Laurel and Charles are back together in Emmerdale spoilers

1. Laurel and Charles give into temptation, again

It’s the affair that’s taken viewers – and them – by surprise, but there’s clearly an attraction between Laurel and Charles.

Yesterday, Laurel came clean to best mate Nicola and admitted she’d bedded the local vicar. Nicola questioned why the fling had come to an end, which left Laurel questioning her feelings.

She and Charles later met up and agreed to end whatever was going on between them. But their pact to ‘just be friends’ lasts less than a day when Charles pays Laurel a visit…

2. Arthur busts Laurel and Charles

Unable to resist their animal urges, Laurel and Charles give into temptation again.

But their passionate clinch is interrupted when Arthur suddenly arrives back at Mulberry and catches his mum in a state of undress. We’re cringing for him.

Arthur is horrified to realise what’s been going on, but Laurel begs him to keep schtum. She doesn’t want anyone knowing about her new romance – particularly her vengeful ex Jai. But will Arthur agree to protect her secret?
