Jai is out for revenge in Emmerdale spoilers

Laurel and Jai’s split is getting messier by the minute. The Sharma’s ego was massively bruised when Laurel called time on their marriage and he’s struggling to accept it.

But as far as Laurel is concerned there’s no going back. She can’t forgive Jai for what he did to Amit and Suni and wants a clean break.

Laurel’s divorce demand broke Jai’s heart, but it didn’t take him long to turn nasty. Since then, he’s trying all kinds of ways to make Laurel suffer. These have included deliberately taking Archie to live with him and verbally abusing Laurel in front of customers at The Hide.

Make no mistake, bad Jai is back! And he’s got plenty more misery in store for his former spouse.

Jai makes a horrifying discovery

Meanwhile, Gabby is excited when Laurel comes to her with a business proposition. She wants to buy Jai’s shares in the Hide, and Gabby is all in favour. But surprise, surprise, Jai is livid when he finds out what’s going on.

As Gabby unveils Laurel as the new investor, the red mist descends over Jai. As far he’s concerned this is yet another betrayal and he wants to make her pay.

Jai is already convinced that Laurel is on a mission to bleed him dry. We don’t really know where he’s got the idea from because if there’s one thing Laurel’s not that’s money-hungry. But Jai has got it into his head she wants his dosh and vows not to let that happen.

Later, the estranged couple head to mediation to try and work through things in a civil manner.

But there’s a shock in store Jai tells the mediator he’s sold both Holdgate and Tenants to settle his debts. It’s a cunning lie, of course, Jai still owns the properties, but he doesn’t want Laurel to know that. What a snake!

Jai’s intention is clear â€“ by making out he’s broke, he won’t have any money to pay Laurel. But will she fall for his latest fib?

Afterwards, the guilt is weighing on Jai as he catches up with Caleb. No stranger to deception himself, Caleb congratulates his mate and insists he owes Laurel nothing. But will Jai’s conscience allow him to continue this shameful scam?

4 Spoilers for tonight including Mandyâ€™s spiralling money woes and a pause in fighting for Jai and Laurel

Cash-strapped Mandy reaches crisis point in tonight’s Emmerdale spoilers. Will the beautician be forced to come clean to fiancÃ© Paddy about the extent of her money troubles?

Also in Emmerdale on Friday July 26, warring exes Jai and Laurel call a temporary truce to plan Rishi’s memorial. And concern is mounting for Belle following recent traumatic events.

Emmerdale spoilers: Mandy’s in deep trouble

Can Mandy just tell the truth for once? (Credit: ITV)

1. Mandy’s money problems escalate

Mandy fears she’s going to lose everything this week as her debts continue to mount. It’s all going on for the PampaManda owner, who’s set to tie the knot with Paddy soon. But she’s been hiding the truth about her financial crisis from her husband-to-be.

Business has been painfully slow at the salon and the lack of clients has meant Mandy’s had no money coming in.

Having kept the problem to herself for weeks, Mandy finally opened up to new BFF Rhona. She urged Mandy to be honest with Paddy and explain how bad things have got.

But in typical Mandy fashion, she thought she could sort things without Paddy having to find out. What’s that they say about pride coming before a fall?

2. Will Mandy confess all to Paddy?

As Mandy’s cashflow crisis deepens, she questions how much longer she can hide the truth.

Oblivious Paddy is cracking on with their wedding plans, with zero clue Mand’s so far in the red. The couple head to The Woolpack to discuss their big day. But will Mandy take the opportunity to ‘fess up before things spiral even further?

Honesty is high up on Paddy’s priorities. Having only just recovered from ex-wife Chas’s betrayal, how’s he going to react to the discovery that Mandy’s been keeping secrets from him?

Could her betrayal cause him to call off the wedding?

3. Jai and Laurel call a truce â€“ sort of!

Jai and Laurel’s divorce war could be headed for a ceasefire as the exes face a painful anniversary. It’s coming up to a year since the former couple tied the knot, and the same day that Rishi died.

Jai’s father’s lifeless body was discovered at the bottom of the staircase at Holdgate. It was thought Rishi had tripped and fell, but later revealed his brother Amit had pushed him.

