Emmerdale’s Nicola chilled to the bone by shock discovery at Jimmy’s grave

Nicola faces further torment (Picture: ITV) Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) is working so hard to adapt to life without Jimmy King (Nick Miles) in Emmerdale, the last thing she needs is someone plotting to cause trouble for her. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what she’s going to get. Jimmy died earlier this year after crashing his car into Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) and Dawn Taylor’s (Olivia Bromley) wedding marquee. It was revealed that Jimmy only smashed into the tent because he had to avoid hitting a distracted Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson), who was on his phone while driving his car. As a result of a guilty Vinny confessing to causing the crash that killed Jimmy and eventually Dawn, he went to prison. Nicola has, understandably, struggled a great deal in the aftermath of Jimmy’s death. Just recently, she opened up to Kev Barton (Chris Coghill) about how she’s finding it difficult to sleep because she misses hearing the sound of Jimmy’s snoring. Kev has supported Nicola a great deal (Picture: ITV) Jimmy died earlier this year following a car crash (Picture: ITV/Metro) Kev suggested that Nicola spent the night in his bed, pointing out that a change of scenery might actually help her brain. Touched by how kind Kev was being, Nicola headed upstairs, but appeared a while later to tell Kev that she couldn’t switch her mind off. When Nicola entered the living room, she found Kev on the sofa snoring. She smiled, and then laid on the floor beside him. She takes each day as they come at the moment but, despite it feeling like a difficult uphill battle, Nicola is healing.
