Emmerdale spoilers: David Metcalfe star reveals ‘change’ for character after Maya release
David Metcalfe’s (played by Matthew Wolfenden) most recent relationship ended in tatters on Emmerdale when he discovered that his girlfriend Maya Stepney (Louisa Clein) was grooming his son Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) however, Matthew has now spoken out on the future his character’s love life.
David was in a relationship with Maya who is currently serving a prison sentence for abusing his son Jacob.
Jacob believed he was in love with his teacher and thought she hadn’t committed any crime.
This was devastating for David whose emotions had been getting the better of him but it seems there could be some light at the end of the tunnel for the shop owner.
Actor Matthew has hinted change to his unlucky-in-love character’s future romance after he admitted he wanted David to be “wary” about getting into a relationship.

Speaking to Digital Spy, the actor opened up about where he and Jacob stand after Maya’s abuse.
He said: “On the surface it seems to be going well. There was never any real animosity between David and Jacob.
“David has never blamed Jacob for anything, he’s blamed Maya for everything. It was just David trying to get through to Jacob that he’d been abused by Maya and it wasn’t love.
“Jacob and Maya are not going to run away to a desert island together once Maya is out of prison, which was always Jacob’s dream. He’s managed to convince Jacob.”
The actor spoke about whether his character will find it difficult to move on after Maya.
“Yeah, I think he will and I sincerely hope we play that out as well,” he explained.
“I don’t know what’s happening at the moment, but in the advance scripts that I’ve got, he doesn’t just jump into bed with the next person – which he’s done for most of his life on Emmerdale in the last few years!”
The actor added that his character has had many short-term relationships and hopes that will change as he becomes wary of getting into a relationship anytime soon.
“I think it would not only make Jacob more wary of a new relationship, but David even more so,” Matthew said.
It is understandable why David will want to take it slow as he was head over heels for Maya after he met her and moved in with her.
What happened between him, Maya and Jacob will determine the decisions he makes in the future, especially those surrounding his love life.
