Laurel Potts married Ashley Thomas in Classic Emmerdale on Tuesday August 6. As she goes through a messy divorce from Jai Sharma in current Emmerdale episodes, it got us thinking about her one true love – was it Ashley?
They married twice, got through some dreadful things and were together until his end. If that’s not soulmates, then what is?
Here’s their history together as we remember the good times, the bad and the very ugly for Laurel and Ashley Thomas.

Unrequited love
Laurel fell for Ashley quite soon after her 2002 arrival in the Dales. But he didn’t feel the same and firmly friend-zoned her.
He was dating Louise Appleton at the time, but it was clear they weren’t really in love with each other. They were involved in a car crash during a storm in 2004 and nearly died. It made them reassess things and they realised they weren’t right for each other, so parted ways as friends.
Laurel then nursed Ashley back to health following the accident and he started to develop feelings for her. They grew close and eventually started dating.
However Laurel decided to leave to do volunteer work in Tanzania. Ashley tried to stop her by proposing, but she still went.

Laurel and Ashley Thomas in Emmerdale: engaged and married
When Laurel returned, she agreed to marry Ashley, but the bishop refused them permission. He felt Ashley’s sordid love life was affecting his position in the church. So Ashley made a grand gesture and decided to quit.
But he soon realised he couldn’t live without his job and his faith. Laurel gave her blessing for him to return to the church and promised she would wait to marry him.
In the meantime she began confiding in curate Ethan Blake. He fell in love with her, but she rejected his advances. However, Ethan lied to the bishop that he and Laurel had kissed.
When the truth came out, Ethan left the village in shame and the bishop agreed to marry Laurel and Ashley.
As plans for the wedding run away and get bigger and bigger, Laurel just wanted a quiet, small wedding. And so it was, when Ashley read their bans out in church they decided to get married the same day!
Betty gave Laurel her own wedding dress, the bishop carried out the ceremony and the couple were pronounced husband and wife.

Tragedy for Laurel and Ashley
In 2007, Laurel gave birth to their first child together, Daniel. In the hospital she met Melanie Doland, who had also given birth to a baby boy.
Devastation hit when Laurel discovered Daniel dead in his cot a few months later. She moved out as she was unable to be around Ashley and even kissed Melanie’s husband, Greg.
However, before too long Laurel’s mum, Hilary Potts suspected Melanie and Greg’s son was actually Laurel and Ashley’s. She refused to let it go, despite Laurel’s pleas for her to stop betraying Daniel’s memory. A DNA test eventually proved Hilary right and there had been a baby swap at the hospital.
Laurel still wanted nothing to do with her son, despite Ashley starting a custody battle. He told his wife he would raise the boy alone if she didn’t attend the custody hearing. She went and they won, but Laurel found it hard to bond with Arthur. When she feared he had died, however, she soon realised how much she loved and accepted him.

Sally Spode causes trouble
Old flame Sally Spode almost came between Laurel and Ashley – and almost killed Laurel! Claiming to need support from the vicar, Sally ended up moving in with Laurel and Ashley and tried to take over Laurel’s role as wife and mother.
Soon, wanting Ashley for herself, unhinged Sally locked Laurel in the church while it was on fire. Laurel survived and so Sally tried to suffocate her instead. Although Laurel told Ashley her suspicions over Sally’s involvement, he didn’t believe her, so she left him.
However, when Sally made advances on him, Ashley realised his wife had been telling the truth and tried to win her back. Laurel then tracked Sally down to a block of flats where she found a shrine to Ashley. Laurel attacked Sally, but soon came to her senses and Sally was arrested.

