Manpreet's may be heading for a spending relapse and sweet factory worker Laurel is watching her every move
EMMERDALE's Manpreet Jutla may be heading for a spending relapse after Laurel Thomas catches her using the company credit card.
The doctor – played by Rebecca Sarker – is left red faced when Laurel quizzes her on the spot in the sweet factory office.
Catching her off guard, Laurel says: "Manpreet sorry, before you go can I just check something?"
Manpreet tries to shake her off and follow Rishi out of the office to take part in a first aid training - but Laurel persists.
She says: "It's just, uhm, I'm doing the accounts and I noticed yesterday that you were using the company credit card."
And Manpreet claps back: "Is that a problem?"
Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) already had her suspicions after seeing the credit card left on the office desk, after walking in on Manpreet in last night's episode.
So she makes a point by adding: "No, not if you were buying something for the company it's just I need to make note of it."
But Manpreet shrugs her off, and says: "Like I said, I really don't have time at the moment.
"But don't worry, I'll sort it."
As Manpreet rushes off, Laurel is left speechless - but looks extremely suspicious.
Laurel will later confront Manpreet about her use of the company card again - but Rishi's son Jai already knows about her money troubles and will take the blame.
Jai – who is played by Chris Bisson – has so far kept quiet about her secret, sympathising with her as he battled drug addiction in the past.
He even referred her to a support group which left the GP promising she was going to mend her spend-thrift ways.
Despite helping her out, Jai has warned Manpreet that he’s watching her and won’t let her hurt his dad.
Meanwhile Emmerdale fans think that Jai and Manpreet are gearing up to have a steamy affair.
Taking to Twitter viewers have voiced their thoughts about a potential flib between the pair. One fan wrote: “Anybody else sensing a Jai and Manpreet secret affair coming?"
Another added: “Jai and Manpreet affair on its way by looks of it, cause apparently everyone has affairs.”
