Their budding romance fizzled out and things have got pretty tense \u2013 with George currently suspicious of Nicola\u2019s son Harry<\/a> and his relationships with both Gina and Kojo.<\/p>\n

But speaking exclusively to us at a photoshoot<\/a> for the Inside Soap Awards 2025<\/a>, Laura has revealed that the story of Nicola and George\u2019s relationship is far from over and that there could be more twists to come\u2026<\/p>\n

“The future for Nicola and George is very interesting, I think,” she teased. “You can expect quite a rollercoaster ride.<\/p>\n

“I mean, of course, it\u2019s Nicola Mitchell \u2013 it\u2019s not going to be a lovely little sailboat through an ocean, is it? It\u2019s going to be exciting, and I\u2019m really looking forward to it.”<\/p>\n

This is the latest dramatic plot for Nicola, who has made quite the mark in Albert Square since her arrival back in November<\/a> \u2013 and Laura had fun recapping everything her alter ego has been up to.<\/p>\n

“So I\u2019ve been on EastEnders now for nine months, and it has been incredible!” she remarked. “If you look back at the storylines I\u2019ve been given, it\u2019s just been a rollercoaster\u2026<\/p>\n

“Murdering my eldest son\u2019s girlfriend, revealing \u2013 or not wanting to reveal \u2013 the paternity of my youngest son, getting back together with my family then exploding it, having rivalry with Sharon, and almost getting Zack killed. It\u2019s been quite extraordinary. And I\u2019m now sleeping with George!”<\/p>\n

Viewers will remember that it was Nicola who dobbed in drug dealer Ravi to the police, which inadvertently led to Harry working for him and completing illegal work to pay off his debt.<\/p>\n

As this story continues to get darker<\/a>, has Nicola accidentally put her son in grave danger? <\/p>\n

Newbie Nicola has quickly become a firm favourite with EastEnders fans, and for her memorable performance Laura has been nominated for Best Newcomer at this year\u2019s awards.<\/p>\n

“It feels utterly incredible to have been nominated for Best Newcomer,” said Laura, reacting to this nod. “I still can\u2019t believe my luck that I\u2019m part of such an amazing soap, and to have that recognition just feels really lovely.”<\/p>\n

Asked why fans should get behind EastEnders in the Best Soap category this year, Laura replied: “Fans should vote for EastEnders because it has been an absolutely epic year! I feel so privileged to have joined the show at this time.<\/p>\n

“The 40th [anniversary] was incredible, and the performances have been phenomenal. I think it\u2019s a really close call for those who\u2019ve been nominated. I am just having the time of my life. I just think it\u2019s the best place to work, in the world ever!”<\/p>\n
