Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) just cannot keep out of Jacob Gallagher’s (Joe-Warren Plant) life in Emmerdale, despite him now being a fully grown adult.
Her incessant need to control him will lead to a shocking discovery that could damage their relationship forever.
Jacob and his pals head off on a big night out, but Leyla can’t resist having a snoop through his things. The problem is, if you go looking for things, you’re likely to find them.
And that she does – her biggest fear is confirmed as she finds a little bag of white powder and she realises that her son is slipping into her own old drug-addled ways.
Turn the clock back a few years and it was Leyla shoving illegal substances up her nose. It almost cost her everything, including her life when she suffered a heart attack.
At the very least it cost her her marriage and the respect of everyone around her. Jacob repeating her mistakes when everything is so rosy in his life is gut-wrenching.
Jacob is on the cusp of an incredible future; he’s a doctor in training and has a lovely new relationship. A drug addiction at this point could ruin everything.
