David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) has turned nasty in tonight’s Emmerdale, confirming to Victoria Barton (Isabel Hodgins) and Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) he intends to lie about the severity of his injury just to gain extra money.

As viewers know, the pandemic and recent events have impacted business at the shop, meaning David has fallen into a considerable amount of debt.

This week, still traumatised after her recent attack, Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) accidentally bumped David’s van.

David decided to fake an injury and paid a visit to Liam (Jonny McPherson) at the doctors, who confirmed he was probably suffering from whiplash.

David decided the best way to pay off his debts was to claim on the insurance, despite being aware Nicola isn’t coping and doesn’t need the extra stress.

Victoria pointed this out in tonight’s episode, and even offered to help – they’re a couple of course!

The shop owner ignored his partner and simply said that he’s man enough to sort out his own problems.

What year are we in again, David?

Jacob and Vic continued to argue that lying about the severity of an injury is something David shouldn’t do, but he wasn’t listening.

Adamant this is the only way to clear his debts, it looks like David is set to go through with his plan.

But will the truth get revealed?
