Emmerdale’s evil paedo Maya ISN’T dead and will take revenge on Layla after brutal attack, claims fan theory
EMMERDALE fans are convinced that evil paedo Maya Stepney will return to the village to take revenge on Leyla Harding.
The soap villain- played by Louisa Clein- disappeared last week after the schoolboy’s mum and David’s other exes Priya Sharma and Tracy Metcalfe discovered the truth about her twisted relationship with schoolboy Jacob Gallagher.
And while soap bosses are yet to reveal what’s happened to the teacher on the ‘Big Night Out’, many viewers are predicting that she isn’t dead and will return to get her revenge on Leyla for what she did to her.
“If she’s not dead? Maya will return @emmerdale she won’t be able to leave Jake alone or Blackmailing Layla Tracy & Priya,” theorised one.
While another commented: “Oh I don’t like this at all because I really don’t reckon Maya is dead at all as that’s not the conclusion promised, but then they’re making it seem like Leyla went back and killed her. Why we gotta wait another 10 days FFS #emmerdale”
And a third simply said: “Maya will turn up not dead Then the fireworks can go off”
However, viewers will finally get to see what happened after the night out last week during a special flashback episode.
And Roxy Shahidi who plays Leyla has revealed that her character lied about Maya’s disappearance and the storyline will take a “dark turn” which will change her life forever.
Roxy told Digital Spy: “Once the girls got their head around what Priya told them – at the beginning they didn’t believe it was anything other than innocent – the girls went through a range of emotions and were totally conflicted about what to do. Should they call the police? Should they take matters into their own hands?
“Leyla wanted Priya to drive them to the airport to get to Jacob initially, but something unexpected happened on the way that changed the course of the evening and things took a very dark turn.

“I’m really excited for the audience to find out what really happened. Having seen the girls head back to the woods to discover a bloodied scarf – but no sign of Maya – they will have spent the last week wondering what it is the girls have done and what has happened to Maya.
“The enormity of it all weighs especially heavy on Leyla, who has not been completely honest with Priya and Tracy about what happened. Other villagers begin to suspect something is wrong as all three girls are behaving strangely.
“It will be a huge relief to be able to fill in the gaps and see where everyone goes from here and if David will finally find out what has been going on.”
