FANS were delighted to see soap favourite Leyla Harding make a return to the Dales on Thursday (November 9, 2023).
But as she did so, two Emmerdale residents secretly locked lips, prompting viewers to speculate a baby twist was in the works.
Pregnancies are seldom gleefully celebrated in the eponymous ITV village as they often come hand in hand with lies, secrecy and betrayal.
Earlier this year, Charity Dingle was heartbroken to discover her husband Mackenzie Boyd had fathered Chloe Harris' baby boy Reuben.
The love triangle ended in a horrific car crash and viewers have been expecting more explosive twists and turns - but they may have to wait as history will be repeating itself in another household.
The Yorkshire-based drama was back on our screens last night for an hour-long instalment and fans are certain another pregnancy is on the cards for Tracy Robinson (portrayed by Amy Walsh).
Unfortunately, her bundle of joy could be coming along with a bunch of trouble as she'll likely struggle to figure out who the father is.
Nate Robinson's bride shared another passionate kiss with Caleb Milligan (Will Ash) last night, shortly after Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) came back to the Dales... despite making plans for a night out with the wedding planner.
Just as they kissed, however, Nate (Jurell Carter) was seen coming out of their home - could he have spotted his uncle with his wife?
To top it all off, Leyla offered to be Tracy's business mentor.

The situation was messy enough for viewers to swarm over to X and speculate that a surprise pregnancy was in the works.
"Tracey is gonna be pregnant very soon by the looks of things", one of them commented.
Another agreed: "Tracy and Caleb start sleeping together and Tracy wonders who the father is. It is the Emmerdale way."
"So is this the affair that's coming up and Tracy gets pregnant?", a third viewer echoed.
Infidelity has already been a part of Tracy's relationship with Nate as he was once caught cheating on her with another woman.
The revelation ultimately led to Tracy leaving the village with their daughter Frankie but in a surprising development, she returned and tied the knot with Nate.
