Emmerdale viewers 'really hurt' by Jai's drugs bombshell but predict Laurel reunion

Emmerdale viewers were not happy on Thursday evening as Jai Sharma almost started using drugs again.

The second instalment of the ITV soap, which began at 8pm, showed Jai Sharma pull out a bag of cocaine in his car and go to use it.

Jai (Chris Bisson) is not in a good place after his partner Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) found out about his financial woes and the fact that he took a loan out in her name.

He's also not on the best of terms with his father Rishi (Bhasker Patel) and sister Priya (Fiona Wade) after he suggested to them that they sell the house in order for him to gain access to his share of the money.

Falling back into bad habits, Jai went and picked up some drugs and was seen preparing to sniff it in his car but he was interrupted by his young son as well as Laurel's son.

Jai looked panicked at the thought of almost being caught by the boys and tried to convince them that he'll sort things out with Laurel.

Emmerdale viewers were not impressed with the scenes and the fact that Jai was about to fall off the wagon.

One person tweeted: "I'm not even joking but watching Jai rack up in his car has really hurt me #Emmerdale."

Another said: "Are you really that stupid Jai?? Glad you got rid of it #Emmerdale."

A third person posted: "Jai don’t be so fu*king stupid!!!! #Emmerdale."

Other viewers predicted that Jai and Laurel will get back together - despite her being so angry with him for deceiving her.

"Laurel is still angry with #Jai which means, She’s going to forgive Him eventually! #Emmerdale," one Emmerdale fan claimed.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
