Next week’s Emmerdale spoilers show that Leyla’s got some life-changing news for Liam – she’s pregnant.
It’s been a devastating time for the newlyweds following Leanna’s tragic demise, and their marriage has been rocky.

Emmerdale spoilers: Baby bombshell rocks Leyla
Things are still difficult in the Cavanagh household, particularly as Liam and Jacob remain at loggerheads.
Leyla’s been caught in the middle of their feuding, and the strain is starting to show.
But it looks like she’s got more to worry about than the squabbling blokes in her life when she suspects she’s expecting.
Leyla buys a test and steels herself to find out for sure whether she’s right.
When the test comes back positive, it’s obvious that Leyla is struggling to process the news.
Given how things have been between them, Leyla isn’t sure how Liam will react.
So, the last thing she needs is for him to drop into their conversation that he can’t cope with any more surprises.
Liam closes it down
Leyla is poised to reveal the news until she and Liam have a chat that changes everything.
He talks about his mental torment and how another surprise might push him over the edge.
Leyla has already seen him totally destroyed by Leanna’s death, and she’s desperate not to upset him.
So, instead of revealing the baby news, she decides to hide the truth.
