‘Miss you' - Emmerdale star responds to Beth Cordingly as fans call for reunion
Lewis portrayed the role of Nicky Miligan from 2022-2024. He was initially introduced as a new nanny for the children at Home Farm.
As time ticked on though, we discovered Nicky had an ulterior motive while working under Kim Tate's (Claire King) roof. It was confirmed he's the son of Caleb Miligan (William Ash) and the two of them were working together to destroy Kim and Home Farm.
With Caleb being the son of Frank Tate, he believed he was entitled to everything that Kim owned. His plan proved the new character was utterly ruthless, as he forced Nicky to go ahead with wedding prep for him and Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham), despite knowing he was gay.
Life for Caleb and Nicky got even more complicated when Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly), Nicky's mum, arrived.
At the time, Caleb and Ruby were in the process of getting a divorce, but Ruby struggled to accept their relationship was close to ending for good.
Nicky departed the village last year alongside his new boyfriend. The dynamic between him and his parents completely crumbled when he learnt of Ruby's involvement in Ethan Anderson's death, and Caleb's attempt to cover it up.
With the Miligan clan still at the centre of the drama in the village, plenty of fans are still hoping Nicky will return.
And Lewis Cope is certainly missing life in the Dales, in particular seeing his co-star Beth Cordingly.
Recently, Beth shared a video of her in Brighton. She is dressed in a scarf and two rubber rings as she wanders down one of the coastal roads.
The clip has made plenty of her followers laugh including Lewis, who shared a 'Bonkers! Miss you x', message in the comments section.
Ruby and Caleb's other child, Steph (Georgia Jay), arrived in the village towards the end of last year.

I just wanted to see them walk out for the first time, do you know what I mean? And they came out holding hands - it is just a throwback for me. "It is just like for most people that love them, the nostalgia of it all... It's an emotional thing man." Article continues below Danny Dyer said the concert took him back to "the good old days, when life was slightly simpler".

Cardiff hosted Noel and Liam Gallagher in the Principality Stadium on Saturday and Sunday, for the very first shows of the Oasis '25 Tour. The brothers performed together after a 16-year hiatus and everyone agreed it was incredible. The group made their entrance to 'F**king in the Bushes' before launching into their opening number 'Hello'. The packed venue erupted in applause to welcome back the legendary band.

Emmerdale and Corrie times this week - full soap schedule amid ITV shake-up
Emmerdale and Coronation Street face a huge schedule change this week as ITV continue with their sports coverage. Here's when you'll find Emmerdale and Coronation Street on this week Emmerdale and Coronation Street fans face a huge shake-up this week as the soaps move times for the football. As usually happens, the soaps have been displaced this week on ITV to allow for the airing of various football matches. Those hoping to kick off their week with some Emmerdale and Coronation Street will be sorely disappointed as both soaps won't air on Monday due to back to back football coverage. The same will apply for Wednesday, with no soaps on. On Tuesday, viewers will be treated to a trip to the Dales whilst on Thursday, soap fans who love the drama in the Woolpack and the chaos on the Cobbles will get two full hours of soaps - one hour from each programme. Friday is the only day where the soaps will air as normal, with Emmerdale airing at 7.30pm and Coronation Street airing for its usual hour slot at 8pm. There will be no soaps on the weekend, despite 'missing' episodes. Usually we get three hours of Coronation Street every week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and three hours of Emmerdale every week (half an hour each day and an hour on Thursday). However, this week, we will only get two hours of Emmerdale and two hours of Coronation Street across the five days. This actually aligns more with the plans for the soaps from 2026. From next January, the soaps have been cut by half an hour each. Instead of airing at their current pattern, there will be a 'power hour' of soaps. Emmerdale episodes will air at 8pm, and Coronation Street episodes will air at 8.30pm. These will air in half an hour slots from 2026, meaning the soaps will be cut down by half an hour each each week. Kevin Lygo, ITV's Managing Director of Media and Entertainment, said: "This new pattern is in the DNA of the soap genre - nobody else does 30 minute drama this successfully. "It creates a soap power hour that's consistent, and easy to find in the linear schedule, for the UK's biggest soaps. This new commissioning pattern will mean five hours of soaps a week, rather than the current six. We are conscious this will have an impact for the people who work on the soaps team. We will support our colleagues in ITV Studios as they work through these changes, and will do what we can to mitigate the impact on our people." Tuesday: Emmerdale 7.30pm Wednesday: No soaps Friday: Emmerdale 7.30pm, Coronation Street 8pm

EastEnders fans spot 90s soap star as new Emmerdale villain
It comes as Joe Absolom, who played the role of Matthew Rose on EastEnders from the late 90s, recently joined Emmerdale as the newest villain, Ray, and viewers "hope he stays". He arrived in the Yorkshire Dales-set village recently, set to cause trouble as an old contact of Mackenzie (Lawrence Robb). Previously announcing the character of Ray, Emmerdale bosses shared what to expect about his early storylines, as they explained: "Ray arrives at the farm claiming to be selling farm machinery but it's not long before his true drug dealing ways become clear. "Despite Ray's calm and collected exterior, it's clear a menacing streak hides just below the surface." Producer Laura Shaw continued: 'Charming, charismatic and effortlessly likeable, Ray is an extremely complex character who very quickly shows his dark and villainous side to some of our most loved villagers, leaving them in no doubt as to what he's capable of." After releasing Joe is now starring in the ITV soap, EastEnders fans, who have been highly praising Joe on Reddit, have said it's brought back 'great old EastEnders memories'. Someone on the subreddit r/eastenders wrote: 'Look who is starring in Emmerdale! 'Joe Absolom (who played Matthew Rose) from 1997-2000 on EastEnders. 'He is now playing bad boy Ray in Emmerdale.' Referring to a picture of Joe on set, they added: 'The one on the left is Robert Sugden (who I just found out) are working together to nick cannabis on the farm.' This fan replied: 'Loved seeing him show up in emmerdale - will never forget him as matthew in the 90s.' Another commented: 'Matthew Rose from EastEnders great to see him again but this time he is in Emmerdale but I don't think he will come back to EastEnders, but I wish..' One person responded: 'Awesome to see that actor again! Brings back great old Eastenders memories.' Meanwhile, another praised: 'Matthew Rose is such an excellent actor.'

This viewer joined in on Reddit: 'He has changed so much. I saw him in one of the recent series of The Bay and kept thinking, 'I know him, who is he' but had to wait for the credits to place him.'
