Emmerdale fans think character will leave over Jacob stabbing

Emmerdale fans have theorised that the current Jacob and Leyla storyline could mean that one, or both, are set to leave the show. During Wednesday's episode, Jacob was stabbed by Leyla's drug dealer, after arranging to meet him.

In tonight's episode, the reason that Jacob made the plans to meet the dealer were revealed - as Leyla admitted that she had bought cocaine that evening. Jacob, wanting to teach Leyla's drug dealer a lesson, decided to meet up on the pretense that he was Leyla arranging another deal.

But, when Jacob arrived at the meeting point - armed with a knife - things took a turn and Jacob ended up getting stabbed instead. This has left Leyla in a heartbreaking situation, as she is not only worrying about her son but has also faced an ultimatum from David.

Tonight's episode concluded with David, having found out why Jacob went to meet the drug dealer, telling Leyla that she would be better off staying away from her son in future. Speaking to her outside the hospital, he said: "Leyla, let me tell you something, when this is all over, when Jacob gets out of here, me and you are done, forever."

Leyla reassured David that she was aware that this would be the case, but David decided that there was no time like the present. He responded: "And yet you're still sat there..." When Leyla questioned him on where she should go, he said: "If you had any decency, as far away from Jacob as possible."
