Emmerdale actress Nicola Wheeler, who plays feisty Nicola Blackstock, has revealed that she will be leaving the soap.

Nicola has played the minx for five years after arriving in the Dales with her dad Rodney back in January 2001.

She has been involved in a number of classic storylines, including being jilted at the altar by fiancé Carlos because of his affair with step-sister Bernice, as well as seducing a number of the village lotharios including Syd and Robert, before settling down with the stable Simon Meredith.

But that relationship has proved too monotonous for our needy Nic causing her to recently fall for Ivan, who it’s just been revealed is bi-sexual and is in a relationship with her step-brother Paul!

And it is Ivan that causes Nicola to leave the village in shame after she makes a move on him with devastating consequences!

Nicola, who will leave our screens in March, said: “I’ve had an amazing five years on the show but feel the time is right to try something new. I will miss everyone at Emmerdale desperately but I’m really excited about what the future holds.”

“Nicola has been an asset to the show and will be greatly missed,” added series producer, Kath Beedles. “We wish her the best of luck in her future career.”

Although I'll miss her, and I extremely pleased to see her leaving storyline involves Ivan - It's officially I am obsessed

She was having time off anyway, but I see that she is going for good now anyway.

I wonder what the storyline with Ivan is going to be! Hope he gives her short shrift.

I really don't want an Ivan betraying Paul storyline just as they've got together

I suspect that Simon and Lesley will be going too if this is going to be done logically.

They are only in the village because Simon is with Nicola

Aw, I like Nicola despite her being a selfish cow sometimes.

Looking forward to this Ivan storyline. Hopefully they won't break him and Paul up so soon. We haven't even seen this relationship they're in yet since Sunday's daft cut-off. Hope he'll give her her marching orders and prove he really does want to be with Paul. Be nice little conclusion to his confusion over it all in the past weeks. We need a nice long-term gay relationship.

Nicola is over used! She was in every episode since about mid-December! And she is so dull and annoying. I think the exit will be unrealistic as she will go, never to return obviously. Does this mean she'll be killed off?

There's definatley potential to having Ivan in a quandry, Nicola making several passes at him and him not feeling able to tell Paul as he's her brother and he doesn't want to destroy the brother/sister relationship - or something along those lines - I'm just a sucker for an angsty Ivan really And yes, I want to seeing him committing to Paul as well.

Me too.

I actually enjoy the character of Nicola in a funny sort of way, but I would really enjoy seeing her get her just desserts for going after her brother's boyfriend!

Yes but Danny had been there with his family for ages when they left. Lesley and Simon only moved to the village because of Nicola and once she leaves they can go back to Scarborough - a place they do know. That's just thinking logically though and I know it's a bit too much to ask that the TPTB think logically so I assume that they're just going to stay put.

Anyways as for Nicola I don't want her to go because she's a good supporting character.

She wasn't a bitch, she was a brat.

And as for her putting Laurel down? That is not "a right laugh" it is bullying. I wait for the day Laurel gives her a smack

Strong opinion.

She was great though, and still is. .. just never got married.

It seems a shame she's going, and I often wonder why soap actors do this; as we all know it is very difficult for them to find roles after soaps.

I hope Simon and Lesley stay, because I like them. Their business in Scarborough collapsed, so there is no reason for them to go back there.

I hope the Nichola/Ivan/Paul story is not one of betrayal; I would like to see a stable, long-term relationship for Paul and Ivan.

Simon and Lesley have family in Scarborough.
