Laurel feels betrayed in Emmerdale

The strain of Laurel's lapse in sobriety is taking its toll on her relationship

Emmerdale's Laurel Thomas is stung in Wednesday's episode on ITV from 7pm (see our TV Guide for full listings).

Laurel's been to hell and back since making the decision to terminate her unplanned pregnancy.

The upset of it all pushed her to the very edge and saw Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) break her sobriety. It was a momentary lapse but it shook the stressed-out mum to the core.

Jai (Chris Bisson) was quick to lend his support and understanding. The pregnancy was his loss too - and he's also an addict in recovery.

But Laurel feels Jai's overstepped his support and is hurt to realise he doesn't trust her when she finds him checking for booze in her her water bottle.

Will his surveillance cause a massive row?
