Emmerdale’s Jai Sharma discovers the outrageous truth about Kerry Wyatt’s wedding next week, and wastes no time before leaning in for a kiss. Does Kerry feel the same way about Jai, or is he getting carried away with himself?

Kerry has just shocked the villagers by tying the knot with unlikely partner Eric Pollard, much to the dismay of Jai after his own recent romantic connection with Kerry. Viewers know that Kerry’s nuptials were a financial scam, as she wanted to help Eric protect his assets and provide as much as possible for his grandson Jacob Gallagher.

 

 

Next week, Kerry ponders an unexpected consequence of her wedding. She’s noticed that Jai is visibly upset over her decision, even though they’d already reached an agreement not to take their recent fling any further.

Deciding to put Jai in the picture, Kerry brazenly admits to him that her wedding to Eric was purely a financial arrangement.

Jai couldn’t be happier as Kerry explains her motives in detail, clarifying that Eric wants to bend the rules so that Jacob’s inheritance isn’t eroded by tax payouts.

The smug businessman assumes that Kerry is telling him everything because she has feelings for him, so he leans in for a kiss. But will things really go as Jai hopes?

“I don’t think Kerry realised how much Jai did care about her,” Laura Norton, who plays her, recently explained. “She knew she just didn’t have the time and space for that relationship at that moment.

“Then all of this stuff came up with Eric and she just felt like it definitely wasn’t the right thing. But then she starts to see how much Jai is wounded by the fact that she’s now with Eric. Jai’s a bit jealous and she’s just like: ‘Why?’ And then she confesses everything to him…”

She added: “Kerry and Jai have hated each other for years. She worked under him at the factory and they were always bickering. They come from two completely different worlds and now she works up at the depot and it is the same sort of dynamic.

“There was this moment when they both got to look at each other in a different way. It was a massive surprise to both of them and for the fans. I had quite a lot of messages on social media with people just saying: ‘I don’t know why, but that really works’.

“Kerry brings out a nice side of Jai. I think that’s why he’s attracted to her, as he’s been very doom and gloom and everything she does is a joke. Jai had stuff going on with his son, so Kerry genuinely tried to help and suggested things to him. I think it changed his attitude towards her..

“As to what will happen in the future, watch this space. Who knows? But it did surprisingly work well.”
