Emmerdale’s Matthew Wolfenden hints at ‘huge’ new storyline

Exciting times in the pipeline for Emmerdale's David

Emmerdale’s Matthew Wolfenden has hinted that there is a big new storyline coming up for his character during a chat on ITV’s This Morning.

The actor, who is married to Emmerdale co-star Charley Webb, told hosts Vanessa Feltz and Dr Ranj Singh that his character’s blossoming romance with Maya Cavanagh is set to go from strength-to-strength…

“David and Maya will end up together, and there is a big storyline coming up for both of them. It’s going to be huge over the next few months.”

So while it looks like the pair’s one night stand is set to become something more, there is clearly going to be trouble ahead for them in the shape of Dr Cavanagh, Maya’s husband.

The pair have already clashed, with the doctor even telling David about Tracy’s recent abortion. But is this just a case of a jealous ex, or are his threats something more sinister?

Matthew also told This Morning viewers that he’d refused to do a storyline in Emmerdale that saw his alter ego get together with Debbie Dingle, played by his real-life wife, Charley…

“They once suggested that they were going to put our characters together and we thought this would be dreadful.

“The thought of getting up together and doing scenes together, we said no, please don’t put us together.

“It’s nice to go off with our Emmerdale families and then come back to each other.”

So with no chance of romance between Debbie and David, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens with David and his new love interest Maya, instead.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
