Emmerdale has seemingly aired a cryptic clue to the identity of Nicky - and his link to a past character.
During Tuesday's episode on the ITV soap, Kim Tate discussed what her, Gabby and Dawn should do about Nicky now that his probation has ended. Not knowing about Gabby's secret romance with Kim, she asked the pair whether they should keep him on.
Kim and Dawn were keen to keep him on but Gabby was less sure about it, and said Nicky had to use his initiative more, but she was only saying this to throw them off the scent that the pair were closer than ever.
