Laurel and Arthur are at war in Emmerdale spoilers

Life in the Thomas household is far from harmonious. Arthur is angry with Laurel for sleeping with Charles and she won’t forgive him for outing their affair to Jai.

It all kicked off after Laurel overheard Arthur bragging about sleeping with John Sugden. It was just a silly fib, made up to impress April, but Laurel didn’t realise. She publicly accused John of taking advantage of her son, and Arthur responded by revealing her fling with Charles.

Jai was horrified to realise Laurel had been sleeping with Charles, and now he’s on the warpath. We bet Arthur ever regrets opening his mouth!

Nicola sticks her nose in

With Laurel and Arthur’s relationship in turmoil, Nicola decides to try and help. Aka, get involved in matters that don’t concern her.

Nic speaks to Arthur and is able to coax a confession from him. She then steps in as his unlikely confidante, offering her advice and urging him to make things right with her mum. Okay, maybe her involvement isn’t so bad after all.

However, Laurel doesn’t see things that way. As far as she’s concerned Nicola has no right interfering in her family business and she lets her know that.

Later, there’s a breakthrough when Laurel and Arthur appear to be back on good terms. But is Laurel about to undo all of Nicola’s good work?
