Emmerdale: Angelica made a confession to Nicola

In the first Emmerdale episode of the New Year, Cathy, Heath and Angelica went joyriding in Wendy’s car.

Sadly, the teens crashed leading to Heath’s death. Wendy had attempted to save him but nothing could be done.

After the crash, Cathy was blamed for the accident. April had seen Cathy head off in the driver’s seat, making Bob believe that Cathy was responsible.

Angelica backed up this theory by telling the police that it was Cathy who was driving.

However, yesterday, Angelica revealed that she was lying all along. She crumbled into Nicola’s arms and told her that she had been the one driving.

Emmerdale fans predict Nicola’s next move in Heath death aftermath

Nicola was quick to condemn Cathy when she thought that she was the driver. However, she now knows that Cathy was telling the truth.

With Angelica the true killer, viewers think that Nicola will help her daughter cover up her tracks and get away with her crimes.

One Emmerdale viewer typed: “Angelica has finally admitted to Nicola it was her driving that killed Heath but I bet you she’s gonna keep it quiet to protect her daughter.”

Another person said: “Yeah, can’t ever see morally righteous Nicola coming forward anytime soon with the truth about the car crash.”

A third viewer asked: “Does anyone else think Nicola will cover for Angel?”
