Emmerdale spoilers: Jimmy King accused of abusing Archie after being framed by Arthur
A dark storyline for Jimmy King will kick off in Emmerdale next week as he’s accused of child abuse.
The devastating accusations come after Arthur Thomas points the finger at Jimmy – actor Nick Miles - when Laurel and Jai find suspicious marks on the little lad.
They discover the bruises after a furious Arthur – who hasn’t taken to Archie at all – pushes him over on the pirate ship, leaving him unconscious.
But instead of owning up to causing the marks himself, Arthur concocts a story about Jimmy being responsible.
A furious Laurel and Jai storm over to Jimmy’s, who’s shocked by the accusations being made against him.
Meanwhile Laurel will be left wondering if her friendship with Jimmy’s wife, Nicola, will survive following the horrible allegations.
Will Jimmy be able to prove his innocence while Arthur continues his persecution of Archie?
Archie – who is Jai’s son with Rachel Breckle – arrived in the village back in September, following Rachel’s off-screen death.
He came back with Dan Spencer, who broke the news of Rachel’s death.
Fans however think that Rachel might not be dead at all.
