Emmerdale spoilers: Paedophile Maya Stepney frames David Metcalfe for assaulting her

EMMERDALE paedophile Maya Stepney looks set to frame David Metcalfe for her assault next week.

The evil teacher – who is played by actress Louisa Clein in the ITV soap – was brutally attacked last night by a mystery assailant and while fans think it is secretly Jacob Gallagher, Maya seems intent on framing David.

In a first look video spoiler released by the soap, David sneaks into the hospital to question Maya about what happened and everything she has done abusing his son.

But after spotting the police returning to her bedside, Maya switches her attitude from defiant to scared.

Are you nervous?” she asks him as he tells her he won’t let her destroy Jacob.

But as she spots the police she repeatedly asks him: “Or what? Or what?” as if he is threatening her.

It comes as fans suspect Maya got Jacob to attack her to help her get a lighter sentence when she goes to court for grooming and abusing the schoolboy.

One viewer predicted on Twitter: “Obviously they’re going to set it up as David who attacked Maya but it’ll turn out to be Jacob”

Another fan wrote: “Wonder if it’s actually Jacob Or the doctor???”

And one more said: “It’s too obvious to be David”

Last night, viewers learnt that Maya only admitted to sending Jacob text messages and David was left convinced that she is playing the cops for a lighter sentence.
