(Emmerdale: Gabby tells Jai she will buy him out as he wants to sell his shares in the hop)
Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) gets a huge shock in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale as Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) announces some news regarding his future at The Hide.
Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) demanded a divorce after she discovered that Jai had attacked Amit (Amil Goutam), had been blackmailing Pollard (Chris Chittell), and had conned Suni (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana) out of his inheritance.
Some might say that’s a fair reaction, but Jai is anything but fair.
Since Laurel dropped the D word, Jai has been determined to hit her where it hurts; withholding Archie from her, making her work life miserable, and giving her grief for asking for what she’s owed.

He was disgusted when Laurel dared ask that they divide their assets, and his scheming brain immediately set to work.
To play Jai at his own game, Laurel then found Gabby and put forward a savvy idea – to buy Jai’s shares in the Hide.
In this new video, Amy Wyatt (Natalie Ann Jamieson) is seen discussing Jai’s departure from the business. Gabby then approaches and tells Jai not to bother with looking for a complete stranger to buy his shares, because she’s going to do it instead.
As expected, Jai is arrogant during his reaction to Gabby’s news but as she heads off to the office, there is a look of doubt on his face.
Worried about losing in the divorce, Jai then creates another plan and, in the mediation, he tells Laurel that he has sold Holdgate and Tenants to pay off debts, meaning she gets nothing in this divorce.
It transpires that Jai isn’t entirely cold hearted as he shares doubts over this cruel move to Caleb Miligan (Will Ash), but he’s quickly reassured by his fellow entrepreneur that he owes Laurel nothing.
He’s bolstered by the idea that he’s in the right, but is Jai heading for a massive fall himself?
