Fans of Emmerdale reckon they may have spotted proof that Maya Stepney isn’t having Jacob Gallagher’s baby.
Fans were shocked last week as the paedophile teacher was released from prison early – and very visibly pregnant.
Now they have pointed out that Maya must know who the father of her baby is and how it won’t be Jacob Gallagher – because the baby would be proof she abused him and would send her back to prison.
One said: “I think that, at the time of the trial, Jacob maintained that sex had not taken place, so Maya got a light sentence, just found guilty of grooming a pupil.

“If the baby is Jacob’s, that will be a different offence and she will go back to prison.”
A second said: “Let’s just ignore the fact that a baby would be proof she slept with Jacob and get her sent right back to jail, for a much longer spell. #Emmerdale”
A baby would be proof she slept with Jacob.
A third said: “Agreed. Maya wouldn’t risk that.”
Other fans were left disappointed by the twist claiming it was sensationalising what should have been a serious storyline.

One said: “Maya is pregnant!! Wow, #Emmerdale really likes to link the abuser to their victims. It’s disgusting.”
A second said: “What is it with the producers of Emmerdale, they can’t get anything right.
“First Maya is pregnant now Luke and Wendy are there when Vic goes into labour, her rapist’s family?
“Do these producers have any experience at producing a show it’s like amateur hour🙄.”
A third said: “Wait… Maya is pregnant? Another pregnancy that is a result from rape? Sigh…#Emmerdale.”
Another added: “Just when i thought #Emmerdale couldn’t sink any lower… Maya is pregnant 🙄🔫.”
