David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) took drastic action yet again in tonight\u2019s Emmerdale<\/a> (25th January), as he drove away from the village with young daughter Amba (Ava Jayasinghe).<\/p>\n

Amba\u2019s mother, Priya Sharma (Fiona Wade), has just accepted a new job in London<\/a>, and she intends to move there with Amba. But she\u2019s faced opposition from more than one villager. First, best pal Leyla Cavanagh (Roxy Shahidi) vented her fury when she accused Priya of stealing the opportunity that was meant for her.<\/p>\n

Priya had no idea that potential Take A Vow client Justin had offered the job to Leyla before her, only to tire of waiting for Leyla\u2019s answer. Impressed with Priya\u2019s resilience after her past trauma<\/a>, Justin gave the job to her instead. Leyla lashed out, but was regretful when she calmed down and realised that Priya had not betrayed her after all.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Leyla put her foot in it once more when she headed over to see David and Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell). She didn\u2019t know that Priya hadn\u2019t yet told David that she was taking their daughter to live in London, and David soon stormed over to confront the mother of his child.<\/p>

Priya apologised for not keeping David in the loop; but he was not impressed, feeling that she should have asked him for his approval. The situation seemed to settle down, and Priya kept to their planned childcare arrangements as she waved Amba off with David and her younger half-brother Theo.<\/p>\n

But, knowing that Priya needed Amba\u2019s passport in order to finalise her plans, David eyed the document in the glove compartment of his van.<\/p>\n

As Amba excitedly told her dad that her mummy was taking her on a \u2018forever adventure\u2019, David promised his kids an adventure of their own as he drove them away. It was clear that he intended to go into hiding, preventing Priya from leaving with Amba.<\/p>\n

Will David come to his senses, or might he end up facing huge repercussions for his reckless actions?<\/p>\n
