Emmerdale airs sad but hopeful exit scenes for damaged Leyla

Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) is off to rehab away from Emmerdale.

The character finally accepted she was addicted to cocaine this week, after suffering a heart attack.

With her marriage to Liam (Jonny McPherson) and relationship with Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) on the line, Leyla had a choice – go to rehab and get clean or continue throwing her life away.

She decided Liam and Jacob were far too important to her – she was going to get better.

Before her exit, Leyla found Priya (Fiona Wade), who had taken on the role of Marlon (Mark Charnock) and Rhona’s (Zoe Henry) wedding planner in her absence.

The friends cleared the air – definite progress for Leyla, who had treated Priya so badly over the past few weeks.

Liam helped pack up Leyla’s things and placed them in the boot as she processed what was ahead.

When Jacob arrived, he handed Leyla a letter, something for her to look at on the days where she really wants to leave and return to the awful habit.

Taking one day at a time, Leyla was ready – and we look forward to seeing her back in the village healthier and happier.