The revelation set in motion a chain of events that led to Laurel and Jai’s break up, which has turned increasingly ugly. But despite all the recent rows, things seem vaguely civil when the pair meet to discuss Rishi’s memorial.

Just don’t bet on it lasting long.

4. Fears for Belle mount

Meanwhile, there’s growing concern for Belle’s wellbeing. The Dingles are on a mission to save her as they fear for her fragile state of mind.

But having ended her marriage to Tom, is that really enough to keep him away from her for good? Or is his worst yet to come?

Spoilers: Jai makes Laurel’s life hell as their divorce gets ugly

Jai and Laurel have split up and in Emmerdale spoilers for next week he’s still not taking it well. In fact, he wants to punish her as he’s under the misguided belief she is out to get him.

But as his behaviour starts to make others feel uncomfortable, will Jai rein it in?

Petty, petty, petty Jai (Credit: ITV)

The divorce is final for Laurel

Laurel told Jai their marriage was over after she found out what he had done to Amit. Jai made things worse by only giving her the PG version of events and when Pollard told her everything – including the broken leg and locking Amit in a cupboard – Laurel told Jai to come clean to Suni.

When Jai couldn’t do it, Laurel called him weak and ended their marriage. She then had a heart attack and Jai thought this would make her reassess her decision and they’d get back together.

Wrong.

In fact, it made Laurel more determined than ever to press ahead with their separation. They’ve now told the kids, Jai and Archie have moved out to Holdgate and last week things seemed civil between the exes.

So what’s happened this week?

Jai makes work difficult in Emmerdale spoilers

Well, it seems Laurel has brought up solicitors and Jai is not happy. Mainly he’s not happy at her insensitive timing as she mentioned them on their wedding anniversary, which is also the anniversary of Rishi’s death. Maybe sheÂ could have waited a day…

Angry Jai takes his frustrations out on Laurel at the Hide. He begins making her life difficult, especially when he clocks her and Nicola talking. He assumes they are plotting against him so sets out to punish Laurel first.

Jai makes belittling comments to his estranged wife, and makes things at work very awkward. So much so, the other staff also notice it and begin to feel uncomfortable. They’re frankly fed-up of having to listen to him!

Laurel stands up to Jai

Laurel stands her ground and insists she’s no pushover, but by this point Jai has got a real bee in his bonnet. He has decided that Laurel is out to get him. Jai believes she’s planning to take him for everything in the divorce.

Whether or not this is what she is thinking (we reckon likely not) Jai is determined to make sure it doesn’t happen. Can he put a stop to this imaginary plot? Or will Laurel decide he really is so petty she actually is going to rinse him in court?

Emmerdale spoilers: Jai takes revenge as he struggles with Laurel split

Jai Sharma has made a great big mess of his life lately and only has himself to blame, but Emmerdale spoilers for next week reveal that he might be about to make things worse.

Revenge is a dish best not served at all if you ask us, but Jai certainly doesn’t seem to think the same…

He decides to take all his hurt, bitterness and anger out on Pollard. But if he thinks that’s the way to win back Laurel’s heart, he could be very mistaken.

Jai and Laurel’s split hits hard in Emmerdale spoilers

Ever-hopeful Jai had thought Laurel’s reluctance to tell the children about their split meant she would eventually have a change of heart. So far he’s been left disappointed.

It’s all been a bit full-on for the family recently after Laurel discovered why Amit had really left town. And even though Jai told her Amit had killed Rishi and then given Jai his shares in the business as an apology, Pollard soon let slip that wasn’t the whole story.

Fuming Laurel was even angrier to find out Jai had pushed Amit down the stairs and then held him hostage. She insisted he tell Suni, Jai chickened out, Laurel called him spineless, Jai insulted Ashley, Laurel kicked him out then had a heart attack.

Even though Jai assumed the heart attack would bring them back together, in fact it cleared Laurel’s mind completely. She does not want to be married to him any more.

However, given the situation surrounding her health, she decided they wouldn’t tell the kids just yet. Jai moved into Archie’s room under the pretence of giving Laurel some space to recover and they all played happy families.

But soon enough Laurel told Jai they should come clean to the kids. She then asked him to move back to Holdgate. However she wasn’t expecting him to take Archie too (not sure why, really, he is Jai’s son) and it left her devastated.

