Emmerdale spoilers: Jai takes revenge over Laurel split

Jai Sharma has made a great big mess of his life lately and only has himself to blame, but Emmerdale spoilers for next week reveal that he might be about to make things worse.

Revenge is a dish best not served at all if you ask us, but Jai certainly doesn’t seem to think the same…

He decides to take all his hurt, bitterness and anger out on Pollard. But if he thinks that’s the way to win back Laurel’s heart, he could be very mistaken.

Jai and Laurel’s split hits hard in Emmerdale spoilers

Ever-hopeful Jai had thought Laurel’s reluctance to tell the children about their split meant she would eventually have a change of heart. So far he’s been left disappointed.

It’s all been a bit full-on for the family recently after Laurel discovered why Amit had really left town. And even though Jai told her Amit had killed Rishi and then given Jai his shares in the business as an apology, Pollard soon let slip that wasn’t the whole story.

Fuming Laurel was even angrier to find out Jai had pushed Amit down the stairs and then held him hostage. She insisted he tell Suni, Jai chickened out, Laurel called him spineless, Jai insulted Ashley, Laurel kicked him out then had a heart attack.

Even though Jai assumed the heart attack would bring them back together, in fact it cleared Laurel’s mind completely. She does not want to be married to him any more.

However, given the situation surrounding her health, she decided they wouldn’t tell the kids just yet. Jai moved into Archie’s room under the pretence of giving Laurel some space to recover and they all played happy families.

But soon enough Laurel told Jai they should come clean to the kids. She then asked him to move back to Holdgate. However she wasn’t expecting him to take Archie too (not sure why, really, he is Jai’s son) and it left her devastated.

Jai takes down Pollard

Next week, as the split is affecting both households, Jai decides to make himself feel better with a spot of revenge. Never mind that that’s what got him into this mess in the first place, he has Pollard in his sights.

Bitter Jai decides to bring Eric down with him and tells Brenda and Rodney exactly what Pollard did. They are very disappointed in Eric and make their feelings clear.

Later, there is some thawing between Laurel and Jai when it’s time for Rishi’s memorial. She agrees that Archie can move to Holdgate with him, despite her upset.

Is there hope for the future? Or will Jai take her kindness to mean more than it does?
