Throughout all David’s dramas – his testicular cancer diagnosis and treatment, his many, many wives and girlfriends, his doomed romance with serial killer Meena – Jacob’s been right by his side.
Even when Jacob himself was at the heart of the drama, with David’s girlfriend Maya grooming him and seducing him, the bond between father and son stayed strong.
But could it be about to break?
Emmerdale spoilers tease that this could be the end for David and Jacob.
Christmas friends
Jacob is hanging out with some of his new university friends as Christmas approaches. And wanting to impress his fellow medical students, he makes the heartbreaking decision to tell them a fib.
He thinks it’s just a little white lie but it has big repercussions for the festive season with the Metcalfe/Pollard/Gallagher family!

Jacob introduces his friends to mum Leyla, and her almost-ex-husband Liam Cavanagh.
And he tells his mates that they’re his parents – that Dr Liam is his dad.
No harm done, right?
Wrong.
Tough times for David in Emmerdale spoilers
