Emmerdale aired upsetting scenes on Friday night, as pregnant Leyla Harding experienced bleeding but did not tell her husband Liam
Emmerdale’s Leyla Harding broke down during Friday’s episode of the ITV soap, as she feared she was suffering a miscarriage.
Pregnant Leyla only discovered her pregnancy a few weeks ago, but decided to keep it from husband Liam Cavanagh amid his grief.
Liam tragically lost his young daughter, 18, in what police described as an accident – while viewers know she was murdered by evil Meena Jutla.
Leyla decided it was too soon to tell Liam about the baby in fear it would push him away, as he was struggling to cope with his loss.
But on Friday, Leyla decided it was time to share her news, only to feel pains in her stomach.

As she went into the toilet she was left panicked when she realised it could be the baby, but she hadn’t told Liam the truth.
Not wanting to upset Liam in case it was bad news, she instead ordered pal Priya Sharma to tell him that she had to rush off because of a work emergency.
Liam was waiting for her in the pub, but Leyla raced home where she discovered she was bleeding.
