Emmerdale's Belle Dingle faces further upset tonight (July 17) as Jamie Tate's huge dilemma comes to a head.
Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) has faced a difficult few days, as Jamie's hit and run drama has kept him in the orbit of his estranged wife Andrea.
Unbeknown to Belle, Andrea has resorted to blackmailing Jamie (Alexander Lincoln) in order to save their troubled marriage.
Andrea (Anna Nightingale) has threatened to go to the police with her knowledge of the hit and run – which seriously injured Moira Dingle – unless Jamie stays with her.

What to Read Next
Friday's episode picks up with the immediate aftermath of Andrea's ultimatum, with Jamie in disbelief over her behaviour.
Sadly for Jamie, he soon realises that Andrea is entirely serious about her threat and he'll have to tread carefully.
Soon afterwards, Jamie's mum Kim (Claire King) weighs in on his ongoing love triangle, although she's still unaware of his guilt over Moira.
Believing that Jamie is facing a much more simple choice, Kim advises him to be with Belle if that's what will make him happy.
Later on, Jamie meets with Belle at the cricket pavilion and delivers his final decision.
Belle's heart breaks as her hopes are crushed – but will Jamie come clean over Andrea's blackmail, or let Belle believe that he was never serious about their relationship?
Emmerdale airs tonight at 7pm on ITV.
