Fans of Emmerdale think newcomer Naomi could have a connection to Nicola.
The youngster was welcomed to the ITV soap after her dad, vicar Charles, was looking for her. He discovered she was missing but she was unaware he is actually her father.
She soon found out the truth when Charles laid eyes on her in a pub amid a confrontation with the barman. The village vicar exploded in rage as he yelled for the man to leave his daughter alone and threw him to the floor.

But fans seem to think the youngster has caused more drama elsewhere. Viewers have a theory Naomi could be linked to Nicola.
Sassy character Nicola has recently being having a tough time after being battered and bruised by a group of thugs. Since that she has been struggling to leave her house.
As she lay winded on the ground in the car park, one of the girls who had attacked her stopped to say sorry. The attacker was wearing distinctive footwear - a pair of gold trainers.
On tonight's episode, Naomi was spotted wearing footwear just like them and fans have concluded she must be a part of the vicious gang. Taking to Twitter, Yvonne said: "[Charles'] daughter wearing same trainers of the girl who said to Nicola sorry after that brutal attack #Emmerdale."
Another user said: "This is just my theory but I think Naomi (Charles' daughter) could be the one that Nicola recognizes as one of the people that attacked her, only because of the trainers that the person was wearing when Nicola was attacked. #Emmerdale"
Lala said: "I knew the gold trainers girl would definitely be back/ come to the village! I bet it's Naomi and Nicola will recognise her trainers." Meanwhile, another user said: "Hmmmm was Naomi the shadowy figure when Nicola got bashed? #emmerdale."
