Jimmy rushed out after hearing the bombshell. <\/p>
Jimmy (Nick Miles) and Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) were left broken in tonight\u2019s Emmerdale<\/a> (19th January 2024), as they struggled to cope with the magnitude of daughter Angelica\u2019s (Rebecca Bakes)<\/a> horrifying confession.<\/p>\n After Heath Hope\u2019s (Sebastian Dowling) funeral, Angel crumbled and told Nicola that she had been driving when the car crashed, causing Heath\u2019s death<\/a>.<\/p>\n In shock, Nicola tried to tell Angel that she didn\u2019t know what she was saying, but the teen\u2019s words proved that she was indeed telling the truth.<\/p>\n As vicar Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) arrived at the graveyard, telling Angel she could talk about her grief for Heath anytime, Nicola dismissed him and hurried the girl away.<\/p>\n At home, Angel urged her mum not to tell dad Jimmy while he was still with the mourners at The Woolpack.<\/p>\n As Angel explained the depth of Cathy Hope\u2019s (Gabrielle Dowling) hurt and anger over being wrongly accused, Nicola finally understood what the grieving twin must be going through.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\n It was clear that the reality of the situation hadn\u2019t sunk in for Angel, who wanted to relax with her phone. But when she got upset again, Nicola comforted her, before insisting that she had to tell Jimmy.<\/p>\n After asking her husband to come home, Nicola promised Angel that she would be staying with her family \u2013 a promise she may not be able to keep.<\/p>\n Bracing herself, Nicola told Jimmy everything, confirming that Angel\u2019s new story was true. Jimmy struggled to take it in, while Nicola recalled once letting Angel drive one of the haulage vans.<\/p>\n Jimmy was reluctant to speak to Angel in the moment, and he fled the house, urging his wife to tell their daughter he loved her.<\/p>\n Alone in her torment, Nicola broke down while Angel sat on the stairs. Will Angel be going to prison? And just how will Heath\u2019s father Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw) react when he realises that daughter Cathy is innocent after all?<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
