Emmerdale's Maya abandons baby on Jacob's doorstep in Christmas bombshell

Emmerdale bosses have confirmed two Christmas baby bombshells, both resulting in a Who's the Daddy? twist.

One of these plots appears to see paedophile Maya Stepney leave her newborn baby on the doorstep of her victim and stepson Jacob Gallagher, and his father David Metcalfe.

Maya was seeing David while she was grooming and abusing teenage Jacob, before recent scenes revealed she was heavily pregnant after being released from prison.

It's not yet been confirmed who the dad is, with this secret set to go on for a while after the baby is abandoned in the village.

The second baby plot of the year sees the truth about Millie Tate's paternity confirmed.

Graham Foster will ruin Christmas for the family when he confirms he could be Millie's dad, after a fling with Andrea years ago.

Jamie Tate, Andrea's husband, will discover pretty quickly whether he or Graham is the father.

The scenes will air in the lead-up to Graham's 'grisly' murder in January 2020.

Speaking to Mirror Online and other publications at the Emmerdale Christmas press event, Executive producer Jane Hudson teased the two huge storylines and what was to come.

She said: "Who's the daddy is being asked by David and Jacob, and Jamie and Graham this Christmas.

"You will find out who's the daddy in one of those stories, but in another you won't find out for a while. It's very exciting and it's very explosive."

She added: "I think David and Jacob have been on such a journey. We got to a point where Jacob had started to move on and get his life back on track.

"He'd started to behave his age again, like a teenager. David was getting back on track too and life was good.

"They're having a nice Christmas, then all of a sudden there's a baby on the doorstep. It's not what they expected.

"It's going to have a massive effect and when they find out who the father is... if it's Maya's baby. For both of them it's going to have a massive effect.

"But for whoever the dad is, it's going to have a massive impact."

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
