Emmerdale's Laurel Thomas has some big decisions to make next week as the truth about Arthur's bullying is finally exposed to all.
Spoilers released by the show have revealed that Laurel will finally confess everything to her on-off partner Jai Sharma in Thursday night's double bill (March 12).
Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) breaks her silence after another incident at home leaves Jai's son Archie injured. When Archie points the finger at Arthur, Laurel is forced to come clean to Jai about how her son bullied Archie for months.
In the aftermath, Jai's stepmum Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker) gets involved by giving Laurel some well-meaning advice.

Drawing on her experience as a GP, Manpreet urges Laurel to consider counselling for Arthur.
What to Read Next
Manpreet thinks that Arthur needs to talk through his unresolved issues, including the grief he still feels over the death of his father Ashley. Unfortunately, Laurel is still burying her head in the sand and isn't convinced that Arthur needs counselling.
Manpreet isn't the only one who thinks Laurel needs to consider it, with Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) also urging her to tackle Arthur's behaviour once and for all.

Nicola was livid when her husband Jimmy wrongly got the blame for causing Archie's injuries, and with the truth now out, she wants to know what Laurel is prepared to do about it.
Is Laurel making life worse for herself by remaining in denial?
Emmerdale airs these scenes on Friday, March 13 at 7pm on ITV.
