Emmerdale will air the moment Leyla Harding fears her darkest secrets will be exposed on the ITV soap on Thursday night.
The character is clearly hiding something, with her recent behaviour sparking concern with some residents and viewers.
Spoilers confirmed the character was hiding a secret or two, but they also detailed Leyla has a mystery link with newcomer Suzy.
Scenes on Thursday will show the moment the ladies bump into each other in the village, leaving Leyla shaken and rattled.
As Suzy claims the pair know each other through work, it's been revealed viewers will soon learn there's much more to it.
On Thursday, the hour-long episode will see Leyla panic about her secrets now that Suzy is in the village.
Suzy will promise her that she will continue to hide said secrets for her, but what exactly is she up to?
Scenes to air further down the line will reveal what Leyla's secret is and how exactly Suzy is involved - amid speculation of the new character's real identity.
It follows Leyla making cryptic phone calls in recent scenes, as well as her going AWOL during Meena Jutla's trial and verdict.
Leyla acted innocent when she was quizzed about her whereabouts by Wendy Posner and her husband Liam Cavanagh, with her often using work as an excuse for her unusual behaviour.
It's been a tough year or so for Leyla and Liam, following the murder of his daughter Leanna, and Leyla sadly suffering a miscarriage shortly after.
Leyla was also shot and almost killed by evil Meena earlier this year, and it's been hinted Leyla may not be coping as well as she has claimed to be.
Earlier in the year, Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw hinted something huge was in the way for the character.
She told press: "Leyla has a big storyline coming up in 2022. We’ve seen her be a huge support to Liam through the loss of his daughter Leanna but is all as it seems?
"Is Leyla really coping as well as she seems to on the surface or is there a bit more going on there that we’ll uncover?"
It comes as soap boss Kate Brooks promised big "ramifications" ahead for characters in the fallout to Meena's exit.
One character set to take centre stage is Leyla, with Kate hinting there was a "massive" storyline for her and Liam.
She told The Mirror and other press: "This woman wreaked havoc in the village and destroyed people’s lives, Liam has lost his daughter, Manpreet... what hasn't she been through in the past 12 months?
"So I think we were very conscious not to just tie it up in a very neat bow and say okay, now Meena has left and gone from the village, let’s just move on.
"That is not what would happen or how we have made it. There's a massive story on the table for Liam and Leyla which is the result of what has gone down with Leanna and everything, there are big ramifications for Charles and Manpreet."
