Emmerdale viewers believe Nicky's behaviour is a part of a plan to blackmail Gabby.
His recent behaviour has been branded as suspicious by viewers who think he's been playing it too sweet with the village residents. After Gabby made a drunken move on him, he reassured her no one would find out and said that he was ultimately flattered by her actions.
Nicky's overly friendly behaviour in tonight's episode was again flagged by viewers with some suggesting he may have an ulterior motive for remaining on Gabby's good side.
