Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) has been left taken aback after meeting her new co-owner of the café in Emmerdale.

Ever since Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop) departed the village to go on a cruise, Nicola has been left running the café practically on her own.

She gained a little bit of help a few days ago courtesy of Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches), who could see Nicola was struggling and wanted to assist.

Lewis’ shift at the café in this evening’s episode featured a lot of residents arriving to try out the new menu. His bright personality and creative new ideas were already impressing Nicola, but she was also bothered about something.

Because Brenda was still technically co-owner, Lewis’ revamp of the menu and increase in sales meant she was reaping some of the benefits. With Brenda showing no sign of returning to the Dales, Nicola didn’t think this was very fair, but couldn’t get hold of her friend to sort things out.

As his day at the café continued, Lewis was paid a visit by brother Ross Barton (Michael Parr).

Lewis opened up to Ross about his business dreams and how he doesn’t intend to stay in the village forever. This left Ross feeling deflated, as he admitted to Lewis that he likes having him around.

It was perhaps this conversation that impacted Lewis’ next decision. With help from Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw), Lewis later revealed that he had been on the phone to Brenda – who has now sold her shares in the café.

Nicola and Jimmy King (Nick Miles) were intrigued, and then incredibly surprised to find out that Brenda sold her shares…to Lewis!

Given Nicola and Lewis have been getting on relatively well so far, this seems like a good idea, but will their positive connection continue? Or will they clash?

And how will Ross react to learn that Lewis will be staying in the Dales for the foreseeable?
