Can Nicky be trusted?

Emmerdale: Who is Nicky?

Nicky is the nanny at Home Farm who Gabby has her eye on.

She has been trying all she can to bed him, but so far he has resisted crossing the line and sleeping with his boss.

When she suggested she sack him so they could have some fun, then rehire him, it became too much and he quit.

However, he quickly changed his mind and came back, kissing Gabby.

After they shared a passionate encounter on the sofa, they agreed he could keep working for her, but they’d keep their relationship a secret from Kim and everyone else at Home Farm.

However, fans are convinced there’s something dodgy about Nicky.

Here are all the theories.

1. Nicky is working for Jamie Tate in Emmerdale

One popular theory among fans is that Nicky is secretly working for Kim’s son Jamie Tate.

Jamie is the father of Gabby’s son, Thomas. Gabby and Thomas both live at Home Farm with Kim.

Before Thomas was born, Jamie faked his own death, wanting to get away from Gabby and his mother.

However Kim and Gabby both know that he is still alive.

Some fans believe that Jamie could have hired Nicky to get in at Home Farm to keep an eye on Thomas or even take him.

2. Nicky is connected to Joe Tate

Another theory is that Nicky has a connection to Joe Tate.

Joe is the step-grandson of Kim Tate.

He fled the village in 2018 as Kim ordered Graham Foster to kill Joe. However Graham was close to Joe and couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Graham planned to help Joe get away but after Joe was punched by Cain Dingle, it looked like he was dead.

Graham was later seen crying after taking Joe in the boot of his car.

For months viewers wondered if Joe had died, but it was eventually revealed Joe was alive and living abroad, trying to keep away from Kim.

3. Nicky is related to Lucas and Clemmie’s dad, Alex

Some fans believe that Nicky could be related to Dawn’s ex-boyfriend.

Alex is the biological father of Lucas and Clemmie. Lucas is Dawn’s son, but she is currently fostering Clemmie, whose mother, Beth, died last year.

Recently he tried to get money out of Dawn by threatening to go for custody of his children.

However Kim and Dawn’s dad Will had Alex tied up and warned him to keep away from Dawn and the kids.

Could Nicky be here to help Alex get revenge?

4. Nicky working with Caleb in Emmerdale?

Another newcomer to the Dales around the same time as Nicky, Caleb Miligan is also hiding a secret.

He’s playing Mr Nice Guy, just like Nicky, but making secret phone calls about his plot to destroy someone – or multiple someones.

But who?

Fans are sure there’s a connection to Nicky and the pair are working together.

One viewer commented: “There’s something dodgy about [Nicky] and that Caleb.”

Another asked: “Are Caleb and Nicky working together?”

“Nicky is Caleb’s kid,” said someone else

Another added: “JUST A THEORY: I’m starting to think that Nicky the nanny at Home Farm may actually be Caleb’s son.”

5. Is he Lydia’s long-lost son?

Lydia had a son when she was fifteen.

She had grown up in a children’s home and had kept her pregnancy a secret, fearing that she would be forced to give her baby up.

When she gave birth to a stillborn boy in the bathroom alone and had laid her baby to rest secretly in a woodland nearby the children’s home.

Recent scenes have seen Nicky confide in Lydia about his problems with Gabby.

And it’s led to the theory Lydia’s son didn’t die – or was a twin- and Nicky is him.

6. Ashley’s secret son?

One Emmerdale fan theory suggested that the reason Nicky was rejecting Gabby was because they were secret siblings!

Writing on Twitter, one user wondered whether Nicky might be Ashley’s secret love child.

“Nicky revealed as Ashley’s secret son when?” the Emmerdale fan wrote.

But is there any truth to this fan theory?

Could Nicky be Ashley’s son?

Although there is no evidence of Ashley being unfaithful within the timeframe of an adult love child, the writers may be able to explain Nicky’s appearance.

Is Nicky the secret love child of Ashley Thomas?
