Does Jamie turn against Andrea in Emmerdale?
It’s looking like Jamie might not need his mum to fight his battles for him anymore as Alexander Lincoln - who plays Jamie on the ITV show - has revealed that viewers will see a darker side to his character next week.
Jamie will start to fight back against his Andrea - who’s forcing him to get back together with her in exchange for her silence about the hit-and-run incident.
Jamie tricks Andrea into thinking he’s content with their relationship, but secretly starts to plot ways to bring about her downfall.
Speaking to about the upcoming storyline, Alexander said: "I absolutely love it! With Jamie, I've had a huge scope of things to play with. He's been very combative towards his mum, but has then gone back underneath her wing.
"There's also been some really emotional scenes in the love triangle with Belle and Andrea, and having his daughter Millie around.
"In fact, in the coming weeks and months, it gets even more so, which is great."
Speaking about whether there’s a Tate streak in Jamie, Alexander added: "Jamie has tried and tried to stay away from the Tate line and the Tate way of living. But essentially he feels like he's been cornered with every choice that he's made. Every choice he's made has blown up in his face.
