Emmerdale fans 'work out' Leyla will die and when it'll happen

Emmerdale fans are fearing the worst for Leyla Cavanagh as her drug problem continues to spiral.

The character, played by Roxy Shahidi, is going through a turbulent period on the ITV show. Leyla is married to village doctor Liam Cavanagh - and the couple have struggled since Liam's daughter, Leanna, was murdered by Meena Jutla last summer.

Leyla has since suffered a miscarriage - and the stressful period prompted her to turn to drugs. She has since been dealing with her worsening addiction issues over the past few months.

Monday's episode saw Leyla sack her long-term friend Priya Sharma from their business after she used the credit card to woo clients. Unbeknown to Priya, Leyla didn't want her to use the credit card because her debts are mounting.

Leyla said it was "gross misconduct" and said it was only that they were friends that she "wasn't suing her". And this week's second trip to the Dales saw the wedding planner given an ultimatum.

Her drug dealer Jason came to collect money he was owed, and offered to give her cash and more cocaine if she looked after a stash for him. When Leyla said no, he decided she owed him hundreds more pounds as "interest".

Fans were quick to predict what would happen next. Taking to Twitter, Pam said: "Leyla's desperation, lies and deceit is about to blow up in her face", while Bobby Dazzler said: "I reckon Leyla will stash that salubrious package at David's while he's away in Portugal".

Others think Leyla will meet a more grisly fate. Pete Leo said: "What's the odds Leyla dies in the 50th anniversary?", and Catherine said: "Leyla is going to die in the anniversary isn't she?"

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
