Last night in Emmerdale (Tuesday, March 19), Amit befriended Eric at The Hide and challenged him to a game of pool as he placed a bet on it.
Amit really took an interest in Eric after learning that he had quite a bit of money in his bank account.
But, now a new fan theory suggests that Amit could soon kill Eric as things take a sinister turn.

Amit then approached Eric and gave him some suggestions on what gift he could buy for Brenda.
Yesterday, Amit challenged Eric to a game of pool and placed a bet on winning the game.
However, Eric soon lost and handed over Amit’s winnings. Amit then tried to give the money back to Brenda after realising that Eric was ill.
