Arthur publicly accuses John of lying about his gender in Emmerdale, causing a major confrontation.

It was a tense and dramatic moment on Friday's episode of Emmerdale when Laurel decided to confront John about the rumors surrounding Arthur's claims of their intimate relationship. The situation quickly escalated into a public showdown as Arthur's lies seemed to be getting out of hand.

Ever since John's return from his trip to Australia, Arthur had developed a crush on him and was convinced that they had a chance together, despite their age difference and John's lack of interest. In an attempt to spend more time with John, Arthur asked him questions about his van at the garage, where his friend April caught sight of them.

Later on, when April confronted Arthur about his supposed sexual encounter with John, he didn't deny it. Unfortunately, Laurel overheard their conversation and was immediately angry and protective of her son. She stormed into The Woolpack, where she accused John of taking advantage of Arthur in front of the whole pub.

John was horrified and desperately tried to get Arthur to admit that he had lied about their relationship, but the teenager refused to back down. Instead, he lashed out at his mother for her own recent indiscretions with Charles Anderson.

As if things couldn't get any more complicated, Jai, Laurel's estranged husband, walked in and was shocked to learn that she had already moved on. Laurel tried to chase him out, but not before John made it clear that he would not let the allegations against him go without a fight.

Back at Mulberry Cottage, Laurel and Jai got into a heated argument where he resorted to cruel and hurtful words, shaming her for her actions and blaming her for Arthur's lies. With their past divorce being anything but amicable, it's uncertain what Jai will do next. Meanwhile, the question still remains - will Arthur confess to his lies about John?
