VILE VILLAGERS Emmerdale fans sink claws into ‘hideous and vile’ couple who ‘no-one should have anything to do with’
The couple receive support from an unlikely neighbour in upcoming scenes.
EMMERDALE fans have sunk their claws into a ‘hideous and vile’ couple who ‘no-one should have anything to do with’.
In recent weeks, a number of villagers have been dealing with the fall-out from Heath Hope’s death on New Year’s Day.
Heath died in a car crash after stealing a car alongside twin sister Cathy and their pal Angelica King.
While Cathy was accused of being the driver after she had been seen driving the stolen car out of the village, it was later revealed that it was in fact Angelica who was behind the wheel at the time of the crash.
It has led to a lot of tension between Heath’s dad Bob Hope and Angelica’s parents Nicola and Jimmy King.
This week, the King’s are waiting to find out how long Angelica’s custodial sentence will be.
The couple are beside themselves over their teen daughter’s situation, but the way they have been behaving has got some Emmerdale viewers’ backs up.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one wrote: “Angelica is a spoilt brat. I’m fed up with Jimmy and Nicola and their sense of entitlement.”
Another replied: “‘She’s just a little girl who did something wrong’ says Nicola?? If the roles were reversed she would be so much worse than Bob.
“Nicola & Jimmy are such hideous vile people. In real life no-one would have anything to do with them.”
A third simply wrote: “Sick of nicola!!”
Meanwhile a fellow Emmerdale viewer tweeted: “Angel thinks everything revolves around her and can wait. A lot like her Mother.”
In other scenes, Nicola and Brenda discuss the impacts of the crash on both of their families.
When Brenda offers to give a witness statement for Angel, Nicola’s moved by her friend’s compassion.
Over at the B&B, a defeated Bob (Tony Audenshaw) hears Jimmy out.
Unfortunately, despite his touching speech, Bob’s unable to forgive him.
Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
