Emmerdale star’s death sparks Jai’s emotional response | Emmerdale spoilers 29th July – 2nd August

Jai Sharma’s world unravels in Emmerdale as he struggles to cope with the death of Rishi Sharma. Rishi’s sudden death last year, initially believed to be a tragic accident after a fall down the stairs, was later revealed to be the result of an altercation with his brother Amit. The truth came out that Amit had pushed Rishi during an argument about business and money, and that Jai’s biological father was a corrupt businessman. Jai exacted his revenge by holding Amit hostage and forcing him to leave the village for India without saying goodbye.

This revelation took a toll on Laurel Thomas, who suffered a heart attack due to the overwhelming stress. Despite this, Laurel has repeatedly told Jai that they cannot reconcile due to his behavior. Next week, tensions escalate as Jai confronts Laurel after she mentions solicitors on the anniversary of Rishi’s death and their wedding. Jai’s anger and frustration boil over, leading him to make life difficult for Laurel at work.

As Jai continues to belittle Laurel, the atmosphere at work becomes increasingly uncomfortable for their colleagues. Jai accuses Laurel of planning to take advantage of him in their divorce, which quickly becomes village gossip. The ongoing conflict between Jai and Laurel reaches a boiling point, leaving everyone wondering if things will get even worse for Jai.
