EMMERDALE viewers have slammed Jai Sharma for accusing Jimmy King of abusing son Archie – after ignoring him for years.
The businessman, who is played by actor Chris Bisson, enraged fans with his self-righteous accusations that Jimmy caused Archie to run away.
Viewers know it is Laurel’s son Arthur who has been terrorising Archie and framing Jimmy for it to cover his own tracks.
And viewers also know how Jai ignored Archie for the first years of his life, instead leaving him to be raised by his mum Rachel.
He struggled to cope when Rachel’s death meant Archie was taken to live with him, but the boy didn’t know his dad so refused to speak for weeks.
Now Archie has been hurt by Arthur, Jai has lost the plot and accused Jimmy of child abuse – tonight even going so far as to publicly tell people to keep their children away from him.
He said: “You’ve traumatised a grieving boy.
“If the bruise from last time is anything to go by. You can’t keep denying it. My son is so terrified of you that he ran away.
“It’s your fault so stay away from him and if the rest of you have got any sense you won’t let him near your kids either. He should be locked up.”
It was too much for viewers who remember all of Jai’s misdeeds.
One wrote: “Jai is a really really bad father .. he has no idea how to bring kids up
A second said: “Like your dad of the year jai.”
Another added: “Jai is such an idiot!”
