And while his suffering hasn’t been seen on screen since before Christmas, it has now been confirmed that it is set to continue and will contribute to dad Jai’s stress.

Actor Chris Bisson, who plays Jai, told Digital Spy: “The situation with Archie, Arthur and Jimmy hasn’t gone away. Archie is still traumatised.

“From Jai’s perspective, he doesn’t know why, but Archie is having nightmares and he’s wetting the bed. That means Jai is getting no sleep.

“It’s layer upon layer of frustration, angst and anxiety about his son, but he’s not understanding what has happened to Archie and hasn’t been able to fix it. It’s driving him insane.”

The news the storyline will continue will not be easy for viewers to take.
