Emmerdale fans hit out at writers as character's exit from village leaves Nicky heartbroken

Emmerdale’s Nicky was left heartbroken as his dad Caleb forced him to break up with Ally so their plan to steal Kim’s money wouldn't be ruined.

Last night Nicky finally came out to his dad and viewers were shocked when Caleb insisted that he would support him. In a shocking twist, Caleb said that he still had to go ahead with marrying Gabby and as Nicky tried to abandon the plan Caleb threatened to “destroy” him if he backed out.

During tonight’s episode of the ITV hit soap Nicky was forced to go along with his dad’s plan. Nicky has been tasked with marrying Gabby, the mother of Kim’s grandson Thomas, in the hopes of securing every last penny of her fortune.

Gabby was keen to get things planned for the wedding but Nicky appeared to be unhappy because he was having to keep stringing Gabby along for her money

When Nicky left the room, Gabby confided in Caleb that she thought her 'fiancé' was missing his mum, who Nicky had lied was dead as part of his fake identity. Caleb was worried that Gabby would catch on to their plan so he decided to have a chat with Nicky and asked him if he was going to help him in his scheme.

Nicky was left fuming when his dad urged him to end things with Ally. Although reluctant, Nicky went ahead and told Ally it was over. Ally could tell Nicky wasn't being sincere, but after explaining how complicated things were with his dad, Nicky firmly told him he meant what he said.

A furious Ally fled the village and it is unknown if he will be back soon, or if this is the end for the character. @SARamsay1 tweeted: “I'm disappointed that Nicky is choosing to go with the lie! The truth will come out at some time anyway #emmerdale.”

@itzzzo_ said: “Yeah Ally, I agree, Nicky should go to Caleb "I'm going to live my life, so f*** you!" #Emmerdale.” @skunkadamski commented: “Nicky better double cross Caleb and get back with Ally! #Emmerdale.”

While @OrvilleLloyd added: “#emmerdale That's disappointing Nicky dumped Ally due to Caleb pressure. Caleb is homophobic he wants gay son to marry a woman. The dad claims he is understanding. Yet Caleb knows Nicky isn't happy with Gaby. I hope Ally comes back to show he has good chemistry with Nicky.”
