Emmerdale spoiler for today May 17, 2023: Nicky Milligan panics after evil plan goes awry

THE former Home Farm nanny was embroiled in his father Caleb Milligan’s misdeeds.

But tonight in Emmerdale, Nicky Milligan is met with a considerable hurdle which could overthrow their plot altogether.

Caleb Milligan (portrayed by Will Ash) took his plan to the next level in recent scenes of the ITV drama when he set his sights on taking sister-in-law Moira Dingle’s land.

Meanwhile, tonight, his son Nicky (Lewis Cope) becomes stressed as he fails to enter Kim’s password correctly.

Several of his erroneous attempts almost lock her laptop down, prompting him to tell Caleb they need to find another way.

Nicky rocked up the eponymous village looking for a job and soap viewers knew immediately that he was too good to be true when he started working at Home Farm by taking care of Dawn Fletcher and Gabby Thomas’ children.

And when Gabby (Rosie Bentham) revealed she was attracted to him, fans were fully convinced he had something to hide as he admitted the attraction was mutual.

Soap fans were proven right when Caleb was revealed to be Frank Tate’s illegitimate son and Nicky the late patriarch’s grandson.

To top it all off, Nicky was then shown to be keeping another secret but Gabby remains blissfully oblivious to what’s really going on.

Tonight, as Nicky is faced with a setback and struggles to find a way to hack into Kim’s laptop, Caleb is due to get good news.

Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) is taken aback when his wife Moira (Natalie J. Robb) admits defeat in her battle to keep Butlers afloat.

Moira has been financially strained and Caleb suggested persuading her to sell her farm land in order to build the new stud farm – which Kim Tate agreed with.

Caleb previously watched Moira struggle from afar, as an interested observer.

Could his plans be figured out?

Will him and Nicky manage to enter Kim’s laptop?

Emmerdale airs tonight from 7.30pm on ITV.
