Since Sunil (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana) fast-tracked his confession to boyfriend Nicky (Lewis Cope) in Emmerdale, Amit (Anil Goutam) made the grave mistake of admitting to his son that he was present when his brother Rishi (Bhasker Patel) passed away.
Amit had disclosed that after an argument, he had witnessed Rishi tumble down the stairs. He left Rishi there, believing Amit to have died instantly.
This so troubled Suni that he ran to Nicky right away and told him everything.
After expressing his disapproval of his son’s boyfriend, Amit found himself in a pickle when Nicky cornered him and teased him by revealing his deep, dark secret. Amit gave him a knee-jerk reaction.
The difficult part was coming up with an explanation for Nicky’s black eye other than “it was because he teased me about the fact I left my brother for dead.” Nicky decided to play off Amit’s homophobia and explain away his injury. Still, better than the truth, can’t it?
Now that Amit is in the middle of the Woolpack, the villagers think he’s a bigoted idiot, and Caleb (Will Ash) even calls him that.
The truth has not been revealed by Nicky or Suni, but it has now reached Jai (Chris Bisson) and Laurel (Charlotte Belamy). It is Tracy (Amy Walsh) who informs the startled couple that Amit attacked Nicky because he is gay. Out of disgust, Laurel and Jai decide hastily that Amit must leave their lives.
They want Colin to stay as far away from them as possible because they have had enough of his homophobia and don’t have time for it in their lives.
Will Jai discover the truth about his father’s whereabouts, or will Amit accept this new destiny and allow them to keep believing the lie?
