Emmerdale fan!

Huh, I wonder where they are going with Nicky and Ally. So far it feels like they're copy-pasting Robron with the attempt to steal a car (different circumstances but still), one of the characters being engaged to a woman, interest in Home Farm, and a kiss in the lay-by (and that's the obvious similarities, the more I wonder, the more there is). I hope it's not the case because there is potential there. I honestly wouldn't mind characters being chaotic and a bit devious.

it just feels like after Emmerdale failed with Aaron/Ben & Ethan/Marcus, the writers might want to copy formula that worked in the past. I love Robron but I don't want the exactly same experience.

[rileychester]

If ED is trying to do a repeat copy and paste job with Nicky and Ally. By making them a poor man’s Robron.

They might want to bring Ally around more to actually have people get to know the character on his own and with Nicky.

Also have Ally interact with the village, other than people at Home Farm. So not just Gabby and Will. Have Ally make friends with a Dingle like Belle or become friendly with Mack or Victoria for example.

You can’t just have Ally being Nicky’s bit on the side that pops up every now and then. Where they only meet in the shadows.

It would also be good to show Ally and Nicky interacting more. Sure Caleb and Nicky are running a con. But Gabby would be thrilled by Ally coming around more, he’s already shown that he’s a charmer and can easily pull the wool over her eyes and those around him. Ally knew something was on the take, but he didn’t once gave the game away. In fact Nicky was the one who was more revealing that even Gabby picked up on it.

Plus they could hide him in plain sight and have him be the best man having a bit of the groom. I mean it’s more suspicious that Nicky has no one stopping by. No family or mates, he’s a young bloke who doesn’t have connections with other people? That’s a bit odd. Gabby has already shown that she’s super excited about meeting Nicky’s people and being out having fun. Probably cause he’s her partner and it can’t be fun for Gabby to be such a young mom.

He’s a nanny who becomes her boy toy and no one thinks it’s fishy that he’s suddenly gonna be a house husband and cool with that. A friend would be a distraction and make him look like less of a con.

You want to piggy back on one of the most beloved couples of all time from the show. Might actually show the two of them being a couple.

[rileychester]

Yes, I have said it before. But if ED wants to piggyback off Robron with Nicky and Ally. They need to actually show them, the real them, not these little snippets. We need to see them as people, the real people they are under all the buster. I would like to see Ally come into the village and make connections there. Perhaps he can become friends with Vic or Matty? To have him be the best man in the wedding, he's part of the wedding planning, and he meets up with those at Home Farm and Gabby's family.

Hell Ally doesn't even have a last name yet, he's just Nicky's mate Ally.

Guessing that Ally knows some sort of con is going on or there is some reason why Nicky would be involved with Gabby in the first place. But I doubt he knows the whole situation with Caleb on a sort of insane crusade for the father he never knew. And that he's roped Nicky in because Nicky is wanting to help his mom.

I’m gonna go with that Nicky and Ally are long-time friends, that had feelings, that became friends with benefits, but they never had the making it official conversation yet.

But seriously ED, if you are going to have them have big love declarations with romantic lighting in a loved-up moment. There has to be some actual fucking build-up and actually knowing what their relationship was and is. This can be done with conversations, like them talking about how far they have come when they were just friends. Or Nicky talking about the whole Caleb plan and how it kills him hiding his true self. Or just a typical conversation to show how these two are also friends where they talk and are real about their lives. Like something as simple as sharing their days.

I mean take Marshall and Arthur for example, they are friends before they were boyfriends. They talk, they joke, they hang out, and there is a connection there that was built up over time. Not crammed in or done offscreen.

Honestly, I think the reason Caleb has no idea that Nicky has a romantic/sexual interest in men is simply because he’s a bad father and they have an estranged/complicated relationship. I mean I have a crappy relationship with my dad too, so he has no idea that I like women as well as men. I don’t think they're the kind of relationship where they are close and share things. Probably more likely, Caleb just expects Nicky to hop to the second Caleb commands his son to do his bidding.

Like I believe that Nicky and Ally were long-time friends, especially after seeing their most recent scenes. I mean does Caleb even know Ally or that he's Nicky's friend? I mean do Caleb and Ally have a relationship of the typical relationships that a lot of our long-time friends have with our parents? Like they are civil and decent to each other? I don't think Caleb even knows that Nicky is hanging out with Ally, though I think Gabby mentioned it. Probably because Caleb assumed it was another woman that Nicky snuck off with and probably because Caleb is self-centered and doesn't seem to care for his own son that much.

I do think that Nicky and Ally have potential. I mean the only time Nicky seems to genuinely light up is when he's with Ally. I mean the man was practically glowing and not just because of the sun on his back. But if ED wants people thinking of a new queer romance to support and champion they need to stop being weak and actually put in the work first with solid writing and story execution.

I really wish the Nicky and Ally relationship story was better. Sure they’ll never be Robron but they could at least be something more than a cheap knockoff with lackluster writing.

They’re just basically nothing right now but a vague outline of things we’ve already seen. There’s no substance to it.

We know next to nothing about either of them, especially Ally. Who is Nicky outside of this incredibly vague scheme against Kim? What did he do before this? What are his values? What drives him as a character? Who is Ally? Where does he live? What does he do? Does he have family? What drives him as a character? What do either of them like/dislike? Who are these people?!

We don’t even know what the nature of their relationship was prior to Ally showing up. Were they exes? Were they casual? Were they just friends who we’re heading towards something? What? And what is the nature of their relationship now? How do either of them feel about this relationship?

We don’t even know what Nicky’s sexuality is let alone why Caleb doesn’t seem to know or why Nicky wouldn’t let him know.

Right now I’m only mildly interested in this story to be amused by some of the knockoff Robron moments and to hopefully fill in the blanks on all of these questions above rather than actually being invested in these characters.

Round 2, bracket B, poll 9 (last one in this round)

Propaganda for Caitvi: "in the game, they're fighters and are confirmed to be girlfriends who live together (Vi mentions wanting to go back home to Caitlyn). They're not canon yet in the show, but Vi's butch swag and calling Caitlyn 'cupcake' are working pretty well so far."

Propaganda for Joenicky: "they're immortal. they've been alive almost 1000 years. enemies to lovers even (they killed each other repeatedly before they fell in love). one gives a speech about how much he loves the other WHILE they're both being held prisoner in the back of a van and then they kill everyone. also they're really really important to me"

"they killed each other fighting on opposite sides of the crusades and then both resurrected as immortals and killed each other many times before becoming allies and then falling in love. they've fought first each other and then side by side for hundreds of years and are total complements in battle, along with their other immortal family!!"

Round 2

[annyoingkid]

I can't believe it but after Nicky and Ally's walk scene, I think I'm starting to warm up to them? It was kind of sweet. I especially like Ally, his acting comes off more believable to me.

Besides, initially, I worried the writers are just copying Robron but Nicky and Ally seem to have a different dynamic.

[rileychester]

Do Nicky and Ally even have a shipper name?

I mean it’s way too early and ED has only done bare bones with that pairing.

But the only thing I can think of is a mashing of their names and coming up with Nally.
