Emmerdale fans are convinced there will be a new arrival on the Dales soon following the passing of Rishi Sharma, whilst other fans are predicting a second character could make a huge return
Emmerdale fans have ‘worked out’ two characters will arrive in the Dales following Rishi’s death. Rishi Sharma – played by Bhasker Patel – died in tragic scenes yesterday evening as his adopted son Jai and his wife Laurel celebrated their wedding.
Sadly, Rishi wasn’t discovered until the morning after with Jai devastated when he let himself into the house in the hope he could work things out with his father after their row, before finding him dead at the bottom of the stairs. Fans are now convinced that Rishi’s sad passing will see a new character step into the Dales, whilst they are also predicting that we might see the return of one, or even two, legendary characters amid the sad scenes.
One viewer mused: “I wonder if we’ll meet Rishi’s brother (Jai’s real father) at some point #Emme rdale,” whilst a second viewer wondered if Bhasker could return in another way, as they shared: “It would be ace if Rishi’s brother was a twin. #Emmerdale.”
Some fans are also convinced that this could pave the way for Priya (Fiona Wade) and Nikhil (Rik Makarem) make their returns. “I’m so sad that Priya isn’t here. She looked up to Rishi and adored the ground he walked on. I hope she’s back for the funeral. #Emmerdale,” one shared, whilst another added: “I wonder if we are going to see Priya come back for the funeral. #Emmerdale.”
