Emmerdale's Leyla Cavanagh could die in horror scenes on the ITV soap after taking a drug overdose.
Leyla's drug addiction has been spiralling as of late, with her unable to control her old habit. She has largely kept everyone in the dark about her addiction, but David Metcalfe recently found out about what she was doing.
However, things took a dark turn tonight as Leyla was rushed to hospital after taking an overdose, with her GP husband Liam now fully aware of how at risk she is of losing her life as he vowed to leave her to fight her addiction alone.
In sad scenes, Leyla laid motionless in the hospital as she was looked over by doctors and nurses.
Manpreet Sharma - also a doctor - tried to convince Liam to help her and stick with her, but he was adamant that he wouldn't be the one to pick her up after her mess, especially after his daughter Leanna's life was cut short.
Leanna was murdered by evil serial killer Meena Jutla last year, with Liam understandably still reeling from what happened.
Leyla has been in a predicament as of late, having got herself caught up in a deal with her drug dealer. She found herself indebted to him, unable to pay for her cocaine, and so he struck up a plan to help them both out.
"You agreed to a favour and this is it. All I need is somewhere safe to put something for a couple of weeks," her dealer told her, "It’s just a bag. You look after it and two weeks time I come back and pick it up. Job done.
"You do this and I won’t just write off your debts, I’ll throw in a little tickler too. £2,500 cash."
However, the bag went missing - which Leyla ended up finding in Suzy's boot - and as a reward for managing to locate it, her dealer threw in some free drugs for her. She ended up overdosing and putting herself in hospital, with her life hanging in the balance, as Liam finally revealed the true extent of what she was doing.
It was quickly revealed Matty was behind the missing drugs, having stolen them - but fans found it funny how he seemingly nicked them with no gloves on, meaning his fingerprints would be all over the drugs as he tried to pin the dealing on Suzy.
*Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV with an hour long episode on Thursdays.
