It’s been a tough few months for Jai after his biological father Amit arrived in the village last year.

In March, Jai teamed up with Eric to prove that Amit must have had a hand in Rishi Sharma’s tragic death last year. After a tense confrontation, Amit eventually admitted that he’d killed Rishi to get his hands on the family inheritance.

Months after Amit’s departure, Eric began blackmailing Jai by repeatedly demanding free food and drink at The Hide in return for his silence.

Jai’s troubles were heightened further when he broke up with his wife Laurel Thomas earlier this month. The couple’s split comes after their recent rows over Amit’s departure and Jai’s betrayal of his half-brother Suni.

In scenes set to air next week, Laurel and Jai’s split continues to upset both households. After initially being in denial over Laurel’s decision to end things, Jai is forced to accept that it’s over between them.

In the hope of making himself feel better, a bitter Jai decides to expose his recent schemes with Eric to a disappointed Brenda and Rodney.

How will Eric feel after Jai exposes the truth?

Jai actor Chris Bisson spoke earlier this year about the re-emergence of his character’s dark side following his revenge on Amit.

“[This] has changed something inside him, and going forward the way he views life and people and relationships may well be affected. Certainly, the way he treats business will probably be affected too,” he said.

“I think he is going to become a bit more ruthless. He feels he has been taken for a bit of a fool, and he feels like that is never going to happen again. So yes, maybe Bad Jai is back!”
