Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) and Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) have been bezzies for years in Emmerdale, but their friendship is about to be tested.
They’ve been there for each other through thick and thin, through heartbreak and bad decisions, and everything else two best mates can endure.
But the thing to shatter their friendship, the one thing that has put everything else off while endearing Laurel to Nicola, could be Nicola’s ability to stick her oar in.
She sat him down for an honest but cringeworthy chat about safe sex, but was only too horrified to learn that he’d slept with John (Oliver Farnworth), a full grown adult.
Laurel was horrified that this newcomer had taken advantage of her young son and stormed over to confront him in the Woolpack – for the entire pub to hear. Arthur was mortified.
