Nicola Blackstock De Souza King (Nicola Wheeler)

[Keating's babe]

I am going to miss Nicola. I think she's a fab character and it's great how she's evolved since the Carlos and Bernice storyline.

I hope Simon doesn't leave because it would mean Lesley would be kind of redundant. Unless she started a relationship with someone in the village, perhaps Shadrach?

Actress Nicola Wheeler is to make a dramatic return to Emmerdale this autumn after an 18 month break from the soap.

The 33-year-old – who played super-bitch Nicola Blackstock before leaving the village in 2006 – returns to the Yorkshire dales in September under her new married name, Nicola De Souza.

With new-found finances in tow, will she be able to pick up the pieces with her father Rodney and half-brother Paul? And will she be able to lay to rest the endless feuds with the Emmerdale residents who she offended with her tirade of insults when she left?

Upon her return, Nicola takes an immediate shine to David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) and true to form, stops at nothing to get what she wants.

Nicola said: "I'm very excited to be back. It will be nice to see the changes to the character and catch up with what she’s been up to since we saw her last.

"It's interesting to go back as the same character but with a different name and a much bigger bank balance to help her cause even more trouble!"

Series Producer Kath Beedles added: "We're delighted to welcome Nicola back to the show. The villagers will get the shock of their lives when she makes her grand entrance later this year and can expect fireworks as Nicola vows to reclaim her status in the village."

Nicola returns to filming in August and her first scenes are scheduled to be on screen in the first few weeks of September.

hhhhhmmmm not sure about this but then again its going to be funny after her outburst before she left

[Chris_2k11]

Nicola is a very tired old character, she became stale years ago IMO

[Joanne]

What was her "status in the village"?

She was never one of my favourite characters so not particularly looking forward to her return.

Another one that left for better things and ends up back where she started - didn't like the character before so not looking forward to her return.