Divorce for Laurel and Ashley
Things were tough for Laurel and Ashley and with Ashley’s dad, Sandy, living with them, she began to spend more time out of the house – and with a certain Marlon Dingle. It was clear they had a connection and it was just a matter of time before they couldn’t fight it any longer.
Ashley was desperately trying to make his marriage work and started taking his anger out on Sandy. Ashley became abusive to his dad and when Laurel caught him, she demanded a divorce.
In a weird twist of fate, Ashley was arrested and made homeless as Laurel stayed at the vicarage with the kids and Sandy. So Marlon asked him to move in with him – despite he and Laurel now being in a relationship!
Laurel and Ashley eventually found their way back to being friends.

Laurel and Ashley in Emmerdale reunited
Things between Marlon and Laurel did not work out. She became an alcoholic after Ross Barton car-jacked her and their marriage crumbled. It was only thinking that Ashley was dead after she saw him getting hit by a car that stunned Laurel into getting clean. So it was obvious her feelings for him had resurfaced.
Despite him being with Harriet, Laurel knew she wanted them to get back together. However what she didn’t know was that Ashley had been diagnosed with early on-set vascular dementia.
When Harriet and Ashley broke up, Laurel made her move. But Ashley rejected her and confessed his illness. He told her he loved her, but couldn’t be with her due to the future looking so bleak.
But despite his adamance that he wouldn’t allow Laurel to be his carer, she protested she loved him and wanted to be with him. He soon realised he couldn’t do it alone and Laurel was who he wanted to be with in his final days.
Laurel soon fell pregnant and decided to have a termination. She felt she couldn’t cope with her alcoholism and Ashley’s illness as well as a new baby. However she couldn’t go through with it and the couple welcomed baby Dotty in 2016. They also remarried.
Their union ended in tragedy (Credit: ITV)
Ashley dies
After the Hotton Bypass crash in 2016 and then Christmas, Ashley’s condition was rapidly deteriorating. The only option was to put him into a care home as he no longer recognised his family.
By March 2017, Ashley began coughing up blood and was diagnosed with pneumonia. Laurel was given the devastating news he only had days to live. She brought him home to die.
In early April, Ashley regained consciousness momentarily and recognised Laurel. She then went upstairs to get another pillow for him and he died peacefully. Laurel tearfully hugged his body as Sandy, Bernice, Gabby and Arthur all joined her.
She and Ashley shared a final moment when she fell asleep after his funeral. She woke up to find him talking to her on the television. They recalled their happy moments together and he said a final goodbye to the love of his life.

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?
He’s not happy (Credit: ITV)
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 she 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?

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?

Emmerdale tonight echoed the mood of the nation with Cain feeling fragile after drowning his sorrows following England’s defeat in the Euros.
And there wasn’t much cheer elsewhere in the village, as relationships crumbled left, right and centre.

