ITV Emmerdale fans slam ‘vile’ Nicola King’s mistake as she resorts to desperate measures
Emmerdale viewers were horrified on Tuesday night's episode as Nicola King resorted to desperate measures amid her daughter Angelica's bombshell
Emmerdale fans were quick to slam “vile” Nicola King’s mistake on Tuesday night.
Only recently, Nicola has been struggling after her daughter Angelica confessed that she was the one driving the car when Heath Hope died during the New Year’s car crash horror. Last week, protective parents Nicola and Jimmy prepared for Angelica’s court hearing.
On Thursday night, Nicola and Jimmy learnt that the charges against Cathy Hope, who was also involved in the crash, had been dropped on their way to court. However, the same couldn’t be said for Angelica as her charges were not dropped and after pleading guilty she faces a custodial sentence, where she could be detained for at least a few years.
During Tuesday’s episode, a desperate Nicola, who has been left anxious by mention of a home visit from the Youth Justice Service, decided to visit vicar Charles Anderson in the hope he would write a character witness for Angelica. However, Nicola was shocked when Charles refused to give a character reference for Angelica, pointing out he barely knows her and she hasn’t helped in the church.
Resorting to desperate measures, Nicola decided to bring up her past with Charles’ daughter, Naomi, pointing out that he “owes” her, which left the vicar horrified. Soap watchers will recall that Naomi was part of a girl gang who attacked Nicola back in 2022. However, Naomi helped bring the gang to justice.
Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were quick to call out Nicola for bringing up Naomi. One person said: “#emmerdale Nicola has some nerve. Ur daughter killed someone, and charles doesnt know her from Adam! What so u want him to lie??”, a different account put: “Nicola is really clutching at straws. #Emmerdale” while another added: “Nicola is vile #Emmerdale.”
Elsewhere, one soap watcher put: “Charles owes you nothing Nicola what happened to was horrible and what Naomi was apart of in your attack had nothing to do with Charles she has never met Charles before that attack #emmerdale”, another wrote: “Time for desperate measures…then when you don’t get your own way start screaming and shouting… Then if that fails… Try blackmail. Such a lovely woman Nicola …not! #emmerdale” while a different viewer added: “Is Nicola really scraping that low?? #Emmerdale.”
