Emmerdale airs fresh fears for April Windsor amid secret visitor in ITVX release

Concerns about Amelia Flanagan’s (April Windsor) continued presence in Emmerdale grew, as the gravity of her experience weighed heavily on her anxious parents, Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) and Rhona Goskirk (Zoë Henry).

By Marlon’s bed at the hospital, he expressed his regret for failing to realize April’s pregnancy earlier. It turned out that she had known about her pregnancy much before she disappeared.

In my perspective, I had intended to confide in Marlon about something, but when Ross Barton (Michael Parr) revealed the truth behind Donna’s (Verity Rushworth) demise, it struck me that if he could conceal such a significant fact from me, then perhaps I too could hide my own secret.

Marlon then broached the subject of April’s online videos, where she had been seen taking drugs.

As a dedicated cinephile, I stand firm on my decision: this was all me, every step of the way. I’d meticulously shut out the noise, the chaos, until that magical instant when I felt a gentle nudge – the unmistakable kick of my tiny co-star stirring within.

April broke down in tears as she told Marlon that he and the family hardly ever noticed her.

In the midst of caring for her younger half-brother Leo, tending to young Ivy, dealing with Marlon’s stroke, and nearly separating from Rhona, April found herself stepping up to take on a stronger role.

Apart from acknowledging that she had stayed away for a prolonged period unintentionally, it was the unfortunate event of her friend Becca (Becca Ashton) passing away due to stab wounds that kept her away.

Marlon was shocked when he discovered that the girl whose body he identified was actually Becca, a mistake as he believed April was the one who had passed away.

April mentioned that the father of her child was merely an acquaintance she encountered at a gathering, and she hadn’t even learned his name.

April went quiet after this, leaving us wondering if her version of events was the truth.

However, as April questioned about their baby, feeling remorseful over the stillbirth, Marlon comforted April, asserting it wasn’t her responsibility.

April found herself unable to return home due to the intense guilt she experienced after leaving her baby in the restroom, causing Marlon deep sorrow.

As Ross breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that April was unharmed, adoptive mother Rhona went to see April. She wrapped her arms around the child and assured her that everything would turn out okay.

As an observer from afar, I found myself being Dylan – the kind-hearted young man who’d lent a helping hand to April.

Dylan slipped away unnoticed, while Marlon hinted to Rhona that “our shared memories of April will never return.

Will the pair manage to remain resilient during the delicate month of April, and will April meet with Dylan once more? Who is the father of April’s child?
