Jai Sharma finally put in his place in Emmerdale – and fans are loving Steph for it
Jai was on the receiving end of a savage verbal beat-down
Fans of Emmerdale rejoiced last night as newcomer Steph Miligan made her mark by putting Jai Sharma in his place. This came as she scored a job working at her dad’s haulage business – a bit of nepotism effectively making her Jai’s boss.
After hooking up with Ross, she then clashed with Jai as he admonished her for ‘borrowing’ one of their trucks. Reading him the riot act, Steph showed that she wasn’t one to be messed with.
“I’m not a cog, I think I’m pretty much your boss,” a no-nonsense Steph snapped, “so if I decide to do something, I don’t need to get your permission first. Is that understood?”
Message well and truly nailed home, a humiliated Jai slunk off to lick his wounds. And Steph basked in her glory, winning the approval of a clearly-impressed Chas, who had witnessed the exchange.
Fans too, couldn’t get enough of Steph’s treatment of Jai.
Emmerdale fans cheer on Steph as she ‘roasts’ Jai
As the episode aired, fans took to X to celebrate Steph‘s victory over Jai.
“The way that Steph put Jai in his place! whewww,” wrote one fan.
“Steph roasting Jai in front of everyone,” applauded another with clapping emojis.
“Steph putting idiot Jai in his place,” laughed a third.
“I’d pack up and leave after that rinsing, Jai,” agreed another viewer.
Well, that told him.
Steph hooks up with Ross as his scheme with Jai goes awry
Elsewhere in the episode, Steph hooked up with Ross after he attempted to steal one of her dad’s trucks. Conspiring with Jai, Ross stole a van full of goods, which he unpacked in an isolated barn.
However, he got more than he bargained for when he opened up to find Steph lurking inside. After a simmering back-and-forth, the pair gave in to mutual attraction, and hooked up in the back of the van.
Foiling Ross and Jai’s scheme, she then drove the van back to the yard herself. The rest, as they say, is history.
