Emmerdale's Jimmy King will face the police tonight (December 11) as Archie Breckle's disappearance causes shockwaves in the village.
Jimmy (Nick Miles) is horrified as the police quiz him about his recent dispute with Archie's family.
The drama begins when Jai, Manpreet and Rishi Sharma discover that Archie has disappeared from his bedroom and call in the police to help find him.
As tensions grow, Jai (Chris Bisson) is quick to tell the authorities that Archie was terrified after Jimmy supposedly hurt him, so may have run away for that reason.
