Emmerdale SPOILER: Pollard gives Maya an ultimatum

What will she do?

Eric Pollard is fuming to find evil Maya Stepney back in Emmerdale next week… and it doesn’t take long for him to deliver her a shocking ultimatum.

Soap fans have watched in horror as Maya has maintained she is the victim in this whole scenario as the police question her following her arrest.

But as Maya’s grooming storyline takes another new twist next week, we will see Maya out of police custody and back in the village.

For months Maya has groomed Jacob Gallagher, but her manipulation and lies were exposed recently when Priya saw the pair kissing after an evening out at a nightclub as part of Emmerdale’s Big Night Out episodes.

But sadly the sexual abuse case against Maya has been thrown into jeopardy as Priya, Leyla and Tracy have lied to the police about what happened after they all left the nightclub on that fateful night.

Soap fans will know that the trio followed Maya into the woods, where they got a confession from her.

But things took a dark turn when Leyla ended up hitting Maya over the head and leaving her for dead in a freezing steam.

But because the women aren’t being honest about what happened that night, it also means Priya hasn’t been able to tell the authorities that she witnessed Maya and Jacob kissing outside the nightclub.

Next week sees Pollard come face-to-face with Jacob’s abuser as she returns to the village having got out of police custody.

Pollard is shocked when he sees Maya spying on teenage Jacob, clearly determined to catch him on his own so that she can talk to him, but instead of confronting her, Pollard heads home instead.

Marching home with a determined look on his face, Pollard resolves to call the police, but just as he is on the phone, Maya comes in and cancels his call.

But while Maya does her best to manipulate Eric as well, he’s clearly not a man to be messed with and he’s soon offering her a deal.

Pollard tells Maya that either she goes and tells Jacob that she doesn’t love him anymore and ends things between them, or he will call the police and tell them of her whereabouts.

Maya is torn, but what will she choose?

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
