Liv was left the cash by dad, Gordon, and used it to buy her house.
Sandra reckons that with Vinny out of the way and away from her adopted Dingle family, she’ll have a better chance of nabbing the money.

Things are later awkward when Liv spots Gabby and Vinny together.
Liv’s booze hell
However, wily Liv realises that her mum’s meddling has something to do with this awkward situation.
She calls her out on it, and although Sandra continues to pretend her actions are all out of concern for Liv, she knows she needs to take another tack.
This time, she decides to use Liv’s alcohol problem.
When they are out, Sandra sneakily swaps the drinks they’re having so Liv gets the one with alcohol in it.
