Over the Christmas period, he found out he was the father of Maya Stepney’s (Louisa Clein) newborn baby.
Evil Maya had left her son on their doorstep without any clue as to who the father was.
David and son Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) both took DNA tests after concluding either of them could have been the father to the baby.
However, David pleaded with Dr Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) to manipulate the results to ensure Jacob was not revealed as the dad.
With David, Jacob and Liam all having been involved with twisted Maya, is David the real father or is there a further twist to come?
