Nicola and Jimmy King (Nicola Wheeler and Nick Miles) have been through a lot together in Emmerdale over the years, but there’s more heartache ahead for the pair, as their relationship struggles somewhat during the lockdown period.
In typical Nicola and Jimmy fashion, the pair are getting on one another’s nerves during lockdown.
Nicola spends her time focusing on her local council business, but it soon becomes apparent that something is bothering her.
She’s evidently upset, and Jimmy becomes aware of this, but he’s at a loss over what to do.
Throughout the instalment, Nicola reveals that her life is dull and boring, and that every other villager is living a better, more exciting life than she is.
Speaking about Nicola’s realisation, actress Nicola Wheeler said: ‘I think Nicola is doing a little bit of life assessment.
‘When every day is the same you start looking at your life and there’s a scene in the episode where she says “when lookdown ends and everything goes back to normal, I’m going to be still doing the same thing”.
‘I think what’s become apparent for her is that nothing’s changed much apart from not being able to go out.
‘She’s reevaluating her life and what she’s doing. She starts to get a bit sad as she realises she has nothing much to look forward to once lockdown ends.
Nicola’s realisation weighs on Jimmy, and therefore he is forced to face reality, but will Nicola open up to her husband?
What will this mean for their relationship moving forward?
Nicola reckons it could spell trouble. She said: ‘It seems like she’s bored with their relationship but there could be a lot more to it than that.’
Meanwhile, actor Nick speculated that Jimmy believes his marriage could be on the rocks.
He said: ‘That definitely occurs to him during the drama.
‘There’s a strain because there is something wrong and he doesn’t know what it is, he can’t get at it and when your partner isn’t being straight with you, we all know that can be a very challenging problem.’
