But will Juliette’s private investigator throw a spanner into the works for Jimmy?

The following day, Jimmy struggles to stay calm as Juliette and Carl spend time together at the playground. 

But as he vents to Nicola, he’s unaware that someone is taking photographs of them from a distance. 

Emmerdale producers Jane Hudson and Laura Shaw teased the Kings’ major new storyline earlier this year, revealing: “There’s an upsetting time on the horizon for Jimmy and Nicola, who are going to cross over into the Mandy and Paul storyline in quite a shocking way.

“The audience will see that Jimmy and Nicola are being secretly watched and the couple are going to be frantic when Carl goes missing – who’s taken him?

“What starts off as a relatively small thing will turn into the biggest test we’ve seen of their marriage and their whole family, really.”

She added: “With betrayals of trust on both sides, it leads to lives being changed forever.”
