Gabby makes a confession to agonised Nicola in Emmerdale which changes everything

Gabby’s been through an awful lot (Picture: ITV) Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) makes a confession to Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) in Emmerdale next week, which changes the way the grieving widow views her niece. Nicola and Gabby’s relationship fell apart once she discovered the truth about what happened prior to Jimmy King’s (Nick Miles) crash. Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) was video calling Gabby while driving his car. She was ranting about how Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) had dumped her, and Vinny was trying to be supportive. Because he was so focused on his phone, Vinny didn’t realise that his car was moving across the road. This forced Jimmy to swerve to avoid hitting him, causing his vehicle to smash into a wedding marquee. While Gabby isn’t directly to blame for Jimmy and Dawn Taylor’s (Olivia Bromley) deaths, she was well aware that Vinny was driving while he was on the phone to her. She made no effort to end the call or encourage Vinny to pull over, and instead focused on how sad she was that another man wasn’t interested in her.
