Emmerdale’s Charlotte Bellamy has appeared to have confirmed her character Laurel Thomas’ fate.

In upcoming scenes on Wednesday night, Laurel collapses and is rushed to hospital following a hurtful row with husband Jai Sharma. Appearing on Wednesday’s Lorraine to talk about the storyline, Laurel star Charlotte, 51, teased the cause behind her character’s collapse and hinted at her fate, including with on-screen husband Jai.

Showing a teaser clip of Laurel and Jai arguing, Charlotte teased: “She collapses at the end of this episode due to the stress. She’s been pretty stoic about it but she’s had enough” with host, Lorraine Kelly, adding: “She’s had enough and her body just said: ‘No, I can’t handle this anymore.'”

At the end of the interview, Lorraine, said: “I hope she’s okay…” to which Charlotte teased: “Yeah, I hope she’s okay… but I think she’ll pull through. I don’t know about her and Jai though…” In recent scenes, Laurel confronted husband Jai about his and Eric Pollard’s suspicious behaviour. Soap fans will recall that Eric is blackmailing Jai over what happened with his biological father, Amit, earlier in the year.

Jai made Amit leave the village and he also made him cut other son, Suni, out of any ownership of the HOP, signing over all the shares to just him. This week, Jai admits to Laurel that he can’t face telling his brother Suni the truth, leaving Laurel furious. It’s not long until their argument becomes heated on Wednesday and Jai insults Laurel’s late husband, Ashley Thomas, who died in 2017, as she sends him away.

Once alone, Laurel feels dizzy following Jai’s harsh words and betrayal to which she collapses on the floor. Laurel is left frightened and barely able to move with her phone ringing out but she’s unable to reach it. Thankfully, Laurel is found by stepdaughter Gabby Thomas, who is worried to find her stepmother struggling to breathe.

A terrified Laurel then asks Gabby to call an ambulance as she’s rushed to hospital. Will Laurel be okay and what’s caused her to collapse? Meanwhile, over at The Hide, Jai tries to build up to the conversation he needs to have despite his brother’s rambling. Incessant calls from Gabby cause Jai to snap, but he’s shocked to hear Laurel’s collapsed…
