Viewers recently watched Jimmy get caught in the firing line in Emmerdale as he was accused by Jai of lashing out and bruising his son Archie.
When a number of older marks were then spotted on Archies skin, Arthur Thomas blamed Jimmy for the damage.
A horrified Jai then understandably went on the warpath, confronting Jimmy about abusing his son.
Are the accusations against Emmerdales Jimmy true?
A stunned Jimmy was quick to deny that he’d caused the bruises, which were actually made by an angry Arthur.
Arthur is struggling to cope with his mum Laurel replacing his dad with partner Jai, and has been taking out his anger on his son.
Unhappy about Jai coming to Ashleys birthday picnic, Arthur recently lashed out at Archie and knocked him unconscious to the floor.
Laurel and Jai assumed he’d fallen, but then found other faded marks.
Instead of owning up to the bruises, a panicked Arthur was quick to wag the finger at Jimmy.
