Silent Witness fans in tears as they make urgent demand for Nikki Alexander

Silent Witness enthusiasts were left reaching for the tissues and making impassioned appeals following a poignant scene involving Dr. Nikki Alexander. The beloved BBC series made its comeback to our screens this evening (January 20), with the Lyell team embarking on a mission to uncover the remaining parts of a woman's body after her hand was found in a canal.
Nikki found herself entwined in the complexities of criminal justice. In a courtroom scene, a male lawyer suggested that the victim's fall caused her injuries to be accidental, but Nikki contended that the bruising pointed to deliberate harm. The plot thickened as it was disclosed that the victim was a missing female barrister named Faith, and suspicion fell upon a mysterious man called Stefan, who had previously been pestering her.
In an emotional moment, Nikki informed Lucy, Faith's partner, about the grim discovery but held onto hope that Faith might still be alive. She revealed that she discovered DNA on Faith's hand that could belong to someone else and expressed her intention to swab Faith's son Josh to rule him out, reports Plymouth Live.
Lucy, overwhelmed with emotion, turned to Nikki and asked: "What do I say to him? How on earth do I tell him?" Nikki, visibly moved, assured her: "I promise we're doing everything we can to find Faith.". As Nikki interacted with Josh, fans took to social media, urging that Nikki should have her own children in future episodes after witnessing the tender exchange.
