As Jai Sharma’s (Chris Bisson) world continues to fall apart in Emmerdale,

he turns his attention back to Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy), targeting

her on the day of Rishi’s death.

Rishi died suddenly last year after falling down the stairs. At first, we were led to believe he died due to a tragic accident, but then his brother Amit arrived.

It was eventually revealed that Amit pushed Rishi down the stairs after an argument about business and money. When Jai discovered the truth and the fact his biological father was actually a corrupt businessman, he got revenge.

Jai held Amit hostage at Holdgate and then told him to leave the village for India without saying goodbye to anyone. This secret was exposed to Laurel a few weeks ago and because of the overwhelming stress, she then experienced a heart attack afterwards.

While at work, Lauren grows frustrated when Jai slithers in and starts making things difficult.
