on Emmerdale, the moment that fans have been waiting for finally arrives in a fortnight's time as Jimmy's memories of Nicola come flooding back.

After browsing through his and Nicola's wedding photos, Jimmy starts to remember the happy day, and it's not long until his strong feelings for his wife return.

Realising that he's made the biggest mistake of his life by dumping his devoted partner, Jimmy heads to find her at The Woolpack to put things right.

However, in a twist, Nicola is in a bad way at the pub following another row with Kelly. In a drunken state, she starts to flirt aggressively with a shocked Marlon.

When Jimmy sees Nicola and Marlon, how will he react? And can Jimmy persuade Nicola to take him back?

[Chloe O'brien]

It'll be alright Marlon is to much a gentleman to take advantage of Nicola in her state. Her and Jimmy will kiss and make up. They have too. We miss Nico nagging Jimmy.

Aaron decides to accept Jackson's wishes
Airs on Monday, May 16 2011 19:00 BST on ITV1

Jackson tells Aaron to leave, refusing to be watched every minute of the day. Paddy confronts Aaron about what happened in Whitby, determined to make him talk, but Aaron can't bring himself to confide.

Later, Jackson tells Aaron that he knows this is unfair on him, so it's over between them. Jackson tries to say goodbye, but Aaron cracks and promises to stand by him.

Meanwhile, Declan praises Ella for making the deal with John happen and gives her a kiss. Ella is pleased to finally feel noticed by him, but later he is back to focusing on work. When Adam comes on to Ella in the office, she warns him that they need to be careful or Adam will find himself in trouble, but it's obvious she's enjoying being desired.

Elsewhere, Victoria is relieved to get a call on her mobile from Amy and confides in Alex that Amy needs money. Later, Victoria asks Diane if she can borrow some cash. Victoria tells Hannah that she's meeting Amy but insists she keep quiet.

Also today, Eve is amused when Chas enjoys kissing Nikhil in the pub to make Carl jealous.


Amy gives David a shock ultimatum
Airs on Tuesday, May 17 2011 19:00 BST on ITV1

David is suspicious after seeing Victoria on her mobile and decides to follow her. Victoria meets Amy at a café where she is working and tries to convince her to go back to the village, but Amy refuses.

After Victoria hands her some cash and leaves, David approaches and asks her to go home. He apologises for making her feel stupid, but explains that she caught him off guard and admits he didn't handle it well. He reminds her how much Pollard and Val care about her and want her home. Amy realises David is worried about his own reputation too and quickly claims he'll have to pay her to get him off the hook…

Meanwhile, Hazel gets a shock when a social worker turns up unexpectedly, asking questions about Jackson's welfare now that Joe has gone. Paranoid that social services are onto them, Hazel is defensive and tells her to leave.

Elsewhere, Moira is concerned when Holly and Roz decide to have a night out together. After receiving a text from Ella, Adam suggests that Mia should join Holly and Roz for a girls' night out. Later, Moira is furious when the girls return home drunk and rebukes Roz, saying that she trusted her to look after Holly. However, John tells her that she's over-reacting.

Also today, Jai tells Charity that she's out of a job now that the barn conversion is done, while Eve agrees to go for a drink with Kelly to wind up Carl.


Amy's decision shocks Pollard
Airs on Wednesday, May 18 2011 19:00 BST on ITV1

David tells Pollard that he saw Amy the previous day but she tried to blackmail him for £500 to return and clear his name. Pollard is appalled but is determined to find out if Amy cares for them at all. They arrive at the café where Amy is working and Pollard tells David to wait in the car while he talks to her.

As they chat, Pollard pulls out the £500 and gives Amy two choices - take the money and never see them again, or return home where she is cared for and admit the truth. He is devastated when Amy takes the money and leaves.

Meanwhile, Marlon suggests that Kelly should just accept defeat and return to Peterborough, but Kelly claims that Elliot needs to be near his dad. As they head to the swings, she notices a hole in his jumper and quickly makes it bigger.

At the same time, Carl tries to convince Nicola to reconsider things with Jimmy, but Nicola refuses - prompting Rodney to encourage her to at least let Jimmy spend some time with Angelica. However, Nicola arrives to meet Jimmy in time to see Kelly trick him into handing over some cash to buy new clothes for Elliot and giving him a hug. Nicola then leaves in disgust.

