Emmerdale’s Leyla has shocking secret that will have huge ‘ramifications for Liam and Jacob’
With top ITV soap Emmerdale set for a shocking week of twists and turns during a special flash forward week of episodes, producer Laura Shaw spoke to OK! and other outlets to reveal there’s much to come from the popular soap.
Popular character Leyla, played by Roxy Shahidi, is set for a shocking secret to be revealed that will see huge “ramifications for Liam and Jacob”.
Lisa told OK! that long-running character Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) will feature strongly, she said: “Looking ahead beyond the big week with other character groups in the show, we'll of course be continuing to explore Marlon's long recovery and how this continues to affect his friends and family.”
She also revealed another “big health story” is coming up this year, followings Marlon's harrowing stroke scenes.
She said: “We're also going to be playing another big health story this year for one of our characters, that will have a huge effect on all those people close to them.”
But Leyla is also facing a dramatic time ahead in the Dales, according to Lisa.
The soap's producer said: “Leyla's got a huge story coming up where a shocking secret is revealed and this will have huge ramifications for Liam and Jacob in particular. And some of our most loved couples will have stories that we will see how they navigate through their problems as strong family units."
These new revelations are to follow the special storyline week beginning 9 May, which will see a series of flash forwards make their way into the episodes and will give “the audience the chance to try and play a bit of Emmerdale detective and see if we can work out what's going to happen during the week”.
Leyla, who has been making a series of mysterious phone calls in recent episodes, was left clearly shaken by Suzy's arrival in recent episodes and the latter promised to keep her secrets…
Soap watchers have been trying to figure out what the secret is and have even boldly predicted that it could involve a Meena Jutla twist.

Fans have debated that Suzy is secretly linked to Meena and is planning to help her escape with Leyla trying to stop her with the plan.
Taking to Twitter, one person speculated: "Know this is a bit out there but convinced Suzy is connected to Meena and could be helping with her escape, Leyla could be trying to stop her?? #Emmerdale."
Explaining the theory further, they added: "It kinda makes sense if she’s Meena’s pal and blames people in the village for taking her down…"
