Liv Flahtery has proof that proof about Maya

Emmerdale spoilers: Liv Flaherty has proof that Maya Stepney sexually abused Jacob Gallagher.

Emmerdale predator Maya Stepney (Louisa Clein) has been well and truly caught by outraged and hurt teenager Liv Flaherty (Isobel Steele) over her sex abuse of student Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) and despite Maya’s best manipulation attempts, Liv holds all the cards.

Liv had previously blackmailed Maya for £5000 to put towards Aaron (Danny Miller) and Robert’s (Ryan Hawley) surrogacy dream but tonight she had second thoughts when conniving Maya turned on the waterworks and gave a convincing performance.

But when she pushed her luck and patronised Liv with her toxic charm, savvy Liv saw through her and told her the truth would come out. Maya desperately sent Jacob to speak with Liv and as they talked, he told her that he and Maya were in love and they didn’t mean to hurt anyone with their affair.

As he also discussed sleeping with her and told Liv that it had always been Maya he wanted, Liv told him to get out. Jacob told a relieved Maya that he thinks Liv will drop it – but he couldn’t be more wrong.

Liv had recorded the entire conversation – and now she has a decision to make. Does she expose the truth about what Maya has been doing – or does she use the footage to carry out the blackmail.

Whatever happens, it isn’t long before Maya is caught out but with Jacob under her spell, will he forgive Liv for her part in outing the truth?

Or will he eventually see that he is a victim to Maya, not in a loving relationship?
