Emmerdale’s Lewis Barton takes on even more responsibility at the caf\u00e9<\/a> next week, when he creates an exciting new menu.<\/p>\n

Since his arrival<\/a>, the youngest Barton brother has caused quite a stir in the village, as well as forging an unlikely friendship with Nicola King and proving popular with her caf\u00e9’s customers. <\/p>\n

After saving the overwhelmed caf\u00e9 owner during a busy time a few days earlier, will Lewis now impress her with his new ideas? <\/p>\n

“Lewis is not only super popular with viewers, but he’s also much loved in the village,” our Emmerdale source explains.<\/p>\n

“His bubbly personality wins everyone over, and having gone to uni in Leeds, he’s got bags of menu ideas to bring a little bit of the city to the village.”<\/p>\n

With the menu a big hit, and the villagers coming to give it a go in droves, Nicola is delighted to see the new lease of life that Lewis has brought to the place. <\/p>\n

However, her joy soon sours when she remembers that Brenda Walker<\/a> still owns half of the business, so is benefiting financially despite not doing any work.<\/p>\n

“Brenda swanned off on a cruise and left Nicola in the lurch, so no wonder she’s fuming,” our insider adds. “Nicola thinks it’s not fair at all that she’s still cashing in.”<\/p>\n

The long-running character’s exit from the show aired in April<\/a>, as Lesley Dunlop bowed out from Emmerdale after 17 years.<\/p>\n

Brenda initially promised<\/a> that she’d be back after three months away, but she’s since been in touch with her ex-partner Eric Pollard to confirm that she won’t be returning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Soon, a new development absolutely blindsides Nicola \u2013 but what could it be, and will it help or hinder her? <\/p>\n
