'Emmerdale' Chris Bisson predicts Declan, Jai revenge plot

Emmerdale star Chris Bisson has predicted that his character Jai Sharma could face the wrath of Declan Macey in the coming months.

Declan, played by Jason Merrells, is provided with reason to hold a grudge against Jai in next week's episodes when he discovers that the factory boss is Mia's biological father.

After Declan struggles to accept the news, scenes airing later this month will see him invite Jai out on a clay pigeon shooting expedition before threatening him with a shotgun.

However, Bisson told Soaplife that Declan ultimately decides to adopt a slower-burn revenge plan.

"There are 20 years of betrayal and Declan's in a very emotional state," Bisson told the magazine. "He loads the gun and points it at Jai, and Jai asks if he's going to blow his head off.

"Declan replies, 'No - that's way too easy. There is more to come and you'll be the first to know about it'."

Bisson continued: "Declan and Jai will have to find some kind of uneasy truce for the time being as people in the village are starting to notice things.

"There are some big storylines coming up and it will appear like they're back on track. But I can't see Declan ever really forgiving Jai. He'll definitely get his revenge."

Declan's family members Mia (Sapphire Elia), Ella (Corrinne Wicks) and Dermot (Frank Kelly) are all due to bow out from Emmerdale later this month.
