Emmerdale fans have been left in tears, after tonight's emotional ending. During this evening's episode, Arthur continued to battle with a secret, that was causing him to lash out.
Clearly in emotional distress, Arthur took his angst out on Jimmy and April. One person who overheard his attack on April - in which he shouted at her to "find someone her own age" if she was "so desperate for a boyfriend" - was Nicola.
Having dealt with her own pent-up trauma following her vicious gang attack, Nicola knew immediately that something was bothering Arthur. While he was at her house, visiting his friend, Elliot, Nicola pulled Arthur aside and told him that she was there for him if he wanted to talk.
