Emmerdale fans convinced David isn't really baby Theo's father as twist 'rumbled'

Emmerdale viewers are still convinced a major twist is on the cards regarding baby Theo's paternity.

David Metcalfe was confirmed as the biological dad of Theo, the baby son of Maya Stepney, earlier this year.

The baby was dumped on their doorstep over Christmas, before they soon realised whose baby it was.

David's ex Maya had been in prison for grooming stepson Jacob, before having an underage romance with him and convincing him they were in love.

Jacob and David were torn apart by the betrayal, but more so because Jacob refused to believe he had been groomed.

The pair are now back on track with Jacob realising what had happened to him, while the baby bombshell threw a spanner in the works.

Either Jacob or David could have been the father, while some viewers even questioned if Maya's ex Dr Liam Cavanagh could be the secret dad.

But the test, which Liam sent off, came back with the result that David was the dad.

Viewers still aren't convinced though, and seeing Jacob holding baby Theo on Monday only encouraged many to predict a twist was on the way - especially after David finally heard from the court that he was officially Theo's parental guardian.

Many raced to Twitter to share their theory that it would soon come out the test was wrong, and that Jacob was Theo's real dad.

One fan said: "I still think that Jacob is Theo’s dad."

Another agreed: "Anybody else still think Jacob is that babies daddy? Just me? OK…"

A third added: "I still don't think the baby is David's more Jacob."

Meanwhile a fourth said: "Jacob holding his son!"

To be fair, David had told Liam that the result needed to say he was the dad and not Jacob, with many left wondering if Liam fixed the test results.

Emmerdale airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7pm on ITV.
