Emmerdale airs tense scenes next week as Jai Sharma edges dangerously closer to the truth about Anthony Fox’s death.
The ruthless businessman targets Steph Miligan when she’s at her most vulnerable following the recent revelations about Anthony.
Steph recently discovered that her grandfather Anthony was in fact her biological father, as he’d sexually abused his daughter Ruby when she was a teenager.
In emotional scenes, Ruby told Steph the upsetting truth about Anthony’s abuse and how it ultimately led to her killing him in January.
Since then, the story has taken a new turn as Jai has started to get suspicious over Anthony.
Jai is acting out of resentment towards Ruby’s husband Caleb. Annoyed over their past spats, and Caleb not pulling his weight at work, Jai is determined to cause trouble for him.
Next week, as Steph struggles to cope with the truth about her paternity, Jai spots that she’s upset at work. Although he doesn’t know why, he takes advantage of the situation to coax information out of her.
Jai notes with interest that Steph seems to react strangely to every mention of Anthony’s name.

Convinced that he’s onto something, Jai boldly pushes her for details.
Steph is saved when Caleb suddenly appears and interrupts the conversation.
Caleb thinks quickly by coming up with yet another cover story for Anthony’s disappearance, but will Jai believe a word of it?
Georgia Jay, who plays Steph, recently spoke about her character’s loyalty to Ruby and Caleb now that the truth is out.
She said: “Steph would definitely not throw her parents under the bus, that’s for sure. I don’t think she’d want anyone going down for it.
“In terms of whether she’d be able to cope, it’s a hard one because in those circumstances you’re not going to rock the boat anymore.
“You’re dealing with something on such a large scale, so sending people down for murder or trying to focus on that avenue wouldn’t really help you that much.
“It’s a hard one because I don’t think anyone would cope massively well. But I definitely think Steph would stay true to her family.”
