The ITV soap is set for a dramatic murder twist in the new year as Jai Sharma actor Chris Bisson dropped a major spoiler during a recent episode of Loose Women
Emmerdale fans are in for a shock as Chris Bisson, known for his role as Jai Sharma, hinted at an explosive twist on ITV’s Loose Women. The actor spilled the beans during a chat with panellists Jane Moore, Frankie Bridge, Linda Robson and Judi Love, revealing that viewers should brace themselves for a murder mystery coming to the village.
While discussing upcoming storylines with the panel, Chris teased some dramatic developments for his character: “I don’t know, you know. I’ve been a little bit quiet over Christmas but the producers said that bad Jai is back soon.”
As the conversation turned towards what makes an exciting role, he conceded that playing the villain can often be more engaging: “It gets a bit boring playing nice all the time, it’s not as interesting so I don’t really know.”
Chris also shared insights into Jai’s current predicaments, commenting: “He’s been robbed of anything from Caleb – Caleb has taken everything he owns so I suppose he is dangerous now because he’s got nothing to lose.”
Dropping a bombshell about future scripts, he divulged: “I’ve just seen a sniff in a couple of scripts I read before the Christmas break that he’s on someone’s case. Won’t surprise you but there is a murder in the village.”
Linda’s curiosity was piqued as she inquired, “Male or Female?” to which Chris cryptically responded, “Oh I can’t possibly tell you anymore. I just read a couple scripts where it looks like Jai is going to be trying to figure out who did it.”
In a surprising twist for Emmerdale fans, the iconic character Joe Tate is slated for an unexpected return during a dramatic flash forward sequence – marking his comeback five years after leaving the show, reports Leeds Live.
Ned Porteous, who brings Joe Tate to life, will grace screens in tonight’s Christmas Eve episode, and it has been disclosed that he is the mastermind behind Peter and Will’s scheme to topple his ex-stepmother, Kim.
Speaking about his return, Ned expressed his enthusiasm: “I’m so excited to be returning to Emmerdale. There’s a lot of unfinished business for Joe, and it feels like the right time for him to make a comeback.
He teased further developments, saying, “Joe has always been a character with a dark side, but there could be something much bigger at play here. Joe is back for a reason, and the devastation at Home Farm is just the beginning of a much bigger story. It’s safe to say the audience can expect fireworks this holiday season! “.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays
