Emmerdale viewers were baffled as David Metcalfe's money woes continued.
The character has been hit by financial trouble as his shop struggles to recover after the pandemic. Friday's edition of the long-running soap explored David's attempts to scam an insurance claim out of Nicola King.
The character, played by Matthew Wolfenden, was in a car crash with Nicola earlier this week and is feigning an injury to claim compensation. Victoria Sugden and Eric Pollard believed David's lie, but urged him to see a doctor to confirm the extent of his diagnosis.
