EMMERDALE fans think they’ve spotted a paternity twist that will tear the Metcalfe family apart once it’s revealed.
Jacob recently had a heated argument with his mum and dad on the soap after he discovered he was dating his dad’s ex-girlfriend Victoria.

When David found out earlier, the heartbreaking news forced him to leave the village to live with Priya and his other children.
But ITV viewers now think the hurt father could get revenge on his son by revealing a secret he might be hiding about Theo.
A baby boy was born in Emmerdale after Jacob’s teacher Maya robbed him.
She was later tried for the crimes, but when Theo was born, Jacob thought he might be the father.
David was dating Maya around the same time and took responsibility, telling his teenage son that he had received the results of a paternity test and that Theo was his child.
However, no one but David ever saw the test results, so he could have been making things up to protect his son.
Now that David and Jacob have bad blood between them, fans of the soap think the dad could return to the Dales and share the shocking news with his son to get revenge.
People took to social media to share their theories, with one person saying: “I’ve suspected for a while that Theo (David’s son) is really Jacob’s son and David took responsibility to avoid ruining Jacob’s future.”
Another added: “David is such a hypocrite about Jacob lying about Victoria… has he forgotten that Theo is Jacob’s son and not his? And Jacob doesn’t even know!”
A third questioned the idea, asking: “”I think… but I’m not sure… that after Theo was left on the doorstep and everyone thought the baby might be Jacob’s, that David took a paternity test and it turned out that he’s Theo’s father?”
But someone replied, “We only have David’s word for it because no one else has seen the letter!”
Jacob currently has a promising career as a doctor ahead of him, so if Theo turns out to be his son, it will ruin his future plans as he will have to put them on hold to support the boy.
