ITV Emmerdale first look sees Jai Sharma receive mysterious text after DNA bombshell

Emmerdale is set for explosive scenes next week when Jai Sharma receives a mysterious text message.

Last year, Amit Sharma made his debut as the father of Jai and Suni headed to the village after a recent DNA bombshell. It comes after Suni found out Jai was his brother and not his cousin in a recent episode, after Suni’s father had an affair with Jai’s mother Georgia. Georgia fell pregnant, and Rishi Sharma helped her raise his brother’s child, claiming Jai to be his own son.

Only recently, Amit’s son Suni was left reeling once again after learning that Amit was there when his brother Rishi died, who had been found dead at the bottom of the stairs in a supposed “accidental fall”. Amit has insisted he’s not responsible for Rishi’s death and that it was a tragic accident but Suni had been left wary over his dad. Jai has since found out that Amit was there when Rishi died with the two feuding ever since.

In upcoming scenes, Suni pretends to Jai that Amit won’t be at his birthday party to which Jai confirms his attendance. Later, the party gets going and Suni is delighted with Nicky and Ruby’s celebrations for him.

However, things take a dramatic turn when Amit arrives and after a tense interaction, Amit agrees to leave the party. Before he leaves, Amit presents Suni and Jai with a mysterious envelope. The duo are shocked to learn that in the envelope is Amit’s will, which states that Jai and Suni will receive his shares in the HOP after his death. Yet things take an even more strange turn later when Jai reads a mysterious text message as his mood darkens.

It comes as Amit star Anil Goutam recently teased a big secret could be on the way while he did not go into detail. Speaking to The Mirror and other press, former EastEnders star Anil teased “dark” scenes for his character, and hinted at big moments ahead.

He said: “So I guess he’s the sort of person who you’ve only seen one aspect of him and he has a side to him. He’s quite dark as he has a darker side to him, but not in his own mind. I don’t think [he sees it] in his own mind. He does what he does to protect his family, but it’s what he thinks is the right thing to do to protect his family. I think he can convince himself of pretty much anything being the right thing to protect his family.”
