Emmerdale spoilers: Laurel Thomas humiliated by son Arthur over Jai split
BETRAYED by Jai Sharma, Laurel Thomas was too hurt to continue their relationship.
Coming up in Emmerdale, however, the Hide café manager gets blamed for the split by her son Arthur.
Couples in the Dales are never really allowed a break and Laurel's (played by Charlotte Bellamy) relationship makes no exception.
In recent weeks, the character has been at loggerheads with businessman Jai (Chris Bisson) and even decided to call it quits after a shocking betrayal.
But in scenes due to air next week, it's revealed Laurel has never told her son Arthur (Alfie Clarke) what really happened between her and Jai and the 14-year-old has harboured some ugly thoughts.
A frustrated Arthur barks up the wrong tree and accuses his mother of sleeping with someone else and being unfaithful to Jai.

Whether Jai will be telling him the truth and nothing but the truth remains to be seen but the events leading up to Jai and Laurel's breakup are no secret to ITV viewers.
Fearing he may lose everything following a hefty fine, Jai fraudulently filed for a loan in Laurel's name, thus scamming her for a whopping amount of money.
He could have gotten away with it - if Kim Tate (Claire King) hadn't decided to put Mulberry Cottage up for sale.
