Emmerdale theory: Angelica King helping Nicola’s attackers in horror revenge twist

Emmerdale: Nicola gets knocked to the ground in violent attack

Angelica (played by Rebecca Bakes) was left horrified a couple of weeks ago on Emmerdale when she discovered Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) had been attacked by a group of schoolgirls. As her mother continues to spiral out of control in upcoming scenes on the ITV soap, the youngster will carry on with her life as if nothing has happened. However, it could be revealed she actually played a part in the attack and is doing this to get revenge.

For years, Angelica and her mother were inseparable and they did almost everything together, with Nicola being very defensive of her daughter.

This included ending up in court when she bit Cathy Hope (Gabriella Dowling) who had previously bitten Angelica at a Kid’s Club.

As the youngster has grown older, Nicola and her have drifted apart slightly as two boys came into the picture in the form of her brothers.

Although Angelica loves her brothers, she might not like how much attention they get and especially when her mother also spreads her time between home and work as a councillor.

With Angelica feeling as if she has been left out of the picture, she could have decided to get some older girls from her school to attack her mother.

Nicola isn’t rational

With no control over her mother’s decisions and with the attack having traumatised Nicola, what will Angelica plan next?

Although Nicola has become a lot less feisty in recent years, when she first arrived in the village she was a force to be reckoned with.

Despite being on the show for 13 years, Angelica might now be embracing her mother’s darker side as she becomes a character in her own right.

Many children who were born on the show begin to get the spotlight when they enter their teenage years and that’s what could happen in Angelica’s case.

However, how long will it be before someone catches on that the youngster needs some help?

The actress who plays Nicola, Nicola, has addressed the aftermath of her character’s attack and how on edge she will be for a fair few weeks.

Nicola explained to Express.co.uk and other media: “She expresses that fear immediately [the girls could come back as they have her driving licence with her address on].

“Harriet [Finch] tries to reassure her that if the girls came back, they would be admitting their guilt so it’s highly unlikely they will come back again.

“But, Nicola is in shock. This is the thing about mental health issues, she is going through trauma and that anxiety builds up inside her.

“She covers it and she’s not rational, even though Harriet reassures her it’s very unlikely to happen.”

“In Nicola’s mind, it’s the obvious thing that the girls are going to be hiding,” the soap star continued.

“They’re going to attack her kids, they’re going to attack her, they’re going to come back. She’s just not seeing sense,” Nicola added.

But how would she feel if she knew the real ring leader behind the attack was living under her roof and has been causing her immeasurable pain?

If Angelica is unmasked as her tormentor, the mother and daughter duo could have a heated conversation about why the youngster wanted to do it.

As Nicola understands her daughter feels pushed out of the picture, will she do more to be present in her life or realise her child needs help?
