Emmerdale spoilers: 𝕂iller Amit Sharma has horrific scheme which will destroy ill Eric Pollard

Dodgy Amit Sharma (Anil Goutam) has his sights set on his next victim in Emmerdale – vulnerable Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell).

Amit learns that Pollard is a rather wealthy village resident and starts seeing pound signs. He’s either unbothered or doesn’t know about Eric’s Parkinson’s.

Though it’s unlike Eric to become a victim of a scam instead of the instigator, Eric is ripe for the attack; with his mind firmly on his health and family loss, he’s easy prey for someone willing to take advantage.

Amit comes up with a plan and challenges Pollard to a game of pool. It’s not the first time, but this time the stakes are high.

Will Eric work out Amit’s plan?

The game gets underway, and Amit enacts stage one of his plan – while Eric enjoys the thrill, Amit lulls him into a false sense of security by losing on purpose, gaining his trust as a fair opponent.

Eric is well and truly reeled in. With Amit having already confessed how financially convenient it was for his brother Rishi to die in front of him, is Eric facing a similar fate?

The pair bond further when Amit proposes a lucrative business deal. Good pal Rodney warns Eric off Amit with his nose for a wheeler and dealer, but Eric is not put off. Instead, he resolves to prove to his friend he knows what he’s doing.

Amit and Pollard discuss business, and using his underhand tactics, it’s not long before Amit has Eric agreeing to the deal. But Eric’s not just in, he’s all in.

Convinced his plan is foolproof, Amit’s taken by surprise the next day when Pollard says he must speak with Brenda before transferring any money.

Amit goes on the charm offensive to ensure Pollard still goes through with the deal. Is poorly Eric about to lose everything to charlatan Amit, or has he sniffed a rat?
