Emmerdale will be delivering a deeply emotional episode next week as the village gathers to say goodbye to Leyla Harding. The beloved character lost her life in last week’s dramatic limo crash and left her son and other villagers in grief. Although Leyla is gone, Roxy Shahidi returns in a special way.
Leyla’s Voice Echoes Through the Village
On Thursday, March 6, she lends her voice to a moving tribute during the funeral. In a newly released spoiler clip, Leyla’s voice plays over scenes of the villagers preparing for the service. Shahidi admitted she felt “very shocked” when she learned about Leyla’s death. However, she saw it as a compliment when a producer told her, “You have to be worth killing” to receive such a dramatic exit.
As the day of Leyla’s funeral arrives, sadness fills the village. Everyone tries to stay strong, but emotions run high as they come to terms with her loss. Saying goodbye isn’t easy, and for some, it brings back painful memories. Old tensions resurface, and a few villagers must face regrets they’ve been avoiding for too long.
Leyla’s son, Jacob Gallagher, faces a devastating moment in next week’s episodes. In a separate spoiler clip, a patient arrives at the hospital with injuries identical to Leyla’s. Overwhelmed, Jacob freezes and fails to act, showing just how deeply his mother’s death has affected him. Meanwhile, Joe Tate ignores Kim Tate’s warnings and continues seeing Dawn Fletcher.
A third spoiler clip from Monday’s episode reveals their latest secret meeting at Home Farm. However, their affair nearly got revealed when Dawn’s husband, Billy, arrives home unexpectedly. The two manage to compose themselves just in time, but their risky behavior suggests trouble ahead. It will be interesting to see how these Emmerdale spoilers unfold in the upcoming week. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily to see how it all unfolds.
