Nikhil Sharma (Rik Makarem)

I didn't like how Nikhil never told Brenda he and Molly were not returning

I think Nikhil was only ever meant to come back for the short-term, maybe as a sweet factory storyline fill-in for some time whilst Jai [actor Chris Bisson] took some paternity leave?

Actor Rik Makarem seems to prefer theatre acting, however.

I thought Nikhil and Leyla made a good possible couple though. However, Jai and David seem to be longer-term characters in Emmerdale for now...

Sad to see Nikhil go again. Loved the chemistry between him and Leyla, and the banter between them and David. Nice an light hearted, makes a change from the other heavy storylines!
