Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale schemer Amit Sharma could cause big trouble for Eric Pollard in a new storyline twist. Amit decides to make an unexpected offer to Eric next month, which is sure to spark suspicion over his true intentions.
In upcoming scenes, Amit is curious when he learns that Eric is one of the wealthiest residents of the village. Before long, Amit swoops in to offer Eric a business opportunity, hyping it up as one that’s not to be missed.
The show has previously revealed that Amit isn’t to be trusted, so could he be trying to manipulate Eric with a con? Only time will tell.
Last week, Amit’s sinister side was revealed as he consulted with his solicitor in a secret meeting. Amit boasted over the progress he was making as he tried to make amends with his family.
Amit confirmed that the death of his brother Rishi had proved financially lucrative for him, getting him “out of a bind”. His solicitor agreed that it seemed “massively convenient”.
“Every cloud [has a silver lining],” Amit added, seeming smug over his own behaviour.
Amit’s remarks sparked fresh fan speculation over whether he deliberately killed Rishi when they argued at the top of the stairs at Holdgate last year. The businessman had always previously claimed that this was an accident.
Meanwhile, Eric has recently been taking centre stage in his own big storyline, as he revealed that he’d been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease last November.
Emmerdale‘s producer Laura Shaw said at the time: “When Eric Pollard is diagnosed with Parkinson’s he’s naturally very scared and unsure of what the condition means for his future.
“The unique position of a show like Emmerdale means we can tell this story really authentically over a long period of time and we can really shine a light on what a diagnosis like this means and follow Pollard on his journey of learning to live with it.
“Working closely with Parkinson’s UK, who have been guiding us through every step of the way, we hope seeing Pollard’s story helps to raise awareness of Parkinson’s and show the day to day reality of those living with it, as well as the impact it can have on friends, family and the local community.”
