Emmerdale: From friends to enemies? Fans beg for Caleb scam Jai

Emmerdale has seen a lot of scheming as of late – with half the village seeming to be up to something.

Caleb is still forging ahead with his plan to get revenge on Kim, which involves building his own business empire on her doorstep.

Jai, meanwhile, is embroiled in his own scheme – as he is trying to avoid giving wife Laurel anything in their divorce.

The two men have come together in Emmerdale recently, but fans are hoping it’s all a ruse on Caleb’s side and that he’s actually scheming to scam Jai.

Jai and Caleb team up

Jai has made a lot of enemies in the village recently, so was appreciative to have Caleb as an ally.

During a mediation meeting with Laurel, Jai lied that he was skint and also demanded a share of Laurel’s house in the divorce.

Later, during a meeting with Caleb – who wants to create something to rival Kim’s Home Farm – Jai confirmed his intention to hide money from Laurel by saying: “I’m happy with the warehouse investment. I need to know where the money is going even if the courts don’t.”

Caleb appeared to support the plan, telling Jai to keep acting broke.

However, is there more to the business deal that meets the eye? Some fans think agreeing to go into business with Caleb is a big mistake, with many even hoping Caleb is indeed scheming and does the dirty on him.

And they could be right – with the most recent episode of Emmerdale showing Caleb smirk when Jai wasn’t looking. Is this a clue that Caleb has a secret plan?

Fans beg Caleb to scam Jai

Fans have taken to X to predict Jai’s downfall.

One viewer said: “Really hope Caleb does Jai over, needs to be brought back to reality,” with another agreeing: “Really hoping Caleb scamming Jai good and proper.”

Other viewers can’t believe how stupid Jai is to trust Caleb, with one writing: “Taking advice from Caleb on hiding his cash is one thing but having Caleb involved in hiding his money is beyond stupid imo, letting a fox into a hen house.”

Another fan added: “Jai is so STUPID! Why the HELL would he trust Caleb?” While a third said Jai had done “the dumbest trick by investing all his hidden assets with Caleb.”

Has Jai made a big mistake?
