Emmerdale fans think a new romance could be on the way for Leyla Cavanagh - but not with Jai Sharma. Viewers of the ITV soap were furious earlier this week when the wedding planning took Jai's kindness as an opportunity to pounce and kissed him just as his girlfriend Laurel Thomas walked by.
Jai has been looking out for Leyla after she nearly relapsed following her stint in rehab for her drug addiction. Leyla was pushed out by her family after her son, Jacob, discovered she had been buying drugs and, after locking her in her room, met with her drug dealer which ended up in him being stabbed.
In scenes aired earlier this week, Leyla received her decree nisi, ending her marriage to the local doctor. As Jai paid her a visit after learning of the decree nisi coming through, Leyla told the businessman: "I knew it was coming but I didn’t expect it to hurt this much." She later confessed: "It is not just my life that I destroyed. It was Liam's."
