Emmerdale SPOILER: Child abduction ordeal for Jimmy and Nicola King as son Carl goes missing

Emmerdale have confirmed a dark child abduction plot for Jimmy and Nicola King which will see their son Carl go missing. 

The horrifying storyline will involve two families in the village, with the sinister plot tipped to ‘change lives forever.’ 

Emmerdale’s series producer Laura Shaw recently teased that Jimmy (Nick Miles) and Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) will become embroiled in Mandy Dingle and Paul Ashdale’s upcoming story – with big implications for all involved.

Parents Jimmy and Nicola are set to be ‘frantic’ as young Carl disappears, with the couple unaware that they were being watched prior to his abduction. 

The villagers will be desperate to know who took Carl, with the tragedy seriously testing Jimmy and Nicola’s relationship like never before. 

The incident will also be linked to Many (Lisa Riley) and Paul (Reece Dinsdale), though it’s yet to be revealed how. 

Teasing the upcoming plot, Laura told the media: ‘There’s an upsetting time on the horizon for Jimmy and Nicola, who are going to cross over into the Mandy and Paul storyline in quite a shocking way.

‘The audience will see that Jimmy and Nicola are being secretly watched and the couple are going to be frantic when Carl goes missing – who’s taken him?

‘What starts off as a relatively small thing will turn into the biggest test we’ve seen of their marriage and their whole family, really.’

She added: ‘With betrayals of trust on both sides, it leads to lives being changed forever.’ 

Spoilers reveal that Mandy and Paul are set to tie the knot, but Mandy is still unaware of Paul’s gambling addiction and abuse of their son Vinny (Bradley Johnson).

With drama ahead for everyone involved, just how are they linked to Carl’s kidnapping?  

Emmerdale continues weekdays from 7pm on ITV.
