Who will Lewis Cope play in Emmerdale?
Lewis Cope will play the role of Nicky in Emmerdale.
Nicky will be the new nanny up at Home Farm.
After their initial potential nanny turns the job down, the position of nanny is then given to Nicky.
Gabby is delighted to be given the chance to employ the heartthrob.
Dawn is apprehensive about employing a nanny, but when Nicky meets Clemmie and Lucas, she breathes a sigh of relief.
Nicky connects with the children, making Dawn offer him the job.
Is Nicky a good or a bad guy?
Lewis Cope has spoken out about what viewers can expect from Nicky and on whether he really is the Mr. Nice Guy that he makes out to be:
“At the moment he’s a lovely person,” he said.
However, it’s clear that Nicky seems too perfect: “He kind of fits the bill. He’s almost too good to be true. You’ll have to wait and see.”
Could he turn dark, like many before him up at Home Farm?
It seems that Nicky is set to win over hearts with his charming ways but he certainly pleases one person in particular – Gabby.
Speaking about Gabby’s reasons for hiring Nicky, Rosie Bentham revealed: “I think she actually calls him fit to his face. So I think it’s very clear, Gabby’s intentions, straight away.”
Could Nicky be Gabby’s new love interest?
Ooh, we’ll have to watch this space.
