Emmerdale welcomed back a familiar face to the village as Jai Sharma's (Chris Bisson) mum unexpectedly arrived for his wedding to Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy).
However, it was far from the happy reunion as the pair were at loggerheads as soon as she stepped out of her taxi.
Her arrival came as Jai discovered that his dad Rishi (Bhasker Patel) had been keeping the huge secret that he was adopted. Jai was already struggling with the ongoing rift, and his mum's return added more fuel to the fire as he accused her of hiding secrets about who his real dad is.
Jai's mum was eager to fix the broken relationship between Rishi and Jai, but it soon ended in a screaming match in the village when a drunk Rishi made an awful comment about Laurel's abortion.
It's been a while since we've seen her in the village, so who is Jai's mum in Emmerdale?
Who is Jai's mum in Emmerdale?
Jai's mum is Georgia Sharma, recast and now played by EastEnders legend Lin Blakley, better known as Pam Coker in the BBC soap.

It was revealed that Jai was born after a one-night stand between Georgia and an unknown man. Rishi then adopted Jay in October 1975 and raised him as his own.
