Jamie had told Belle about running over her sister-in-law Moira Barton in the hopes that they could run off into the sunset together, despite dumping her a few months back.
Jamie then shamelessly tried to buy Nate’s silence by offering him his silence back at Wylie’s farm and even offered to pay him £5,000.
The vet then went a step lower and tried to use Belle’s schizophrenia to keep Nate shtum.
He told Nate: “And what’s that going to do to Belle? She’ll break down, might even get sectioned again.”
A gobsmacked Nate replied: “Are you seriously using her mental health to shut me up?”
But it’s looking like Jamie’s efforts to keep his secret hidden will have all been for nothing as next week Belle overhears Marlon and Paddy talking about her and Jamie behind her back.
When Belle confronts them, they tell her there’s a new witness in Jamie’s hit and run.
Belle rushes to tell Jamie but ends up having a go at him when he remains oddly calm.
Viewers will then see their argument interrupted by a call, but who will it be on the other end?
The next day, Belle is shocked when Jamie tells her he wants to go ahead with divorcing Andrea.
The pair are left reeling when Andrea arrives midway through their discussion.
How will she react to the news that Belle has already moved in – and that Jamie wants a divorce?
And more importantly, who is the new witness and did they see Jamie?
Alexander Lincoln – who plays Jamie on the ITV show – has hinted that viewers will see a darker side to his character in the coming weeks.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Alexander said: “With Jamie, I’ve had a huge scope of things to play with. He’s been very combative towards his mum, but has then gone back underneath her wing.
“There’s also been some really emotional scenes in the love triangle with Belle and Andrea, and having his daughter Millie around.
“In fact, in the coming weeks and months, it gets even more so, which is great.”
Speaking about whether there’s a Tate streak in Jamie, Alexander added: “Jamie has tried and tried to stay away from the Tate line and the Tate way of living. But essentially he feels like he’s been cornered with every choice that he’s made. Every choice he’s made has blown up in his face.”
Might Jamie be about to go to extreme lengths to keep his secret and silence the new witness?
