It's over to Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) and James "Jimmy" King (Nick Miles) in Mulberry Cottage for their CoronaVirus (COVID-19) lockdown story.
Here is what viewers learnt.
Here is what viewers learnt.
Nicola's back is the least of her wines:
Sitting on the laptop in obvious discomfort, Nicola complains to her long-suffering husband, Jimmy, about her back problems. 'Devastation' was about to hit Mulberry Cottage; they have missed their 'essential' wine delivery and all Nicola wanted to do - in lockdown - was drink wine. Most likely to ease her situation with Jimmy and screaming kids. Nicola's fury causes Jimmy to soon do a runner for supplies.
Nicola keeps in-touch with the village people:
During lockdown, Nicola sets up a WhatsApp group with her fellow villagers. In this group so far, Nicola has; Laurel Thomas, Marlon Dingle, Rhona Goskirk, Priya Kotecha, Tracy Metcalfe, and Dan Spencer (providing he doesn't keep going on about his legs). Nicola deems Kerry Wyatt as a 'drunk messenger' so she won't be included in the group and neither will Jimmy because he is not invited.
Jimmy gets knickers in a twist:
Somehow the discussion got onto Nicola's knicker drawer. Jimmy comments on how her underwear has changed throughout the years. According to Jimmy, Nicola's knickers are now like sardines in a can - a world away from how they were when Mr. & Mrs. King got together. Nicola was far from impressed - obviously.
Marlon goes for a jog:
Looking out the window, Jimmy remarks on Marlon jogging with his new trainers. How Jimmy noticed Marlon's trainers (or remotely remembered what they looked like) is a very bizarre occurrence.
The numbers don't add up for Jimmy:
Having a look at the children's mathematics homework, Jimmy couldn't make end nor tail of it and became shocked at what the youth of today has to endure in school.
Jimmy is in Nicola's business:
At the end of this evening's episode written by Chris Gill, Nicola told Jimmy she wants to get back into the business world and start her own company. When Emmerdale goes back to regular episodes this new storyline will be explored.
Where are the kids?
The actors who portray Nicola and Jimmy's children were not in ITV Studios during filming. Storyline-wise, they're in their rooms upstairs in Mulberry Cottage.
House swap in the dales:
According to Nick Miles on Twitter, this episode was originally meant to be from Nicola & Jimmy's home at Victoria Cottage but due to production restrictions this was not possible so a few alterations was made.
Laurel is in lockdown at Jai Sharma's house where Nicola, Jimmy & the kids have been 'dontated' Laurel's house for the time being.
