EMMERDALE fans are in for festive shocker this yuletide season when paedo Maya Stepney abandons her baby on Jacob Gallagher’s doorstep.
This sensational Christmas plot twist will leave viewers wondering “who’s the daddy” as the child could be either her teenage lover’s OR his dad David Metcalfe.
Maya was seeing David while she was grooming and abusing young Jacob, before recent scenes revealed she was heavily pregnant after being released from prison.
It’s not yet been confirmed who the dad is, with this secret set to go on for a while after the baby is abandoned in the village.
Speaking at the Emmerdale Christmas press event, executive producer Jane Hudson teased the HUGE storyline and what fans can expect this festive season.
She said: “Who’s the daddy is being asked by David and Jacob, and Jamie and Graham this Christmas.
“You will find out who’s the daddy in one of those stories, but in another you won’t find out for a while. It’s very exciting and it’s very explosive.”
Last month viewers were left shocked when Maya returned to the Dales pregnant and just in time for Christmas.
Fans were left stunned just before the one-hour long episode came to a close, when the paedo was seen clutching a huge baby bump by the prison gates.
It came after Jacob attempted to call her when David told him she’d been released from jail.
After receiving the lovesick voicemail from her former student, Maya looked ice cold as she deleted his number at the prison gate.
The camera then panned over her huge pregnancy bump before she slunk into the shadows.
Fans were left wondering whether she was pregnant when she said goodbye to Jacob in an earlier episode before she was jailed.
But whether she’ll reveal it to Jacob and David in a twisted Christmas surprise remains to be seen, and fans will have to tune in to find out.
Maya was embroiled in Emmerdale’s controversial child abuse storyline after she groomed and sexually abused teen Jacob Ghallager for almost a year.
However, it looked like things were over for the paedo as she was whisked away by the police after David discovered her seedy secret and reported her.
The manipulative teacher was sentenced to a year behind bars but to everyone’s dismay only ended up serving five months.
