**Emmerdale Jai Plays Dirty as Laurel’s Divorce Takes an Unexpected Turn**

In a dramatic turn of events on “Emmerdale,” Jai Sharma and Laurel Thomas’s divorce takes a bitter twist as tensions reach new heights. The fallout from their split has already been intense, but next week’s episodes promise to escalate the drama even further. With Caleb Milligan also getting involved, the situation is set to become even more complicated.

Since Laurel ended her marriage with Jai last month due to his incessant lies and a particularly hurtful argument where Jai insulted her late husband Ashley, the atmosphere has been fraught. The final straw came when Laurel suffered a heart attack, which led to her discovering Jai’s ruthless scheme to take his shares from The Hop. This revelation only intensified their ongoing conflict.

As Laurel and Jai continue to work together at The Hide, their personal and professional interactions become increasingly strained. In next week’s episodes, the drama takes a new turn when Laurel proposes to Gabby Thomas the idea of buying Jai’s shares in The Hide. Gabby is thrilled by the opportunity and soon informs Jai that his soon-to-be ex-wife is now a significant investor in the bistro, leaving him infuriated.

The situation grows even more tense when Jai and Laurel meet for mediation. During this session, Jai makes a shocking move that leaves Laurel reeling. He lies to the media, claiming that he has sold both Holdgate and The Tenants to pay off his debts, thereby leaving him with nothing to give Laurel in their divorce settlement. This deceit adds a new layer of complexity to their already volatile separation.

As Jai grapples with the consequences of his actions, Caleb Milligan steps in, advising him that he owes Laurel nothing. This advice only deepens Jai’s internal conflict about whether his actions are justified or if he is crossing ethical boundaries.

The upcoming episodes will reveal whether Jai will settle his divorce with Laurel fairly or if he will continue to play dirty, potentially leaving her with nothing. Fans should brace themselves for a rollercoaster of emotions as the fallout from Jai’s drastic actions unfolds.
