Emmerdale star Lewis Cope has teased further drama ahead in the dales over the coming days, after Home Farm nanny Nicky backed out of a plan to marry Gabby Thomas amid an ongoing con to swindle Kim Tate out of millions.
On Tuesday night’s episode, Nicky and Gabby looked all set to tie the knot as part of Nicky's scheme to swindle Kim out of her fortune, however things soon took a dramatic turn when Gabby shared her desire for Nicky to adopt her young son Thomas.
Clearly shaken by the depth of the ongoing lie, Nicky finally admitted to his bride to be that he couldn’t marry her before blurting out the truth that he was gay.
The sham marriage had initially been an integral part of Nicky’s dad Caleb’s master plan to get close to Kim and Home Farm, where Gabby currently lives as she is the mother of Kim’s grandson.
The idea had been to infiltrate Home Farm so that Caleb and Nicky could gain access to Kim’s bank account and take back the fortune they believe she stole from Caleb’s dad, the late Frank Tate.
Nicky’s new display of honesty now looks set to cause chaos for the father-son duo, with Lewis even hinting that he and Caleb will come to blows in the fallout from the revelation.
Speaking to The Mirror at this year’s British Soap Awards, Lewis told the publication: "From day one, he's been dragged along by his father. He's always just gone along with it and this gets to the point where it gets super serious and he has to marry someone he doesn't want to be with.”
Referring to the scenes which aired on Tuesday, it’s safe to say that Gabby was left gobsmacked by the news with the episode’s dramatic conclusion giving little away about how exactly the jilted bride will react.
Lewis however teased it isn’t Gabby’s reaction Nicky needs to fear, but his father’s as he added: "At the last hurdle, in Nicky's dad's eyes, he absolutely falls and crumbles and shatters the plan. So that is going to take a lot for Caleb to get over.”
The star even admitted Caleb won’t “take kindly” to the news, with many fans worried about Nicky’s safety given Caleb’s previous threat to “destroy him” if he backed out of the plan.
While the extent of Caleb’s financial woes are currently unknown, as regular viewers will know, Caleb had been hoping to fix all his money problems by claiming Kim’s fortune.
Selling himself as a businessman to Kim and his brother Cain Dingle, so far Kim has remained none the wiser to his scheme.
But with Nicky’s secret now out in the open, how long will it be before the rest of Caleb’s plan unravels?
Emmerdale continues weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV and ITVX.
