Emmerdale’s Jacob ‘in danger’ as fans figure out Meena’s sick moving-in scheme

Emmerdale fans fear young Jacob Gallagher's life is in danger, as local villain Meena Jutla has been given the keys to his home.

Hapless David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) proved a poor judge of character on Thursday evening when he offered his girlfriend the opportunity to move in with him after a few months of dating.

Meena, played by Paige Sandhu, looked thrilled, clearly looking forward to setting down roots in the family – though she has made her dislike for Jacob clear.

The nurse is jealous of Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant), realising his dad puts him first, and has hinted she will do anything to get her own way.

Watching the key exchange play out, Emmerdale fans were certain Jacob's life was in danger, as they speculated over Meena's plans for stealing David.

One Twitter user was convinced Meena would frame Jacob for Leanna Cavanagh's murder, using the ring she prised from her dead body as evidence.

"So now she'll easily plant the ring on Jacob," they wrote.

Another wondered whether Meena would poison Jacob, penning: "#Emmerdale oh yes this is perfect ..now she can spike jakes food and drinks."

And a third made reference to abuser Maya Stepney – who previously groomed young Jacob – hinting the pattern would repeat itself with Meena.

"‘I want you to move in with us' Really David? Didn't he learn anything from moving Maya in way too soon?" they wrote.

It seemed Jacob was getting closer to the truth behind Leanna's mysterious death this week, when he realised the engagement ring was missing from her bedroom.

A panicked Jacob turned to Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) for answers, only for the grieving doctor to dismiss his worries, insisting Leanna hadn't been wearing the ring on the night of her death.

Meena and David walked in during their heated conversation, only for the murderess to realise they were speaking about the ring she was wearing around her neck.

As she touched her neck absent-mindedly, Meena realised it was essential to hide the token of the murder.

Now Meena has decided to move in with David, will Jacob find the ring amongst her possessions?

Emmerdale airs on weekdays at 7pm on ITV, with an extra helping on Thursdays at 8pm.
