Leyla Harding made a surprise return to ED at Christmas and has been back on our screens since.

What do you think of her return?

She's a lot more likeable than last time, and a thousand times more endearing than Alica, David or Jacob combined.

I've been a bit confused by her attitude. If she was the one who dumped David and left him in debt, why does she have such an attitude with him? She seems to love slagging him off with Priya, like she's the one who was dumped. I don't understand it.

Besides that, I like having her back.

What is she trying to do re Jacob? Does she want to take him away from Alicia?

I think she is well jealous that Alicia, David were happy before she reappeared, so she is out to cause maximum trouble and then will bugger off. But, with or without Jacob?

Do not like this character at all, can't see the point of her except for her to hang around Priya and shove her nose in.

She's okay. I wasn't a fan of hers the first time round and she's pretty much the same.

I love having her back! I always found her exit didn't make a lot of sense and i disliked the way the writers made her seem like a right cow leaving David with all these debts just to make Alicia look more endearing in comparison. I loved David and Leyla as a couple as well which is why i've always found David/Alicia very unconvincing as a couple. Saying that though i like that they haven't shown Leyla to still by pining after him as it would by way to much to have Alicia, Priya and Leyla all in love with him at once. I've always found her quite funny and i love her relationships with Alicia, Jacob, Katie and Priya so i hope she'll be around for a good while yet and that they've got some bigger storylines planned for her than they did in her first stint.

She's alright. Pointless though.

Totally agree. Now that Alicia, David and Jacob have got together, it would appear there is not any further they can go. Time to cull them IMO.

I don't like the way she spoke to Alicia in the last episode when Alicia figured out that Priya really does have an eating problem that would be affecting the baby. It's like she basically said "You're going to hurt David if he stresses Priya out too much and impacts the baby if you do tell him but if you don't then David will never forgive you if anything happens. Up to you." What an impossible position to be in.

Buts its none of Alicia's business. If it wasn't for her Priya wouldn't be in this position.

I missed her the first time round but I must say I really like Leyla as a character.

I think the actress is also very good IMO. It was funny when the idiot David was wishing her a happy birthday..

I think it's because she sees David for what he is, and what most people don't see, a spineless git of a man.

Voted "She is OK".

Not a comeback I was hoping for (that would be Nathan Wylde) but she has not annoyed me yet.

If that's true, it's a bit rich for her to judge considering she ran away from her problems the last time she was on the show.

I hope they bring Nathan Wylde back. Him and Leyla can become partners in crime.

True but we all make mistakes and she seems to be facing up to them now.

How

It's not Alicia's fault David is in love with her and not Priya.

Wrong. It's David's fault that Priya is in this position.

Wrong again: it is Priya's fault that Priya is in this position. She is the one starving herself, she is the one who knows she has a problem but refuses to acknowledge it or help. She didn't have to keep the baby.

I wasn't talking about David being responsible for Priya's eating disorder.

Priya should have used contraception. Yes it is also up to the man but the woman is the one who ends up pregnant. As for the original thread question I like Leyla. I hope she sticks around.

Is she? She only came back to the village because she had nowhere to stay and she's hardly trying to make up for what she did to David. Her attitude is just peculiar.
