“It\u2019s Eddie,” begins our Walford insider. “Nicola sneaks off to confront him at the hospital where he makes the unexpected admission that he hasn\u2019t got long left. When George later asks Nicola where she\u2019s been, she lies to him \u2013 but her deception soon comes out in the wash!”<\/p>\n

Finding a mysterious parking ticket from the hospital, George presses Nicola for the truth of her whereabouts, forcing her to reveal all about Eddie\u2019s condition. In a move that shocks Gina and Kojo, George decides to pay his disgraced dad a visit<\/a> \u2013 and is taken aback by the old man\u2019s fragile condition!<\/p>\n

“George harbours a lot of hatred towards Eddie, but seeing him in such a weakened state really knocks him for six,” explains our source.<\/p>\n

“George will never forgive Eddie for the past, but this is the man who brought him up and George is a kind man. The conflict he feels over seeing Eddie so poorly puts his moral compass in a spin.”<\/p>\n

Nicola and George\u2019s drama begins even earlier in the week, when they\u2019re able to bring premature Ivy home from the hospital<\/a> at last. However, their blissful baby bubble is popped when they walk into an unwanted surprise party for the tot, prompting stressed Nicola to order everyone out of her house!<\/p>\n

“Nicola\u2019s been through a lot, and having everyone overwhelm her when she\u2019s only just brought little Ivy home is too much,” reckons our insider. “She and Gina have a sweet heart-to-heart about the new arrival, and Nicola lights up when she watches George dote on their daughter. They just need peace and privacy for now!”<\/p>\n

Later in the week, Nicola faces financial troubles when her accountant reveals that Harry\u2019s Barn is in serious debt. Confronting Gina and Harry, the guilty pair come clean to Nicola about the bar\u2019s cash flow problem, and Harry begs his mum not to sell up.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Nicola heads to the hospital to confront dying Eddie, desperate to convince him to leave her family alone. Yet as she supports an emotional George in the wake of a shocking week of revelations, is this really the last that we\u2019ve seen of wicked Eddie?<\/a><\/p>\n
