Emmerdale: Priya left the Dales

In January of this year, Priya decided to leave the village with her daughter, Amba.

Before making this decision, Priya had been haunted by her past trauma but soon decided to look to the future when she was offered a new job in London.

However, David was furious that Priya was planning on taking Amba away. He then kidnapped Amba and trapped Leyla so that she couldn’t stop him from plotting against Priya.

Priya eventually managed to convince David to give their daughter back to her.

She then said goodbye to her family and friends before leaving for London with her daughter.
