Emmerdale: Kerry Wyatt Fired, Rehired, and Quits Again — Then Gets Trapped with Jai!
Life in Emmerdale is never quiet for Kerry Wyatt, and her latest storyline proves it. In true Kerry fashion, chaos follows her wherever she goes — this time involving a firing, a forced apology, and a very awkward lockdown with her boss.
Tragedy Still Haunting Kerry
Since returning to the village, Kerry (Laura Norton) has been struggling to rebuild her life after a series of heartbreaking losses. Earlier this year, her daughter Amy (Natalie Ann Jamieson) tragically died in the devastating limo crash that also claimed the lives of Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) and Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough).
The crash was one of Emmerdale’s most shocking moments of 2025, caused when Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) swerved to avoid Noah Dingle (Jack Downham) — who had been drugged by Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) during a desperate attempt to find a kidney donor. The tragedy left Kerry shattered, and her grief continues to shape her every move.
Kerry’s Work Drama Takes a Wild Turn
In upcoming episodes, Kerry’s attempt to get through another workday quickly spirals out of control. After arriving late to her shift at the factory, she receives a call from Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) about new details surrounding Amy’s death. She rushes off to the shop to meet Matty and Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant), where they read the coroner’s report on the crash.
The heartbreaking news leaves Matty and Jacob in tears, and Kerry — ever the protective mum figure — focuses on comforting them. But in doing so, she misses several phone calls from her boss, Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson).
When Jai shows up, completely unaware of what’s happening, he mistakes Kerry’s absence for laziness and fires her on the spot.
Fired, Rehired… and Then She Quits
The next day, Caleb Miligan (William Ash) learns what happened and is furious. Outraged that Jai dismissed Kerry without understanding the situation, Caleb forces him to apologise and give her job back.
Though Kerry enjoys watching Jai squirm, her victory doesn’t last long. After a few sarcastic digs from her boss, Kerry realises he’s planning to make her life miserable. Rather than put up with his smug attitude, she decides to quit for good.
Locked In with the Enemy
But in a classic Emmerdale twist, Kerry’s dramatic exit takes an unexpected turn. As she storms out, she accidentally yanks the handle off the door — trapping herself and Jai inside the office together.
The pair are forced into an uncomfortable standoff, and with their tempers already running high, fans can expect fireworks. Will Kerry and Jai find a way to call a truce while they’re locked in together, or will the situation explode into another legendary Dingle-style disaster?
What’s Next for Kerry Wyatt?
Between her grief, her job chaos, and her unpredictable temper, Kerry’s future in the village looks as stormy as ever. Whether this latest fiasco pushes her toward a new beginning or straight into more trouble remains to be seen.
One thing’s for sure — Kerry Wyatt never does anything quietly, and Emmerdale fans wouldn’t have it any other way.
