Emmerdale’s Maya Stepney (played by Louisa Clein) has been on elf the worst villains seen on the ITV soap for many years.

Now, she has been arrested for her crimes but it seems the ending to the Emmerdale story could turn out to be a harrowing affair. According to the Metro, David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) might discover there’s nothing she can charged with. Related articles Emmerdale spoilers: Victoria Sugden makes life-changing decision?
