But his worries are leading him to lose everything he holds dear, including his relationship next week in Emmerdale.
David Metcalfe could lose everything next week
He recently framed his partner Victoria Sugden
He’s been trying to keep himself afloat financially
The shopkeeper portrayed by Matthew Wolfenden crossed a line by making his partner Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) get a ticket for a crime he actually committed.
When he finally comes clean in scenes due to air next week on ITV, Victoria is absolutely furious and threatens to go to the police herself if he doesn’t clear up his own mess.
David is left to plead his case in an interview room and hopes he has said enough to the investigating police officer.
Word of David’s betrayal gets round quickly as Victoria tells Ryan, Bear and Marlon about it all while in the Hide.
David then arrives to tell her the news but Victoria is at her wit’s end.
In later scenes, David finds Victoria moving her things out of their home, leaving him crushed when she breaks up with him.
Victoria is given a key to Dale View by Wendy Posner – but she’s struggling to convince herself she’s doing the right thing.
David is heartbroken but remains determined to try and win Victoria back.
He’s then annoyed to see Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) working in his shop but his father Eric Pollard explains he’s the new delivery driver, much to David’s ire.
David starts to break down in front of Bear as upsetting events pile up and the latter offers him some wise words of advice.
Bear leaves and David has a light-bulb moment.
Later on, Leyla Cavanagh and Pollard arrive at the shop to see it decked out in Christmas decorations.
But they’re not feeling festive – the pair are concerned that David is putting himself in more debt for the wrong reasons.
Victoria tried to help David with his financial issues in scenes aired on ITV earlier this year.
Prior to this, David was ready to commit insurance fraud after a minor collision with Nicola King, in an attempt to get some spare cash.
