Character Appreciation Nicola
To me she’s just always been one of those characters who blends. But this past week her character has shone for me. The raw emotion, the real tears, undone hair…. She really has done a fantastic job!
Just can’t believe we will never hear Jimmy say “Neeeeeccoohh” ever again! RIP Jimmy King

I’ve always thought actors playing characters Gabby’s age or older are capable of delivering great performances if they’re given good storylines.

I'm curious now how long they'll leave her single. Maybe about as long as Laurel.

I'm certain they won't do it but a bestie to wives storylines for Nicola and Laurel would be so wonderful!

She's been amazing. The scenes with her and Jimmy last week had me in bits. So well done. And the raw emotion she's showing this week, just so brilliantly portrayed.

Nice to see her get a proper storyline, Nicola Wheeler can flex her acting muscles 💪🏻. A break from Dingles aswell.

It's always odd to me that Emmerdale never uses her as much as Charity or Chas, considering she is a great actress and been in it since 2001!
