Leyla and Liam split

Emmerdale fans can expect a devastating break-up next week on the ITV soap, as Leyla Harding and Liam Cavanagh call it quits.

The characters have been through a lot in the past year and a half, and it seems they can't get past it.

Liam has been grieving over the murder of his teenaged daughter Leanna Cavanagh, who was killed by serial killer Meena Jutla last year.

Meena then tried to ruin Liam's life by making up false claims about him, and even putting him in danger.

Following Leanna's death, Leyla tragically suffered a miscarriage before, months later, she was shot and almost killed by Meena.

Leyla turned to drugs and became addicted to cocaine, resulting in her suffering an overdose a few months ago.

Her second brush with death made her realise she needed help, and she has been in rehab - while Liam has continued to struggle to cope.

Most recently, Liam made a pass at his ex Bernice Blackstock, and he and his wife just can't find a way to confide in each other.

Next week, the pair try to talk once more but they realise it's the end of their marriage. Both of the characters are heartbroken that it’s come to this, but will they be able to find a way back?

Samson's struggle

Emmerdale's Samson Dingle feels isolated next week, as the christening of his baby daughter Esther takes place.

Samson will not feel welcome in the fallout to upcoming scenes, that see him encourage Amelia Spencer to give up their baby for adoption.

Ever since he learned about Amelia's pregnancy, Samson has been against her having the baby - and in upcoming episodes viewers see him taunting her over her initial plans to have an abortion.

By next week things haven't eased, and Samson is more distant from Amelia and his loved ones than ever before.

With him still torn over the baby and his relationship with her, Samson keeps a distance and fumes at his family for seeing Esther against his wishes.

As Samson approaches the christening, he begins hearing chatter from inside the church and is torn to realise he doesn't have a place there.

Will this be the moment he realises he wants to be Esther's dad, or could it separate him further from his family?
