Emmerdale fans were once again reminded of Leyla Cavanagh's drug issues as she was tempted by a visit from her drug dealer. Unbeknown to her husband, Liam, and family and friends, the wedding planner is regularly taking drugs as she deals with the toll of the last year.
Her drug-taking came to light earlier this year when Suzy arrived in the village, leaving Leyla acting shifty. Fans of the ITV soap soon found out that it was because Vanessa Woodfield's new love interest is the woman Leyla had been partying and taking drugs with. This continued for a while in the village before Suzy decided she wasn't going to do it anymore.
She has since tried to warn Leyla about what is now an addiction but her pleas for her to stop have fallen on deaf ears. And during the latest instalment of Emmerdale on Tuesday night (June 21), Leyla's own drug dealer Jason Denshaw showed up at Take A Vow after seeing her picture in a recent magazine spread.

Jason tried to get some business from Leyla, suggesting she sell drugs on the side to her clients. He then tried to tempt a shaky Leyla into buying drugs off him but she insisted that she was "taking a break". However, she was soon forced to hide the two bags as Suzy walked into the office.
But those tuning into to popular soap were left distracted during the scenes as they recognised the man playing Jason as being Parry Glasspool, 30, who previously starred in Hollyoaks. He played Harry Thompson in the Channel 4 soap, the son of stalwart character Tony Hutchinson, until he was killed off in 2019.
