Laurel's feelings shift from hate to passion in Emmerdale, as she develops a surprising attraction to someone who is already taken.

It's safe to say that Laurel Thomas did not expect this to be on her bingo card. After her tumultuous marriage to Jai Sharma, she was definitely due for a positive love life experience. But little did she know, fate had a strange way of showing its favor as she leads an unexpected villager up to her bedroom in Emmerdale.

Slowly but surely, Laurel is moving on from Jai. Despite her recent heart attack, he has been relentless in making her life a living hell. His latest despicable act was trying to take her house in their divorce. Thankfully, their son Arthur returned from Australia just in time to put Jai in his place and give him a reality check. This put a stop to Jai's constant torment towards Laurel.

Now that things have settled down, Laurel is finally able to focus on herself and her newfound singledom. But as fate would have it, she finds herself getting unexpected attention from the most unlikely person. With big ideas for the Harvest Festival, she faces opposition from Charles and Claudette, who don't believe her ideas are suitable for the churchgoers. This leads to a heated argument between the three, with stubborn Laurel refusing to back down. But things take an unexpected turn when their animosity turns into passion and they share a kiss.

Meanwhile, Manpreet encourages Jai to open up and tell Laurel how he truly feels. Little does she know, Laurel is also considering taking her own advice when it comes to Charles. She decides to come clean about her feelings for him and heads to Woodbine. But what will she do when she walks in on her friend in bed with her man?

But Laurel and Charles can't seem to keep their hands off each other and they quickly move things to the next level, heading upstairs for some intimate moments. Unaware of their steamy encounter, Manpreet continues to cheer on Jai in his pursuit of Laurel. She even considers taking her own advice and making a move on Charles herself. What will happen when she finds out the truth about Laurel and Charles? Will this unexpected romance be able to withstand the judgment of their friends and family?
