Emmerdale: Sharon and Nicola have a catfight in the Woolpack
Things are heating up between David and Nicola as he begins to realise that his feelings for her have returned. When Nicola uses David’s cleaning firm to scout for dog-sitting clients he is quietly impressed and the sexual tension between them is clear. But just when it looks as though things are starting to get steamy, they are abruptly interrupted by Sharon. Has old-flame Nicola got David’s heart racing again?
Later in the week, it looks as though Nicola’s dog walking business is finally starting to take off. But she regrets asking Victoria for help when the silly girl mistakenly takes a prize stud to be castrated. Rushing to stop Paddy from completing the operation, Nicola fails to lock her door and the other dogs escape into the village.
Later, she enlists David’s help to track down a missing Alsatian in the bed and breakfast. The feisty dog soon overpowers them and they find themselves locked in a room together. Will they take this chance to relight the flames of passion?
While Nicola and David are still hiding from the dog, they overhear Sharon talking about David and mocking him. Furious, Nicola later frogmarches David down to the Woolpack where he dumps Sharon in front of the whole pub. Seeing red, Sharon launches at love-rival Nicola and soon hair is flying as the two become embroiled in a vicious catfight. Will Nicola and David be able to keep the past events behind them and start a new relationship?
