There will be a Christmas shock for David Metcalfe and son Jacob Gallagher when Maya Stepney leaves her baby on their doorstep in an upcoming episode of Emmerdale.
Viewers know that David started a relationship with schoolteacher Maya last year, but things soon took a dark turn when she began grooming 15-year-old Jacob.
She had Jacob believing they were in a loving relationship and they even began sleeping together just days after he turned 16.
But she was eventually caught out during Emmerdale’s Big Night Out by Priya, who caught her and Jacob kissing.
Maya was sentenced to prison for 12 months but was recently released after serving just five and viewers were stunned to see she was pregnant.
Although no one knows if Jacob or David is the father, it looks like they’re both about to be part of the child’s life.
