There's a fine line between love and hate

There's a fine line between love and hate

Yay! Jimmy and Nicola are kissing! Does this mean the divorce is off again? Well... the kiss comes at the end of another huge bust-up between them. Jimmy was actually celebrating his upcoming divorce in The Woolpack, but only to wind up Nicola. And Nicola was trying (and failing) to flirt with dishy Nicky, but only to wind up Jimmy. When Nicola goes to check on Home Farm after she hears that kids have been hanging around Jimmy follows her to offer protection. But it's he who needs protection when Nicola turns on him. The only way to shut her up is to kiss her, which is what Jimmy does and then passion takes over - completely. Talking of sexual attraction. Just what perfume is Gennie wearing these days??? Nikhil's got his boxers in a bunch over her (but won't admit it) and now dishy Nicky is attracted to her, too. Decisions, decisions... If only Amy's problems were as simple as choosing a lad to date. She's already done more than date Cain and now she's due to have his baby on December 30 (but probably Christmas Day). Amy wants rid of the baby and as it's too late for an abortion she's trying to drink it away...
