EMMERDALE viewers have been left sickened after paedophile Maya Stepney seduced Jacob Gallagher again - the day before she appears in court.
The teacher - who is played by actress Louisa Clein in the ITV soap - was saved from a group of abusive former pupils by Jacob in tonight's episode - and used the opportunity to abuse him again and get him to flee with him.
Evil Maya told him: "My mother's disowned me, no friends, no job, no life, a daytime TV habit and a new prescription of antidepressants from the doctor.
"I'd say my life is pretty perfect right now."
But as Jacob said he felt guilty over what had happened to her, Maya began to put seeds into his mind that they would run away together.
And she hinted that if he didn't, she would take her own life to get him to agree.
She said: "I've been so lonely, everybody hates me. I've got nothing, nobody. I've been in such a dark place.
"It's been breaking my heart having to push you away.
"If the worst happens and I get taken away tomorrow. And if I walk out of court a free woman then what?"
Jacob took the bait and told her: "We'll go away together, somewhere miles away from here where nobody knows us. We can be normal, we can be in love."
But she told him: "You have to be sure Jacob.
"I have nothing to offer you. You're everything to me, you're the only person on this planet that gets me, that understands.
"But you have to be sure that you love me enough. I love you, so much but you'll be leaving your home, your friends, your family, for me."
Viewers were sickened by her manipulations and took to social media to express their disgust.
