Emmerdale Spoilers – Jacob lies to the police over stabbing
This week on Emmerdale, David and Leyla plead with Jacob to lie to the police in the aftermath of last week’s shock stabbing.
As he recovers from lifesaving surgery following his shock stabbing last week, Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) is concerned when David (Matthew Wolfenden) tells him to lie to the police about the circumstances of the attack.
ITV
Jacob had gone to the viaduct to confront his mum Leyla’s (Roxy Shahidi) drug dealer, after he caught her in possession of cocaine, and made the mistake of taking a knife with him. As he threatened Callum (Tom Ashley) with the blade, the two tussled and Jacob ended up with the knife plunged into his abdomen.

When Leyla and David finally discovered Jacob the next morning, they rushed him to hospital, but not before Leyla had noticed the knife lying nearby and recovered it.
Whilst David told Leyla that he intended to tell the police everything, she pointed out the knife was one from home, meaning that Jacob was the one who took it to the scene.

Realising the implications, David agreed that they needed to keep quiet knowing that Callum could expose Jacob for inciting the violence if questioned.
Jacob is unsure, but ultimately agrees to go along with the plan and lies when the police come to question him.
In the meantime, with his shop and home up for sale, David worries about his son’s future. He’s later stunned when he receives an offer to buy the shop, from none other than his father, Pollard (Christopher Chittell)!
Whilst David is relieved that there’s now some stability for Jacob’s immediate future, and that he’ll be able to keep both his home and business, David feels guilty as he realises that Pollard and Brenda (Lesley Dunlop) have had to put their retirement travelling plans on hold to stump up the cash.
When Leyla later asks David for an update on what Jacob told the police, he refuses to tell her, and reiterates that he meant what he said when he asked her to stay away from Jacob…
