It's been quite some time since we last saw Arthur in Emmerdale. Fans of the show might be wondering where he's been, especially after his mother Laurel Thomas suffered a heart attack. But fear not, the show subtly explained his absence on screen.
Arthur hasn't been seen in the Dales for a while now, with his last appearance being in March, shortly after the death of Heath Hope. And with Laurel's recent health struggles, he was noticeably absent from her side. In fact, he wasn't even there when she returned home from the hospital in Tuesday's episode. So where is he?
As it turns out, Arthur is currently in Australia. This was briefly mentioned in a double episode on June 27, where Laurel mentioned that there was enough room for Gabby and her son Thomas to move back in with her. She also joked that she could use another woman in the house.
While we didn't see Arthur's departure on screen, it's likely that he is visiting his grandfather Doug Potts, who moved to Australia in 2020. In the meantime, Laurel has been going through a lot of drama in her personal life.
Her marriage to Jai has hit a rough patch, with Jai keeping a big secret from her. He had pushed Amit Sharma down the stairs and tortured him as revenge for his involvement in Rishi Sharma's death. He then forced Amit to sign over his shares in the HOP to him before fleeing to India.
When Laurel found out about this, she and Jai had a heated argument where he insulted her late ex-husband Ashley Thomas. This led to her heart attack, but thankfully she is now recovering. As she heals, the question remains: will she and Jai be able to mend their relationship?
