Emmerdale Confirms Shock Romance as Kerry Wyatt Makes Her Move on Jai Sharma
Love is set to bloom in the most unexpected of places next week on Emmerdale, as sparks fly between Kerry Wyatt and her boss Jai Sharma. The pair, who until recently could barely stand each other, will share a passionate kiss that could leave the whole village talking.
From Enemies to Lovers
It all begins after a fiery confrontation leaves Kerry (Laura Norton) and Jai (Chris Bisson) trapped together at the factory depot. What starts as another round of sniping quickly turns into a surprising heart-to-heart. Forced to lower their guards, they discover they have more in common than they ever realised — especially when it comes to their children.
According to an Emmerdale insider, “A couple of weeks ago this pair could barely exchange a sneer, and now they’re enjoying a full-on snog session like their life depended on it. It’s Kerry who makes the first move, but it’s clear there’s been a growing fondness since they were trapped together.”
A Change of Heart for Jai
As their chemistry simmers, Kerry reminds Jai that he doesn’t always need to act like the “big man.” Her advice proves timely when his son Archie turns up at the factory, angry that Jai keeps putting work before family. Kerry, showing her softer side, helps Jai sneak away by pretending he’s ill — giving him a chance to spend some much-needed quality time with his son.
Later, Kerry surprises herself when she finds she can’t stop defending Jai during a chat with Lewis Barton and Jimmy King. Lewis quickly picks up on the spark and teases that Kerry’s feelings might run deeper than she realises.
The Kiss That Changes Everything
Spurred on by her own curiosity, Kerry decides to test the waters. When she and Jai find themselves alone at the depot, she subtly probes how he feels about her — and his answer leaves no room for doubt. Jai admits he finds her attractive.
True to form, Kerry wastes no time. “She goes all guns blazing and just snogs him,” the insider reveals. But before things can heat up further, they’re caught off guard when Dylan bursts in unexpectedly. Red-faced and flustered, the pair scramble to act casual, though their secret is already hanging by a thread.
