Nicky proposed to Gabby

Last night, Nicky and Gabby entered the Hide and decided to tell Kim about their relationship. Bernice and Laurel were over the moon to hear the news but Kim couldn’t believe what she was hearing and handed Nicky the termination papers for breaching his contract.

Nicky wanted to prove his love to Gabby and quickly got down on one knee, proposing to her. Gabby was thrilled and accepted his proposal, especially to spite Kim. Kim begged Gabby to reconsider but Gabby made it clear that she was going ahead with the engagement.

Afterwards, Nicky asked Gabby whether she only accepted his proposal to get one up on Kim. Gabby admitted that that had played a part in things but she would have accepted the proposal out of love anyway. Nicky and Gabby then reconfirmed their engagement as Nicky expressed how much giving Gabby his mum’s ring meant to him.

Emmerdale fans think Nicky is a con artist

Emmerdale fans are seeing through Nicky’s Mr Nice Guy exterior after he proposed to Gabby, and now they’re adamant that Nicky is a con artist. They think that he has an ulterior motive for worming his way into Home Farm, especially after only being with Gabby for a few weeks before getting down on one knee.

One fan wrote: “I dunno, there’s something about Nicky that I’m still not sold on. It was very spontaneous to propose to Gabby after being together for such a short time. And he said to Kim ‘I love her more than your son ever did, how would he know about Jamie? (Unless Gabby said so)”

Another fan thought that Nicky had a plan with his proposal to Gabby being the next step of this, commenting: “Nicky must have a reason for proposing to Gabby. He obviously has to move things along for some part of a plan.”

A third person agreed with this view, thinking that Nicky has an ulterior motive for the engagement, stating: “I still don’t trust Nicky! Him and Gabby have been together for 5 minutes and he’s already proposing to her.”
