in Emmerdale, it's the moment that Nikhil and Gennie fans have been waiting for as the pair finally give into their feelings for each other and share a passionate kiss.

With Gennie (Sian Reese-Williams) still preparing to leave Sharma & Sharma, she has a heart-to-heart with Nikhil at the factory after he gets them a bottle of wine.

Nikhil (Rik Makarem) soon lays his heart on the line, telling Gennie that he doesn't think Nicky is good enough for her. When a frustrated Gennie says that Nikhil's recent behaviour amounts to stalking, he finally cracks and admits that he loves her.

Gennie is stunned by Nikhil's confession, but it's not long before she moves in for a steamy kiss. Will she decide to dump Nicky for Nikhil?

Emmerdale star Charlotte Bellamy has explained why her character Laurel Thomas turns down a future with Marlon Dingle in next week's episodes.

Laurel heads to a hotel room with Marlon next Wednesday as she considers leaving her husband Ashley (John Middleton). She has felt attracted to Marlon since the summer and both have admitted their feelings for each other.

However, Laurel ultimately decides that she cannot abandon her family and returns home to Ashley, who is now well aware of her feelings for Marlon (Mark Charnock).

Bellamy told Soaplife of Laurel's decision: \"Reality hits. The practicalities of leaving Ashley, losing Gaby and having to leave the village hit her like a sledgehammer. She decides she must go home. She's in love with Marlon, but what do you do?\"

She continued: \"[Ashley] knows she's still in love with Marlon and would have gone off with him if it wasn't for the kids. Laurel hasn't slept with Marlon, but it's an emotional betrayal and it eats away at Ashley. He becomes very controlling of Laurel.\"

Bellamy said that Laurel warns Marlon she has made her final choice and wants to stick with her family.

\"Laurel tells him they've said all there is to say,\" she explained. \"She can't look at him anymore because she knows how she feels about him, but she has to do the right thing and stay in her marriage with Ashley.\"

Emmerdale airs Laurel's choice in an hour-long special on Wednesday at 7pm on ITV1.

Didn't Ashley's first wife have an affair with a cook? At this point, Ashley should go postal! :ninja:

But Laurel is not in love with Ashley then. So if Laurel didn't have any kids would that mean she would not have an affair with Marlon then? It just seems to me that Laurel is doing things out of duty and not love. Laurel doesn't love Ashley she's just staying with him so she doesn't lose her kids that's not love.

After the way Laurel blew up at Marlon, I wonder what's left between them? Mind you, I noticed in the Dec spoilers that Laurel confesses to Nicola about Marlon, so I guess the madness continue?? But it's an odd storyline?
