EMMERDALE fans believe the social worker who has been visiting Cain Dingle could be the one to expose paedophile Maya Stepney.
Some viewers have speculated she will become suspicious after spotting Maya with a school uniform-wearing Jacob Gallagher when leaving Cain’s home.
Sharing their theory online, one wrote: “Just had an interesting thought with this after the mention of the NSPCC, where it is the social services worker that is visiting Cain, Amy and their families who stick their noses in.
“As she leaves the village she sees them together, Jacob in school uniform and starts an investigation.”
Fans have also suggested Maya, who is played by Louisa Clein, will manipulate Jacob into killing her boyfriend – and his dad – David Metcalfe.
Maya has been infuriated by David interrupting her twisted romance with the underage lad in recent weeks.
Viewers believe she will urge the 16-year-old to murder his adopted dad, with one insisting: “She’ll try and manipulate Jacob into killing David, so they can be together.”
Another agreed, posting: “I was actually thinking along those lines myself.
“She insists she wants to be with Jacob all the time so how is she going to get rid of David?”
Soap fans have been horrified by the ongoing grooming storyline which has seen sick Maya sleep with the teenage son of her boyfriend.
Many have said they “can’t watch” and have urged ITV to wrap up the sickening storyline early.
They were also frustrated when David missed yet another clue that his girlfriend was abusing his son.
The Sun revealed this morning how the net will begin to close on Maya next week when David returns early from his trip.
