Producer Laura Shaw says there is a difficult road ahead for the couple. <\/p>
This year is shaping up to be an eventful one for Emmerdale<\/a> fans, even if we\u2019re only in January.<\/p>\n Not only do they have Emmerdale\u2019s 50th anniversary<\/a> to look forward to in October 2022, with a whole host of special programming and storylines already in the works to celebrate, but producers Jane Hudson and Laura Shaw have been dropping hints of what\u2019s to come \u2013 and it sounds as dramatic as ever.<\/p>\n From \u201cmore heartbreak\u201d in store for the Dales\u2019 residents to the past coming back to haunt Moira<\/a>, there\u2019s much to look forward to.<\/p>\n And it seems like Jai (Chris Bisson) and Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) are in trouble too.<\/p>\n Laura Shaw spoke to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press about their relationship, teasing: \u201cThere\u2019s a difficult road ahead for Jai and Laurel.\u201d<\/p> She added: \u201cJai\u2019s desperation to sort out his money woes steps up a gear and he\u2019ll go to extreme lengths to cover the money he owes for the HOP fine \u2013 so will his relationship with Laurel be jeopardised?<\/p>\n \u201cWe know how Jai can struggle when he\u2019s on the back foot and not winning at life \u2013 so will this send him spiralling back to his old ways and will we see a darker Jai emerge from all this?\u201d<\/p>\n It remains to be seen whether the financial strain, and Jai\u2019s ruthless side resurfacing, will put too big a strain on the couple\u2019s relationship. The pair have certainly been on the rocks before and pulled through, so there may be hope yet.<\/p>\n Additional reporting by Johnathon Hughes.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Visit our dedicated\u00a0Emmerdale<\/a> page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.
