Emmerdale: Jo feels the force of Andy’s wrath again
The friendship between Sam and Jo seems to be blooming, when Jo invites him for lunch. Sam is delighted and even goes as far as to buy a new shirt for their ādateā. But the joyful mood doesnāt last long.
Andy surprises Jo by arriving home early from his break so she desperately cancels the lunch with Sam. An upset Sam tries to convince her to reconsider, but he oversteps the mark when he moves in for a kiss. Jo puts him in his place in no uncertain terms.
Sam manages to get out of the way just before Andy arrives home from Dianeās. He accuses Jo of blabbing to Sam behind his back. The hostile young man takes out his anger on Jo by physically beating her. And if thatās not enough violence, he then goes on the hunt for Sam and attacks him too.
When things calm down, Andy does what he always does, he tries to apologise to his wife. But his excuses appear to fall on deaf ears this time.
Later in the week, Sam hears whatās happened to Jo and pays her a visit. Spotting her doubling up in pain while lifting sacks, he takes her to the hospital. Once there, Jo denies that Andy had anything to do with her injuries. Sam is beside himself with anger, especially when the doctor suspects she has broken ribs.
Andy arrives at the hospital and, understandably, Sam makes a sharp exit. But later at home, Andy accuses his wife of telling the doctor what really happened. Jo denies this and fed up of the conversation she heads out. Bumping into Sam, she accuses him of interfering in her private life. Oh dear, how will this mess be sorted out? Will Jo eventually see sense and leave violent Andy?
