Emmerdale: Nicky hid his sexuality from Caleb
Last night, Caleb questioned Nicky on his whereabouts during the night as he wasn’t with Gabby. Nicky had spent the night with Ally, however Caleb accused Nicky of sleeping with another woman.
Nicky assured Caleb that he wasn’t with any other woman making Caleb wonder why he wouldn’t want to spend the night with Gabby, suggesting that she’s an attractive woman.
Feeling controlled, Nicky explained that he didn’t know how much longer he could keep the act up, wanting to end things with Gabby. Caleb was furious and told him that he needed to carry on with the plan.
Nicky told Caleb that he wasn’t considering how he felt and what was best for him. However, Gabby soon arrived back home early, forcing Nicky to play happy families once more.
Emmerdale fans make a huge U-Turn over Nicky
After seeing Nicky hide his sexuality from Caleb and continue to be controlled by him, fans have gone from disliking Nicky to now feeling sorry for him.
One fan wrote: I feel so [bleep] sorry for Nicky [bleep ]. Why is Caleb so horrible to him [bleep]?”
Another commented: “Honestly, the more this storyline unravels, the more I’m noticing that Nicky is a victim. He is being emotionally manipulated by his ‘Dad’ and being forced to do/ be someone he isn’t, just so his ‘Dad’ benefits.”
