Emmerdale favourite fights for her life after horror car crash
THE Kings haven’t been on the best of terms and tensions became evident upon Thomas King’s return.
But things go from bad to worse when one member of the iconic Emmerdale family is left at death’s door after a horrific car crash.
Tom (portrayed by newcomer James Chase) returned to the eponymous ITV village but failed to let his own family know about his comeback.
After a decade away in Saudi Arabia, he managed to reconcile his romance with former girlfriend Belle Dingle who eventually pushed him to mend his relationship with his own flesh and blood.
But in scenes coming up next week, Tom’s bond with his uncle Jimmy King (Nick Miles) goes from awkward to awry as he learns more about his treacherous and deceitful father Carl.
An argument erupts and escalates, leading Jimmy to cut ties altogether with Tom – and his wife Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) is convinced he’s done the right thing.
Nicola reminds Jimmy that his anguish over Tom is affecting the rest of their family and she reminds him of his priorities.
But it seems her words aren’t heard as she soon spots her thirteen-year-old daughter Angelica aka Angel (Rebecca Bakes) outside Victoria Cottage following Jimmy’s failure to take her to her dentist appointment.
Nicola hits the roof and, stressed to the heavens, takes it upon herself to take her daughter to the dentist.
She orders the young girl to get into the car and drives while ranting to her – but things go from bad to deadly when Nicola crashes into Moira Dingle (Natalie J. Robb) at an unsighted junction on the outskirts of the village.

However, the shock turns to horror when Moira and Nicola reel at the sight of an unconscious Angel in the back of the latter’s crushed car.
