Emmerdale: Charlotte Bellamy shares injury she suffered on set
Emmerdale's Laurel Thomas (played by Charlotte Bellamy) is set for more heartbreak in next week's episodes as her separation from Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) takes a bitter turn.
Last week, Laurel started to lose patience over Jai's refusal to be honest with his sibling about why Amit (Anil Goutam) left the village. When their argument starts to spiral out of control, Jai crosses a line by bitterly insulting Laurel's late husband Ashley.
But after their row, Laurel had a heart attack and was rushed to hospital. When she came around, Laurel told Suni Sharma (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana) of Jai's ruthless plan to take his shares of The HOP. Laurel also told Jai their marriage was over.
This week, Laurel is concerned when she realises that her choice doesn't seem to have sunk in for Jai, who still seems unusually positive about their marriage and thinks they will stay together.
Meanwhile, Laurel's stepdaughter Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham ) is also unhappy when Jai vows to continue living at Mulberry Cottage for a while longer.

The businessman argues that he's making this decision for the kids' benefit and wants to act like everything is normal while Laurel recovers from her heart attack - but her mind is made up.
In next week's Emmerdale, Jai's delusions continue as he remains optimistic that he can salvage his marriage and move on from their separation.
But Jai's mood swiftly changes when Laurel insists that it's time to tell their children that they'll be divorcing, and their marriage is over.
