Emmerdale spoilers: Maya Stepney catches boyfriend David Metcalfe with estranged wife Tracy!
Maya gets a bad case of the birthday blues when boyfriend David ruins her special day by sneaking off to see estranged wife Tracy!
Double-bill of Emmerdale! David Metcalfe finds himself in a whole lot of trouble when he fails to make a fuss of his girlfriend Maya Stepney for her birthday.
Maya is less-than-impressed when village shopkeeper David gives her a bunch of flowers which are clearly past their sell-by date and then fails to show for a planned birthday meal because he is off comforting his estranged wife Tracy!
Seizing his chance to stir-up some trouble, David's teenage son Jacob Gallagher lets slip to miffed Maya that David is off having a cosy chat with Tracy. So Maya storms off to confront the pair. What can David do to get back in Maya's good books? Or is this a sign there's more troubled waters to come?
Elsewhere in the village, Frank Clayton is still keeping a close eye on Leyla Harding's con man boyfriend, Clive. After all, it takes one to know one!
But Frank is concerned Clive is taking a bit too much interest in the financial side of the business Leyla runs with Frank's lady Megan Macey. So when Clive takes an interest in an art exhibition opening and invites along Leyla, Frank and Megan, Frank is immediately suspicious and wonders what con man Clive is planning.
Emmerdale continues weeknights at 7:00pm on ITV
