EMMERDALE revealed Maya Stephey is alive and well tonight after her terrifying showdown with Leyla Harding, Tracy Metcalfe and Priya Kotecha – and fans are horrified.

During tonight’s special flashback episode it showed how Maya survived a brutal attack before reuniting with Jacob and planning their escape.

The episode began with Leyla’s shock “confession” to Jacob that she killed Maya before flashback scenes showed the full story of what really happened.

However it soon transpired the paedo was still alive and somehow managed to meet her grooming victim, showing them in a hotel bathroom with Jacob reassuring her they would run away together.

Fans were on the edge of their seats as they watched the drama unfold with many revealing they hoped the women had actually killed Maya.

But as the curly-haired teacher pulled herself up and out of the ditch Twitter was flooded with their disappointment.

One wrote: “Is Maya immortal? Ffs Leyla you could have done a better job than that!”

While another added: “No f***ing WAY can Maya and Jacob get away with it after all that, this better not be the end”

And one fumed: “Why didn’t Leyla try actually checking for a purse before leaving

Maya alone in the bloody river? She should of at least taken her phone so if it turned out she WAS still alive she WOULDN’T be able to call for help”

But if Leyla believes Maya is dead, the evil teacher is still manipulating Jacob Gallagher without anybody knowing.

Fans dubbed Leyla, Tracy and Priya the ‘Witches of Eastwick’ as they forced Maya into a car and grew increasingly frustrated as she denied grooming Jacob. Even going so far to say HE had sexually assaulted her.

After Maya threw herself out of the car the women tracked her down and listened in disgust as she finally made a full confession to her disturbing relationship with Jacob.

Maya tried to escape them but Leyla caught her and after she made sickening remarks about her time with Jacob, a livid Leyla finally snapped and hit her head with a nearby rock.

Fearing she was dead, Leyla pushed Maya into a nearby ditch and lied to Tracy and Priya claiming that she merely ran off.

But Maya soon regained consciousness and met Jacob, who patched her up and told her he wanted to be with her.

Wednesday’s episode focuses on Victoria’s flashbacks that will reveal the night she was raped before returning to the present on Thursday.
