Emmerdale fans predict 'explosion' that will see Leyla found out

Emmerdale fans have issued a worrying prediction as Leyla Cavanagh's drug addiction tightens its grip on her.

The character, played by Roxy Shahidi, is going through a turbulent period on the ITV show. Leyla is married to village doctor Liam Cavanagh - and the couple have struggled since Liam's daughter, Leanna, was murdered by Meena Jutla last summer.

Leyla has since suffered a miscarriage - and the stressful period prompted her to turn to drugs. She has since been dealing with her worsening addiction issues over the past few months.

A recent episode saw the wedding planner responding to a stressful situation by taking cocaine. However, she left the door unlocked and was caught red-handed by her ex David Metcalfe.

The character, played by Matthew Wolfenden, was shocked by the revelation and vowed to tell her husband so she could get the necessary help. Leyla pleaded with David and convinced him to change his mind after she said the news would destroy her marriage.

Monday's episode saw Leyla sack her long-term friend Priya Sharma from their business after she used the credit card to woo clients. Unbeknown to Priya, Leyla didn't want her to use the credit card because her debts are spiralling.

Leyla said it was "gross misconduct" and said it was only that they were friends that she "wasn't suing her". The fiery outburst led to many soap fans making the same prediction.

Taking to Twitter, Cas said: "Leyla, please, this isn't you" while Pilch said: "Leyla, what have you done? This is going to come back to you BIG TIME". Sally said: "This is all going to explode and she'll be left skint with no business and no friends".

Others thought the Leyla storyline might have a more grisly outcome. Kelly said: "Leyla will probably end up in hospital if she carries on". Chris said: "Leyla will end up leaving or in a coma".

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
