Emmerdale airs a big decision for one resident on Thursday night after hints of an exit from the ITV soap.
Gabby Thomas makes a possibly life-changing choice after weeks of upheaval, with her keen to start a new life somewhere else. Earlier this year the character was heartbroken, after she was jilted on her wedding day. Her groom Nicky Miligan turned out to be gay, and he was actually using her to get his hands on her money on the order of his father Caleb Miligan.
Gabby has struggled to live in the village alongside Nicky in the fallout and has been keen to flee. But she upset Kim Tate when she vowed to sell up her businesses The Hide an The HOP, with Kim having signed them over to her completely in a bid to get her to stay. Recent drama with the businesses, though, lead to a decision in the next episode after weeks of exit claims.
