For months now, paedophile school teacher Maya has been grooming her boyfriend’s adopted son, Jacob.
As Maya has made clear to Jacob hundreds of times, she can’t be found out as she will lose her job and go to prison, but surely someone will catch them in the act for this storyline to conclude.
We’ve put together a list of people who are likely to either catch the secret couple, and suss out what she’s really like.
David
But in next week’s episode David is due to return early from a trip while Maya is staying in his home to “look after” Jacob. Will he catch the pair doing something they shouldn’t?
Eric
Fans think David’s father Eric may have started to catch on to what’s been going on.
At Jacob’s sixteenth birthday party last month, Eric saw Jacob and Maya talking and when she went to go back to David, Eric gave her a suspicious look.
Maybe he’s started to clock on to what she’s doing.
I think it is eric that secretly knows about maya & jacob, it's just the way he looked at her in tonight's episode and said "secretly, it's important to tell the truth" @emmerdale #emmerdale

Leyla
Leyla is Jacob’s biological mother. After her sister adopted him Jacob was raised with Leyla as his aunt, although he knows she gave birth to him.
Leyla cares a lot for Jacob so it would be interesting if she was the one to catch the pair.
Fans have already made it clear they would love to see Leyla take on Maya.
I can't wait for Leyla to find out about Maya #Emmerdale

Please tell me there's going to be an episode where Leyla drags Maya over the shop counter by her hair. And then all the way up Main Street #Emmerdale

Tracy
Tracy came close to catching Maya and Jacob last week and it’s no secret that she’s not Maya’s biggest fan.
The teacher and schoolboy were upstairs at Tug Ghyll cottage but when Maya came downstairs to get some food Tracy returned home.
Although David’s ex heard noise upstairs, Maya told her Leyla was upstairs with a man.
When Tracy saw Leyla with her new love interest Billy, she assumed they were in the bedroom together and ended up hitting her house mate.
But will Tracy and Leyla put two and two together and figure out why Maya lied to them?
Come on Tracy or David, go and catch Maya in the act. #Emmerdale

Liv
Around Jacob’s sixteenth birthday, Liv began worrying that Jacob was no longer interested in her.
She also nearly caught them out when she went to the summerhouse where Jacob set up a romantic setting to have sex with his dad’s girlfriend. However, when Liv turned up before Maya he panicked and told her it was a surprise for her.
Viewers believe it could be Liv who will suss out Maya.
Liv is gunna suss paedo Maya #Emmerdale

Will Liv be the one who outs Maya?? #Emmerdale

I bet Liv will be the one to expose Maya since everyone else is too thick to see what’s under their nose. #Emmerdale pic.twitter.com/EiWMDm8GPg

Leanna

Leanna has made no secret of the fact she can’t stand her ex-step mother.
At first, it seemed like the young girl had no real reason to hate her but now viewers are wondering if the paedophile has groomed children before.
Before Maya and Jacob began seeing each other, Leanna suspected the teen of fancying the teacher.
Does she know what her step-mother is really like?

You all realize when the Maya stuff comes out it will mean Leanna was right all along and she’ll probably float about it for years #emmerdale

Amy

Amy arrived back in the village a couple of weeks ago in order to get custody of her son Kyle.
After she arrived in the village back in 2010, Eric and his late wife Val fostered Amy.
When Amy arrived back and spoke to David, it became clear Maya was jealous of David’s ex foster sister.
Will Amy be the one to pick up on Maya?
Bet Amy eventually susses Maya 👍#Emmerdale
