As Laurel has a passionate encounter with Charles, all the bad romance choices she’s made!
She’s had her fair share of disasters!
Laurel and Charles had an unexpected and very passionate encounter in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale. One minute they were yelling at one another and the next, they were snogging the faces off each other.
Frankly, we’re not sure how we feel about this, erm, liaison. Charles just appears to be yet another bad decision on Laurel’s part. And she is no stranger to hooking up with the wrong blokes.
We’re not sure where Laurel and Charles is going but in the meantime, here’s our round up of Laurel’s dreadful taste in men!
Bad timing with Marlon Dingle
This is a bit unfair, really, because other than an emotional kiss with dying ex-wife Donna, Marlon really didn’t do anything wrong. But he was definitely the wrong man for Laurel at the wrong time.
When they first fell for each other, she was still married to Ashley and she and Marlon agreed to put their feelings aside.
But after they split, she and Marlon got together and planned their wedding. Once they’d tied the knot though, having dealt with Laurel’s carjacking, and the death of Donna, Laurel began descending into alcoholism. Her behaviour led to the break-up of their marriage.
A stranger in a bar
When Laurel was at the lowest point of her addiction, she went off drinking in a bar, and flirted with a stranger in order to get him to buy her booze. She ended up spending the night with him, and it was after that she realised she needed help to kick her drinking habit. So in some ways, he did her a favour!
Making mistakes with Bob Hope
We’d have expected it from serial cheat Bob, but everyone was surprised when Laurel succumbed to his charms back in 2018, when he was with Brenda. Laurel was still grieving the loss of Ashley, and turned to his best friend for comfort – blowing apart his family and hurting her own in the process.
Bob and Laurel never really had any proper chemistry. They quickly realised their romance was a mistake, though too late to spare any hurt or save Bob’s marriage, and it was no surprise when they split.
Marriage to Jai Sharma
They were quite sweet at first, were Jai and Laurel. Two former addicts, both single parents, both with (a lot!) of baggage. They muddled through tough times including terminating Laurel’s unplanned pregnancy, and seemed to be making a success of their blended family.
But then Jai’s lies, schemes and deceptions caught up with him. Of course, Laurel had already forgiven him for his financial fibs but lying about what happened to Amit, and scamming cousin Suni out of his share in the Hide was a step too far. Enough was enough – Laurel called it quits and Jai is FUMING.
Laurel and Charles Anderson in Emmerdale
She may have a thing for vicars but we’re pretty sure Charles is not the one for Laurel. We can’t see Laurel and Charles making a go of things. After all, he’s fickle, opinionated, and the only woman he really pays attention to is his mum, Claudette.
We’re very much hoping their afternoon delight was just a rebound thing and not the beginning of yet another doomed romance for Laurel!
