Liam Cavanagh (played by Jonny McPherson) and Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) have reached a point in their relationship where they want to make it official by telling others in Emmerdale they’re an item. While that would be a reason for happiness, might Leanna (Mimi Slinger) use this as an opportunity to tear them apart?
Liam and Leyla have been on and off more than a light switch, but after months of dancing around one another they have become a couple.
For them, it’s been a long road to reach this point, with many barriers in their way.
But the most difficult obstacle has yet to be tackled – Liam’s daughter, Leanna, who has vehemently objected to Leyla occupying a space in her dad’s heart.
She is still certain Liam should do whatever it takes to win back Bernice Blackstock (Samantha Giles), even if it means a trip to Australia.

This is despite Bernice fleeing to Australia just hours before she was due to marry Liam, because she wanted to escort her daughter Dee Dee to see her seriously ill father Charlie, Bernice’s third husband.
Liam was left confused by Bernice’s non-committal answers to when she would be returning to the Dales, thinking they still had a future together. And subsequently, the attention was Leyla was well received.
However, when Leanna found out her dad and Leyla had kissed, she wasn’t impressed and tried her very best to convince Liam to win Bernice back.
Teaming up with Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham), the pair threatened Liam with blackmail, demanding he dump Leyla in return for not telling Diane Sugden (Elizabeth Estensen) about his kiss.
Diane, Bernice’s mum, eventually learned about their stolen embrace and was as unhappy as Leanna.
Somehow Liam and Leyla have managed to sail through the turmoil of the last few weeks and are ready to share the news they are a couple.
Which means Liam has to broach the subject with Leanna – and that’s where his problems might start.

Given Leanna’s strong, almost physical disapproval of Leyla, she could well give her dad consent to start a new relationship, but have another intention altogether.
While outwardly appearing friendly, Leanna could start to build a story to undermine Leyla completely, given how Liam and her kissed while technically still engaged to Bernice.
Leanna could start spreading a rumour Liam and Leyla have been conducting an affair for months, and it was their sneaky romance which convinced Bernice to leave.
Leanna might even be able to rope Gabby into helping her construct an elaborate tale to drive a wedge between the two.
