Emmerdale viewers believe they’ve figured out who Kammy Hadiq, played by Shebz Miah, is in cahoots with, and they’re pointing fingers at a past soap legend.

Kammy made his first appearance in the village back in March, quickly causing a stir. He initially caught the attention of Sarah Sugden, portrayed by Katie Hill.

Sarah managed to secure him a position at Cain Dingle’s garage, a character brought to life by Jeff Hordley. However, she soon found herself entangled in a love triangle involving Kammy and her former flame, Jacob Gallagher, played by Joe-Warren Plant.

As regular viewers will recall, Jacob ended his relationship with Sarah earlier this year following the tragic death of his mother Leyla, played by Roxy Shahidi, in a limousine accident.

Moreover, it has been revealed that Kammy has a penchant for minor criminal activities. In recent episodes, he has developed a close bond with Vinny Dingle, played by Bradley Johnson, reports Belfast Live.

This week, Vinny took Kammy to Home Farm to arrange a surprise for Gabby Thomas, played by Rosie Bentham. Kammy seized the opportunity to nick a phone with the intention of selling it.

He was later seen on the phone discussing the stolen item with an unknown person.

Now, fans are speculating that Kammy is collaborating with someone as he continues his criminal exploits – and they suspect it’s a former Dales favourite.

Online chatter among fans suggests that it could be Nikhil Sharma, a character formerly portrayed by Rik Makarem.

Nikhil arrived in the village back in 2009 alongside his brother Jai, played by Chris Bisson. He quickly became a beloved character on the soap, involved in numerous major storylines – from unexpected affairs to the demise of his wife Gennie, played by Sian Reese-Williams.

Fans reckon Kammy is in cahoots with Nikhil Sharma

Nikhil bid farewell to the village in 2013 following the tragic demise of Gennie, only to return in 2015 when his brother Jai found himself in a bind. He made another exit from the village a year later, in 2016.

Yet, amidst speculation and teases of plot twists, Emmerdale enthusiasts suspect Nikhil might reappear as part of a storyline involving Kammy.

On an Emmerdale fan page over on Facebook, one viewer expressed disappointment: “Disappointed that they’ve made Kammy into yet another villain. I thought he could have been a good bloke.”

Joining the conversation, another added their two cents: “I think there’s more to come with his storyline. Maybe he’s working with someone?” Prompting further intrigue, someone proposed: “Yes I think he’s in cahoots with someone, could be Nikhil remember him?”.

This theory was reinforced by another fan who reminisced: “Oh yes I do! I wonder if he could be coming back.” And a fifth contributor shared the same suspicion: “I thought the same.”

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
