Scarlett Nicholls return demanded by fans as they lap up her appearance in Classic Emmerdale episodes
The secret daughter of Tom King was a hitIn Classic Emmerdale on ITV3 at the moment the King brothers’ younger sister, Scarlett Nicholls, has arrived and is causing a stir.
So much so that fans who are watching the repeated eps think she would be a great addition to the current cast.
Who was Scarlett Nicholls in Emmerdale?
Scarlett, played by Kelsey-Beth Crossley, joined the cast of Emmerdale in 2007. She was the secret younger half-sibling of Jimmy, Matthew and Carl King.
Their father, Tom King, had had an affair with Carrie Nicholls, who was nursing his wife when she died. He had fathered a child with Carrie, but refused to acknowledge her publically or introduce her to his sons.
It meant the boys only found out about Scarlett when Tom died and it was revealed he’d left her 25 percent of Home Farm and 10 percent of King & Sons to be held in trust until she turned 18.
Matthew didn’t want anything to do with Scarlett and was determined to buy her out. But Jimmy and Carl soon grew close to their new sister.
During her time in Emmerdale, Scarlett developed a crush on Daz Eden. They eventually got together, but he cheated on her with Victoria Sugden and she ended things.
Scarlett started her own business organising hen parties with Eve Jensen. She also dated Adam Barton, but when he kissed Mia Macey, Scarlett decided her time in the village was over. She moved to Canada to start afresh with her mum in 2011.
She returned briefly in 2012 for Carl’s funeral to support Jimmy with his grief.
Emmerdale fans want Scarlett back
Scarlett made her debut in Classic Emmerdale a few weeks ago and those watching the reruns are already impressed with her. They want her to return to stir things up in the village.
“I think they should bring back Jimmy’s sister Scarlett back to the village… just saying…” shared one on X.
Another proposed a comeback storyline for her: “They should totally bring Scarlett back – she does have family in the village. She could return as a rich business woman and visit her remaining brother.”
“Loved her way she stood up to her brothers, the Kings. Liked her and Daz’s friendship. Loved her working at Emmerdale Haulage. Would like her to return,” added a third.
A fourth said: “I’d like to see Scarlett come back.”
We have to be honest – she wasn’t a character that had a huge impact on us, but these fans seem certain she should come back.
So what do you think? Is Scarlett missing from the village? And would you like to see her return?
