Emmerdale fans were once again reminded of Leyla Cavanagh's drug issues as she was tempted by a visit from her drug dealer. Unbeknown to her husband, Liam, and family and friends, the wedding planner is regularly taking drugs as she deals with the toll of the last year.
Her drug-taking came to light earlier this year when Suzy arrived in the village, leaving Leyla acting shifty. Fans of the ITV soap soon found out that it was because Vanessa Woodfield's new love interest is the woman Leyla had been partying and taking drugs with. This continued for a while in the village before Suzy decided she wasn't going to do it anymore.
She has since tried to warn Leyla about what is now an addiction but her pleas for her to stop have fallen on deaf ears. And during the latest instalment of Emmerdale on Tuesday night (June 21), Leyla's own drug dealer Jason Denshaw showed up at Take A Vow after seeing her picture in a recent magazine spread.
Jason tried to get some business from Leyla, suggesting she sell drugs on the side to her clients. He then tried to tempt a shaky Leyla into buying drugs off him but she insisted that she was "taking a break". However, she was soon forced to hide the two bags as Suzy walked into the office.
But those tuning into to popular soap were left distracted during the scenes as they recognised the man playing Jason as being Parry Glasspool, 30, who previously starred in Hollyoaks. He played Harry Thompson in the Channel 4 soap, the son of stalwart character Tony Hutchinson, until he was killed off in 2019.
@Gemma61103028 tweeted: "Omg it's Harry from Hollyoaks! #emmerdale." @fussyMcWhiskers said: "#Emmerdale I recognise Leyla's (aka Lola's) drug dealer - he was Harry from Hollyoaks." @Skeptical_kanga joked: "Somebody better ring Tony in Hollyoaks!! Harry is alive and well in Emmerdale Village under the name of Jason Denshaw!!"
@ShakyWoon wrote: "Harry Thompson from #Hollyoaks paying another visit to #Emmerdale!" @ASuperGav echoed: "Harry off Hollyoaks back again #Emmerdale." That's because it isn't his first appearance, having previously appeared to sell Leyla drugs last month.
Later on in the episode, Leyla took her family out to the Hide for dinner to celebrate her magazine spread and her one-year wedding anniversary with Liam. Joined by David and Jacob, Leyla was getting stuck into the prosecco and offered to foot the whole bill. But as she nipped off to the loo, she was acosted by Suzy who knew she had been taking something.
Ignoring Suzy's warning, she ordered more prosecco and twirled around in the Hide. And viewers were left cringing. @CxxPIPxx tweeted: "Yikes, Leyla is so criiiiiinge #Emmerdale." @JordanPhelps21 commented: "Leyla that was OTT #Emmerdale."
But @mikepriestley13 asked: "Why isn’t anyone clocking on to Leyla behaviour other than Suzy? #Emmerdale." @WiniBoansi said: "Leyla is going to end up overdosing, is she continues. smh #Emmerdale."
