Emmerdale spoilers: Jai and Laurel's divorce gets ugly

Jai and Laurel have split up and in Emmerdale spoilers for next week he’s still not taking it well. In fact, he wants to punish her as he’s under the misguided belief she is out to get him.

But as his behaviour starts to make others feel uncomfortable, will Jai rein it in?

The divorce is final for Laurel

Laurel told Jai their marriage was over after she found out what he had done to Amit. Jai made things worse by only giving her the PG version of events and when Pollard told her everything – including the broken leg and locking Amit in a cupboard – Laurel told Jai to come clean to Suni.

When Jai couldn’t do it, Laurel called him weak and ended their marriage. She then had a heart attack and Jai thought this would make her reassess her decision and they’d get back together.

Wrong.

In fact, it made Laurel more determined than ever to press ahead with their separation. They’ve now told the kids, Jai and Archie have moved out to Holdgate and last week things seemed civil between the exes.

So what’s happened this week?

Jai makes work difficult in Emmerdale spoilers

Well, it seems Laurel has brought up solicitors and Jai is not happy. Mainly he’s not happy at her insensitive timing as she mentioned them on their wedding anniversary, which is also the anniversary of Rishi’s death. Maybe she could have waited a day…

Angry Jai takes his frustrations out on Laurel at the Hide. He begins making her life difficult, especially when he clocks her and Nicola talking. He assumes they are plotting against him so sets out to punish Laurel first.

Jai makes belittling comments to his estranged wife, and makes things at work very awkward. So much so, the other staff also notice it and begin to feel uncomfortable. They’re frankly fed-up of having to listen to him!

Laurel stands up to Jai

Laurel stands her ground and insists she’s no pushover, but by this point Jai has got a real bee in his bonnet. He has decided that Laurel is out to get him. Jai believes she’s planning to take him for everything in the divorce.

Whether or not this is what she is thinking (we reckon likely not) Jai is determined to make sure it doesn’t happen. Can he put a stop to this imaginary plot? Or will Laurel decide he really is so petty she actually is going to rinse him in court?
