Fans of Emmerdale have been eagerly anticipating the return of Arthur Thomas, and they won't be disappointed when he finally makes his way back to the village next week. It's safe to say that his presence will not go unnoticed, as he immediately takes Jai Sharma to task for his recent behavior.
For those who may have forgotten, Arthur has been spending some time in Australia with his family, which means he missed out on the drama back home. This includes the breakdown of his mom Laurel's marriage to Jai and her subsequent heart attack. It's a lot to take in, but Arthur is determined to make things right.
One person who definitely needs to be put in their place is Jai, who has been causing chaos at work and in his personal life. Fans will remember his shady dealings with Sunil and the fallout with Laurel. But it seems like his stepson is the one who will finally call him out on his childish behavior.
Arthur interrupts Gabby Thomas and her new flame Vinny Dingle's alone time, but it's all for a good cause. He wants to make sure Jai knows the impact his actions have had on Laurel and their family. And it looks like Jai may actually listen, as he is taken aback by Arthur's words.
But what does the future hold for Arthur now that he's back in the village? Before his departure, things were relatively quiet for him, especially after the death of his friend Heath Hope. And let's not forget about his short-lived romance with Marshall Hamston. Fans were heartbroken when Marshall left the village, and it seems like Arthur was too.
For those who may have forgotten, Marshall was facing homophobic abuse from his father, which led to Laurel taking him in. The two became boyfriends, but their happiness was cut short when Marshall left with his aunt. It was a sad moment for fans, and it's clear that Arthur still carries some of that pain with him.
