ITV Emmerdale fans say Arthur 'owes Jai apology' after figuring out culprit of cancelled assembly

Emmerdale fans think Arthur Thomas should be apologising to Jai Sharma after accusing him of sabotaging his LGBTQ+ assembly. The teen left viewers of the ITV soap in tears last month when he told family friend Nicola King that he was gay.

Fans had been worried for the teen as he appeared troubled and unlike his usual self. They had been hoping for a sweet young romance between Arthur and April Windsor but the schoolboy fobbed his friend off. And after being teased by Jimmy King in the cafe, Arthur snapped at April when she challenged him on avoiding her.

It wasn't until later when being watched by Nicola with younger sister Dotty that Arthur opened up to Nicola. However, her son also overheard their chat and spilled his sexuality secret to the school, leading to him also having to tell his mum, Laurel.
