Actor Chris Bisson recently revealed the compelling reason behind his departure from Coronation Street before joining Emmerdale. Chris has portrayed the character Jai Sharma on the popular ITV show since 2009, engaging in significant storylines throughout his tenure.
His time on Emmerdale has been marked by intense drama, including struggles with drug addiction and complicated relationships. In a recent episode, the discovery of a dead body at a local depot added another layer of mystery to the unfolding plot.
While fans are still in the dark about the identity of the murderer, Jai found himself under suspicion following the grim discovery. Interestingly, Chris’s journey to Emmerdale began after his stint on Coronation Street, where he portrayed Vikram Desai, a pivotal character in the soap’s narrative.
Vikram’s exit from Coronation Street in 2002 involved a dramatic storyline of drug smuggling and financial misdeeds, reflecting the actor’s dissatisfaction with his character’s development. However, Chris’s transition to Emmerdale as Jai Sharma revitalized his career, presenting new challenges and opportunities for character growth.
Reflecting on his character’s evolution, Chris acknowledged discussions about potentially ending Jai’s storyline but ultimately embraced the character’s complexities and redemptive arc. Emmerdale enthusiasts can catch the latest developments in Jai’s journey by tuning in to the show on ITV1 and ITVX.