Emmerdale tonight: Sam and Samson’s get-away plan thwarted
Having warned his son he’d have to run away in Friday’s episode, Sam confirmed his escape plans for Samson.
He’d booked a ferry, and would sell Samson’s late mum Alice’s wedding ring so he’d have some funds.
“You’re going away where no one can find you,’ Sam said – just as Lydia approached them.
She was furious to discover their plot and told her husband: “What about Matty? Samson’s just gonna leave the poor boy to rot?”
“Samson comes first. I’m getting him out of here… don’t try to stop me,” Sam bellowed back.
Later, Lydia challenged Samson, warning that running away might just make things worse for him – namely people realising he’d been lying.
“Samson Dingle goes on his hols, can’t be contacted… nothing suspicious there,” she mocked.
In a last ditch attempt to make her stepson do the right thing, she said: “Think about it… do you think you’ll be able to live with yourself, knowing someone else is inside because of what you’ve done?
“The only thing Matty is guilty of is defending himself against you.”
It did the trick as Samson headed to the police station and finally told the truth… Potentially good news for Matty, but a disaster in waiting or Sam and Lydia’s marriage?
Sam saw red, screaming at his wife: “Why the hell did you make him do this? Don’t you realise what’s going to happen to him? He’s going inside.
“I had it sorted, but you couldn’t have that could you?
“I’ll never forgive you for this.”
And Sam appeared ready to burn more bridges as he argued with Cain, who accused him of always being too soft on his son.
Cain then made the mistake of bringing up Alice as he declared “her son’s a deadbeat and her dad let it happen”.
With that, Sam took a swing at him… not many men would be brave – or in Sam’s case stupid – enough to try that!
Rose made her move on her ex (Credit: ITV)
Rose a thorn in Will’s side
Meanwhile at Home Farm, Will told Billy he knew that Kim had been covering for him and warned: “In future, do not do stupid stuff.”
“That was good of you, supporting the Missus,” Kim acknowledged.
Will replied: “I admit I’ve been hard on you… you should have put me six foot under.” Er, he does know what happened to her husband, Frank, right?
Later Rose revealed that she’d overheard the conversation and thanked Kim for her protection of Dawn.
And, in her own show of support, she declared: “I’m stopping the booze, I want to be a bit more present for Dawn and the kids.”
“At least the brandy bill will go down,” Kim deadpanned.
Of course, viewers know that Rose is up to no good and she was later on the phone to her mystery person, saying: “I got some Brownie points yesterday but I don’t know.”
Will interrupted the and Rose decided to up her game, telling him softly: “I still can’t believe I’m here sometimes with you, my daughter, my grandchildren.”
Then she planted one on her ex!
“What is wrong with you?” came Will’s response. “I did not encourage that… what was it, one moment of madness?
“You have to understand that I love my wife* and nothing is gonna stand in the way of that.”
*Wife? Or fancy car, big house and designer gear? The jury’s still out on that one, Will!
Laurel’s moving on
Jai was left feeling hopeful that he and Laurel can move past their issues after her heart attack, as she told him it was time to leave things in the past.Â
But what she actually meant by ‘things’ was their relationship.
“I think it’s time to tell the kids we’re splitting up,” she declared. Awkward!
What did you think of Emmerdale tonight?

