Emmerdale exit 'sealed' as character betrayed and blamed for violent crime

Emmerdale is hinting at an exit for newcomer Naomi Walters next week, with spoilers teasing she could be sent to prison.

The character believes her fate is sealed as she looks set to be framed for a violent crime, involving another village resident.

There's court scenes ahead, as Nicola King could finally get justice over the disgusting attack on her earlier this year.

After an altercation with a group of girls on a night out, Nicola was brutally attacked and left bleeding and barely conscious on the ground.

Charles Anderson's daughter Naomi was revealed to have been at the scene of the attack shortly after it happened, when Nicola recognised her voice and her trainers.

Naomi eventually told the police everything and revealed who the attackers were, and now the five of them face court.

Nicola's attackers, or at least four of them, make their return as they appear in court over their crime - joined by Naomi.

But they soon play dirty in a bid to stay out of jail, trying to set Naomi up as the main attacker, and the only person there.

Despite Nicola having been there, obviously, there was no proof asides Naomi's testimony that Saskia and the other girls were there.

Saskia soon threatens her former pal, and as she takes to the stand it's clear the main attacker is trying to frame Naomi.

As Nicola fears she won't get justice, Naomi is sure there's trouble ahead and that she might end up going down for a crime she didn’t commit.

With the girls refusing to reveal the truth, it all gets too much for Naomi as she takes to the stand and reveals Saskia has been threatening her.

This results in Saskia losing her cool and showing her true colours, but will the jury believe she was the one who hurt Nicola?

As the week comes to a close ahead of a verdict, Naomi's brother Ethan and her father Charles try to encourage her that everything will be fine, and justice will be found.

But she has already resigned herself to the possibility of going to prison, believing this will be the case - so is an exit on the cards for the character?
