Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) revealed his plan to make biological father Amit Sharma (Anil Goutam) pay in tonight’s Emmerdale (Wednesday 27th March 2024).
One-time con-man Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) knew instantly that Amit was trying to scam him out of his wealth in recent scenes, and he tried to prove the other man was dodgy by searching his home.
Unfortunately, when Pollard was caught out, Amit threatened police action, while Jai appeared to pity him due to his Parkinson’s diagnosis.
Life went on as normal for Jai and his family, and Amit paid him a visit at home to plant the seed that Pollard was more unwell than they thought.
But Jai noticed when Amit dodged a call and acted shifty, although he seemed taken in by Amit’s explanation.
Meanwhile, Pollard, Rodney Blackstock (Patrick Mower) and Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) discussed the dead end in their detective work, but the trio were convinced that Amit was behind brother Rishi Sharma’s (Bhasker Patel) death.
This was something that Jai had also suspected and Emmerdale had already hinted at, before Jai concluded that he had been wrong.
At the Hide, Amit told co-owner Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) that he would drop off the safe contents at the bank, and Jai agreed.
We then saw Amit in another roadside meeting with loan shark Dee (Claire Cage), as he handed her the money from the Hide’s takings. The woman was not impressed that she hadn’t been paid in full, insisting that his debt now had interest rates.
Amit replied that he could get all the cash she needed from his family business – but he was unaware that Jai was watching nearby.
Later, Jai returned to work, failing to confide in wife Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy). Amit arrived next, looking dishevelled as he lied that he had just been mugged for the takings!
Jai kept quiet about what he knew, but paid a visit to Pollard, revealing that he knew Amit was a liar, a con-man and a thief.
The pair dreaded to think what Rishi had been through during his final moments, as it was clear that Amit was capable of murder.
“I knew it. I felt it. Amit has had us all in his sights,” said Jai, who planned to make Amit pay.
“He’s not going to know what’s hit him!”
