Emmerdale fans have wondered if they have spotted a potential new romance after Gabby Thomas was comforted by a pal following their sudden return to screens. As viewers of the ITV soap know, Gabby has been left heartbroken after she was jilted on her wedding day by Nicky.
Unbeknownst to her, Nicky, who was hired as Home Farm's nanny last year, had no interest in her from the start and was just pretending to love her in order to help his dad Caleb Milligan with his plan to bring down Kim Tate after revealing her later ex-husband Franke Tate was his father.
When Caleb was finally caught out by Kim and confronted him with the help of his half-brother Cain Dingle, Nicky was confessing everything to Gabby about what he and his dad had been up to. It came after Nicky told her he couldn't go through with the wedding because he was gay.