Jai takes down Pollard

Next week, as the split is affecting both households, Jai decides to make himself feel better with a spot of revenge. Never mind that that’s what got him into this mess in the first place, he has Pollard in his sights.

Bitter Jai decides to bring Eric down with him and tells Brenda and Rodney exactly what Pollard did. They are very disappointed in Eric and make their feelings clear.

Later, there is some thawing between Laurel and Jai when it’s time for Rishi’s memorial. She agrees that Archie can move to Holdgate with him, despite her upset.

Is there hope for the future? Or will Jai take her kindness to mean more than it does?

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Laurel had a heart attack, Tom isolated Belle further

In Emmerdale tonight (Wednesday July 3) Laurel collapsed with a suspected heart attack, sending Jai into a spin. Meanwhile, Tom worked to get Belle further away from her family than ever before.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.

Laurel was very unwell (Credit: ITV)

Laurel collapsed after arguing with Jai

Jai and Laurel were still at loggerheads, but she was also struggling with twinges. Claiming it to be indigestion, Laurel dismissed it and agreed to meet Gabby in the Woolpack for lunch.

She then insisted Jai had to tell Suni the truth today – or she would. Jai went to see Suni and a half-naked Nicky answered the door. Once we got out of our daze over Lewis Cope’s gym-honed bod, we realised Jai was stuttering and stumbling over not actually wanting to see Suni after all. He was then completely thrown by Nicky’s comment that he was very important to Suni.

Jai found Laurel in the church and told her he couldn’t tell Suni. He begged her not to make him do it. But Laurel wasn’t having it and let rip.

When Jai took a swipe at Ashley, Laurel had had enough and told him he was a “sad, horrible, weak little man,” and ordered him to leave.

But after he went she struggled to breathe and collapsed to the floor. Fortunately Gabby located her in the church and immediately called an ambulance.

Over at The Hide, Jai was trying to talk to Suni, but Gabby’s persistent calls distracted him. When he eventually answered and found out what had happened, he rushed off – without having told Suni anything.

Laurel was being wheeled into an ambulance when Jai arrived and Manpreet explained they thought she’d had a heart attack. Suni reassured Jai Laurel was going to be okay, but he wasn’t so sure…

Tom isolated Belle in Emmerdale tonight

Also in Wednesday’s episode Tom tried to play the nice guy encouraging Belle to make amends with Charity. Charity later saw Belle and Piper out for a walk and told her: “You’ll always be our family.” Belle stormed off again, but Charity insisted she wasn’t going anywhere and would always be there if she wanted to talk.

Meanwhile, Tom was having a Zoom job interview where he was told the job was “extremely isolated”. He insisted his wife was really keen to move somewhere so out of the way as she wanted the quiet life.

He then told Belle they should go away on holiday and suggested Wales. He showed her a cottage miles away from anywhere and she agreed it would be “perfect”.

Perfect for him to gain total control, you mean Belle? Sure. Perfect.

Sarah flirted with Josh

At the garage Sarah was fixing Josh’s car and he got a little bit friendly. Turns out she quite likes the bad boy as she fluttered her eyelashes, but Moira broke the moment when she sent Josh on his way.

However, Josh later returned and wanted to treat her to lunch. Sarah agreed, but as they were leaving Moira and Cain arrived. Cain told him to push off.

Sarah told him he was embarrassing, she then laid into Cain and Moira and defended Josh. She insisted Matty “had the knife and stabbed Samson” so it wasn’t Josh’s fault. Cain did not look happy.

Charles and Caleb bonded in Emmerdale tonight

Upset Charles got a phone call telling him the police were dropping the investigation into Ethan’s hit and run. He told Manpreet he was going to talk to a lawyer before storming out in a state.

Caleb was listening in on what is clearly good news for him and Ruby. So he did the logical thing and took Ruby to the Woolpack to celebrate being in the clear. She felt very uncomfortable with the idea as she struggled with her guilt.

Charles was also drinking himself silly in the Woolpack. Ruby couldn’t handle it and left, so Caleb asked Charles to join him. He then took Charles home. Something which Ruby was NOT happy about. Will Caleb regret his latest move?
