Chris Bisson has suggested that "bad Jai" could be back in Emmerdale following recent events.
Having discovered the truth that Amit (Anil Goutam) really did push Rishi (Bhasker Patel) down the stairs to his death, Jai decided to exact revenge on his biological dad by returning the favour.
Rather than killing Amit, however, the incident left him merely injured - and an unrepentant Jai then struck a deal with Amit to hand over his shares in the business before leaving the village for good.
"Amit is the villain that we suspected or that Jai suspected he was," said Bisson. "Amit has been very devious and the pain that Jai suffered over the last eight months or so since Rishi's death has now exploded. It is like a big fireball inside him and it's all coming out in one go.
"And Amit is feeling the wrath of Jai's pain. I think that for Jai it's very simple now... he wants rid of Amit. He wants him out of his life, he doesn't want him anywhere near him. He wants the shares to the HOP - he wants his rightful inheritance that he should have got from Rishi."
He continued: "He has let Amit away with his life. But it has changed something inside him and going forward the way he views life and people and relationships may well be affected. Certainly the way he treats business will probably be affected too.
"I think he is going to become a bit more ruthless. He feels he has been taken for a bit of a fool and he feels like that is never going to happen again.
"So yes, maybe BAD JAI is back! And do you know what? I quite like bad Jai. He's fun to play! But he's not all bad though, he's a good dad and he has some redeeming qualities but we have seen him go down this path before - so who knows what lies ahead..."
Emmerdale continues weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