Elsewhere, Charity is still annoyed with Jai for using an estate agent instead of her to sell the barn conversion properties; while Rhona and Paddy try to make amends with Marlon but get a frosty reception.


Jimmy's memories of Nicola come flooding back
Airs on Thursday, May 19 2011 19:00 BST on ITV1

Nicola is shocked when Jimmy calls her Nico in the street, without realising the significance of what he's said. Later, Scarlett finds Jimmy looking at wedding photos and memories of the day come back to him.

Jimmy soon rushes to Rodney's and as memories come flooding back, he realises he's made the biggest mistake of his life by turning his back on Nicola…

Meanwhile, Pollard informs Val of Amy's decision. Val is furious that he made such a mess of it and didn't let her get involved. When Val accuses Pollard of just wanting rid, Pollard lets slip that he didn't have much choice in taking her on in the first place, so Val storms out in disgust. Later, Pollard tries to make her see that Amy doesn't care about them, just as Amy turns up at the B&B. Val is speechless as she hugs her.

Elsewhere, Jackson and Hazel receive a visit from Steve and his wife Annie. Steve excitedly shares the news that Annie is pregnant and they've just had their three-month scan. They all go for a drink together to celebrate. Back home, Hazel bursts into tears as the reality of what lies ahead hits her.

Also today, Moira agrees to Holly and Roz going to the cinema to celebrate Roz's birthday; Rhona is grateful for Marlon's support when she has Braxton Hicks contractions; Ella resents seeing Declan checking out Katie; and Laurel and Ashley enjoy a date together until Nicola joins them to drown her sorrows.

Nicola refuses to take Jimmy back
Airs on Thursday, May 19 2011 20:00 BST on ITV1

Nicola is drunk in the pub, while Jimmy is sitting outside the pavilion, stressed out about his returned memory. Fresh from a row with Nicola in the pub, Kelly finds Jimmy and invites him to see Elliot in his new clothes. However, Jimmy tells her to leave him alone and heads off to find Nicola.

Jimmy arrives at the pub to find a drunken Nicola coming on heavy with a terrified Marlon. He tells her how much she means to him and promises they can re-build what they had, but Nicola refuses, claiming he made his choice and he has to live with it.

Meanwhile, Pollard is annoyed when Val is happy to gloss over everything that Amy has done, even when she admits that nothing happened with David. Amy claims she gave the £500 to her boss at the café because he got heavy with her over owing him rent. Pollard is incredulous but Val insists that she doesn't need to pay them back.

Later, Amy repays the money that Victoria gave her and claims the cash was from David to make her say nothing happened. At the same time, Pollard confides in David that he wishes Amy had stayed away.

Elsewhere, Ella quickly throws Adam out minus his jeans when Declan returns home unexpectedly; while Moira realises that the worry over Holly will never leave her when she returns home late due to Roz's car breaking down.

Nicola asks Jimmy for a divorce
Airs on Friday, May 20 2011 19:00 BST on ITV1

Kelly is horrified to hear from Marlon that Jimmy begged Nicola to go back to him. Jimmy is downbeat after Nicola's harsh words, but Carl and Scarlett convince him to fight to win her back. At the same time, Kelly thanks Nicola - claiming that after last night Jimmy will probably never want to speak to her again. Nicola feels humiliated that she might have done Kelly a favour.

Later, Nicola confides in Ella, who encourages her to take Jimmy back, reminding her that no man is perfect. Jimmy subsequently asks Nicola to give him another chance but is devastated when she says that she can't forgive him and wants a divorce.

Meanwhile, Moira is concerned to see Holly and Roz joking with Cain, so she warns Cain to stay away from Holly as she has enough problems. However, Holly later tells Moira that Cain helped by giving them a lift home when Roz's car broke down the night before.

Moira feels terrible after hearing that their earlier chat was to offer Cain money, which he refused. She goes to apologise to him but ends up insulting him further when she makes it clear that she doesn't trust him.

Elsewhere, after another strained council meeting thanks to Amy, David tells Leyla that he wants to pack his job in; Cameron admits to Debbie that he can't meet his monthly maintenance payment to his ex, so she agrees to transfer some cash to him; Charity tries to convince Val and Pollard that they should buy the barn conversion; and Leyla refuses to let Amy have her job back.