Emmerdale tonight it was a double bill of episodes which saw Charles confront Caleb – and then admit defeat. Also two exits aired as Nicky and Suni left the village.
Here’s a recap of tonight’s Emmerdale.
Charles wanted answers, so Caleb told him lies (Credit: ITV)
Caleb confronted by Charles
Charles was snoring his head off on Caleb and Ruby’s sofa and neither Ruby nor Nicky were happy about it at all. “Have you gone absolutely mental?” Nicky shrieked, waking Charles up. He had a point, but maybe he should have lowered his voice.
Later, Charles was telling Caleb how grateful he is for all his support. Then he spilt his coffee all over the rug and insisted on cleaning it up. But while he was getting a cloth he pocketed a letter he spotted.
Charles then insisted on driving Caleb into Hotten for his meeting. But in fact, Charles drove him down a country path into the middle of nowhere. Caleb started to get concerned – took him long enough!
Somehow he agreed to walk with Charles and they ended up deep in the woods. Caleb tried to leave, but Charles got aggressive and demanded to know what happened to Ethan. He had found an invoice from the garage dated the day after Ethan’s accident and deduced Caleb was involved.
Caleb feigned ignorance and tried to talk Charles down. But he was having none of it and wanted answers. Caleb then confessed he ran Ethan over. He claimed Ruby knows nothing about it.
Charles threatened to report Caleb to the police, but Caleb insisted he had a water-tight alibi and he would deny everything. As Charles pinned Caleb up against a tree in a rage, Caleb begged him to calm down.
Charles eventually lost puff and told him to stay away from him and his family.
Defeated Charles returned home with all the fight gone out of him. Caleb then tried to cover his tracks and get their stories straight. But Nicky refused to lie. So where do the Miligans go from here?
Prisoner Matty decided to come clean (Credit: ITV)
Matty confessed in Emmerdale tonight
With Matty was cowering in his prison cell as his cellmate did press ups, Robbo came in and started intimidating him. But Les defended Matty and told Robbo to get lost.
However later Les offered some wisdom that Matty would be better coming clean rather than sneaking off with the staff and raising suspicions. He thought Matty was on methadone, but Matty then decided to reveal his actual secret.
Les was actually really interested and asked a lot of questions. He offered his support, but warned Matty other people might not take it so well. Has Matty done the right thing?
At the hospital, Gabby was quizzing Jai over why he and Laurel were arguing. But he wasn’t giving anything away. And when Laurel woke up he insisted he would do anything she needed to get her better.
He’d clearly forgotten her ultimatum, but Laurel hadn’t, especially when she realised he hadn’t told Suni. She insisted he had to do it today.
And when Suni came to visit Laurel Jai still couldn’t do it and so she told Suni everything instead.
As the fallout continued, Laurel confided in Nicola and said she didn’t think she could be married to Jai any more. He wanted to put it all behind them, but she had had enough: “I mean it this time. We’re done.”
So long and farewell to Nicky and Suni (Credit: ITV)
Nicky and Suni left in Emmerdale tonight
As Jai begged Suni for forgiveness, Suni was not in a forgiving mood at all. “I’m done with you,” Suni told him.
He then returned home to Nicky and told him what had happened. He said he needed to get as far away from this place as possible and begged Nicky to come with him.
Nicky, who had been wanting to leave for ages, had a change of heart and said he couldn’t leave his mum! However after finding out Caleb had lied to Charles, Nicky said he was done.
He then agreed to leave with Suni. They packed their bags, and their snacks, and Nicky apologised to Charles. Ruby caught them leaving and begged them to stay. But Nicky wasn’t budging on his decision. They got in the car and drove out of Emmerdale.
So it’s bye bye to Suni and Nicky as they drove off into the sunset.
It wasn’t how Mandy saw the evening going (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale tonight: Mandy caused trouble
Mandy was in a state as the beauticians is quiet and she doesn’t have enough work. Paddy tried to cheer her up suggesting they set a wedding date. She didn’t seem keen, worrying Paddy.
Paddy then wanted to double date with Marlon and Rhona – something else Mandy did not seem happy with. Especially when she saw what games Paddy was planning on playing.
It definitely wasn’t a scintillating evening as Mandy drunk more and more and then wanted to dance instead of play. She went on to insult Rhona, telling her she was up tight. Not a great foursome, then.

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 managed to push Belle and Charity apart again (Credit: ITV)
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.
Ruby was not happy with how Caleb was handling everything (Credit: ITV)
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?

Emmerdale star Charlotte Bellamy once “chopped off the top of her finger” while filming the soap. She was rushed to hospital whilst wearing a fake baby bump, causing all sorts of confusion!
Despite her character Laurel being the one with her fair share of dramatic moments in the Dales, this time it was Charlotte herself who had to go to A&E – and it still wasn’t that straightforward.

Emmerdale star Charlotte Bellamy in A&E dash
On Wednesday (July 3) Charlotte appeared on Lorraine. She was there to talk about Laurel’s latest storyline which sees her collapse unable to breathe. However, while chatting to host Lorraine Kelly, the soap star soon began to recall another perilous moment on set – but for her personally rather than for Laurel.
Charlotte explained to Lorraine: “So during filming, I was making a Bolognese, as you do, with a very blunt knife. And on the take, I chopped the top of my finger off.
“But at the time, I was pretending to be pregnant as Laurel, and so I had to get rushed into A&E with the prop man.”
It then turned somewhat farcical as members of the public became confused over her fake baby bump, mistaking it for a real one!
“They were so confused and worried about my baby,” Charlotte laughed, “but obviously my baby wasn’t real.”
She continued: “And I had to say ‘that’s not my husband’ and ‘this isn’t real’. But I had actually chopped the top of my finger off.”
Shame it wasn’t super-hospital Hotten General!
