Naomi Walters is facing new legal trouble in her latest setback in Emmerdale.

Earlier this week, Naomi decided to stay in the village in order to take responsibility for her part in Nicola's trauma.

While Naomi didn't take part in the attack, she admitted standing aside as it took place because she was afraid of Saskia and the gang of girls who'd jumped Nicola.

After Naomi was taken in for questioning, Ethan was worried back in the village that she didn't have proper representation.

What to Read Next

Naomi turned up to assure him that Lucy had been there to advise her to give up the name of Saskia and her gang, with Manpreet promising the family will stand by her if "there's any kind of backlash".

When Naomi turned up at the cafe, she was shocked to see Nicola back behind the counter. Although Naomi tried to explain she was doing the right thing, Nicola wasn't ready to accept any apologies.

"I was scared," Naomi tried to explain.

Nicola hit back that she was even more scared, adding: "I lost every ounce of dignity I had. Now, you swan in here, telling me you've done the right thing. You are nothing but a spineless bully who's been squirming because they've been caught out.

"You don't get to get out of it that easily. I want you to suffer like I suffered… I am going to enjoy watching every minute of it."

As if things couldn't get worse, Naomi was taken back down to the station and told that the other women she'd implicated were now blaming her. The episode ended with her being arrested for GBH.

Will Naomi be able to prove the truth to Nicola?
