Is Sarah the one for Jacob in Emmerdale?<\/h2>\n

One bright spot in Jacob\u2019s life is Sarah \u2013 until this week when he cruelly rejects her just as she thinks she could be pregnant.<\/p>\n

So is Jacob just lashing out under the stress of planning his mum\u2019s funeral? Or has he decided Sarah isn\u2019t the one for him after all?<\/p>\n

\u201cHis feelings for Sarah are definitely genuine,\u201d says Joe-Warren. \u201cOver the last few weeks and months even he\u2019s been struggling with his placement on A&E, he\u2019s not got off to the best start there, but he does genuinely care about Sarah. It\u2019s nice to see their relationship grow.\u201d<\/p>
