Emmerdale spoilers: Victoria Sugden loses everything as David Metcalfe sets her up for a crime
VICTORIA Sugden has given nothing but support, both emotional and financial, to David Metcalfe.
But the Emmerdale shop owner takes advantage of her giving nature next week, framing her for a crime he committed.
David (played by Matthew Wolfenden) faced serious financial issues following the Covid pandemic and his business was in jeopardy.
And after trying to file a fraudulent insurance claim following a car collision with Nicola King, David turned to Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) for help.
Unfortunately, this has apparently convinced him he could lean on her for anything - even if it means causing her trouble.
Coming up on ITV, David shuffles through the post in his shop and comes across a letter addressed to his other half from the Police ticketing office.
