Emmerdale couple Jai Sharma and Megan Macey will hit the rocks again next week in the aftermath of the 'Fake Archie' scandal.

A shock storyline on the ITV soap has seen Jai rocked by the revelation that he was duped when he appeared to buy his young son back for £40,000.

The child was in fact a lookalike as the real Archie was with his mum Rachel Breckle all along. Viewers have since seen Jai's partner Megan snatch 'Fake Archie' as she couldn't bear to hand him over to social services once the truth was out.

Next week's episodes see Megan forced to spend a night in the cells when her kidnap attempt comes to an end, which leads to 'Fake Archie' being put into the care of the authorities.

While the baby situation appears to have been put right in the eyes of the law, it's far from the case in Megan's eyes as she is devastated by the way everything has turned out.

Once Megan returns from her night in police custody, she is shocked to find that Jai has been begging Rachel to see Archie while doing nothing about 'their child'.

Jai now wants to focus all of his attentions on regaining access to his real son, but Megan can't understand how he can forget the other child so easily and the couple end up clashing bitterly.

When it seems that the pair will go their separate ways, Megan's former love rival Leyla Harding and Jai's father Rishi attempt to play matchmaker by bringing them back together - but whether their efforts will prove successful remains to be seen.
