But David’s departure had soap fans scratching their heads as the shopkeeper was recently seen lamenting about how broke he was.

He relayed to Leyla that Alicia had fallen off a cliff taking a selfie and has broken her leg and her collarbone.
Why has David gone to Portugal in Emmerdale?
David also managed to avoid any of the flight chaos affecting UK airports and bagged himself a same-day seat.
Concerned about leaving Leyla as she tries to quit using cocaine, David wanted to check in with her before he left.
Leyla told him she’d be fine and he would need to stop babysitting her at some point.
Unknown to David, Leyla is already using again.
And she’s in deeper than ever, agreeing to stash drugs in Take A Vow for dealer Callum.
Viewers took to Twitter to ponder how David can afford his jet-setting lifestyle just days after pleading poverty.
