    Emmerdale spoilers: Heartbroken Sarah discovers she’s not pregnant after all

    There’s heartache for Sarah in next week’s Emmerdale spoilers when she’s told her positive pregnancy test was a false alarm. The shattering news is particularly poignant for the teen given her health struggles. Has Sarah missed out on her only chance to become a mum?

    Emmerdale spoilers: A baby bombshell for Sarah

    It’s been a turbulent start to the year for Sarah. After embarking on a romance with her longtime friend Jacob, the couple have been torn apart by the recent death of his mum Leyla.

    Grief-stricken Jacob blames Sarah’s uncle Noah for what happened. The tragedy would never have occurred if Charity hadn’t had to swerve the limo to avoid hitting Noah, who was wandering in the middle of the road at night. Sarah has tried to help Jacob in the wake of his terrible loss, but he keeps pushing her away.

    In the midst of all this, Sarah was shocked to discover she was pregnant. She took a test by herself on the day of Leyla’s funeral and it was positive. Sarah couldn’t bring herself to tell Jacob about the baby, but has shared her secret with gran Charity.

    Sarah finds out she’s not pregnant

    Charity offers Sarah support by accompanying her granddaughter to the surgery for a check-up.

    Manpreet examines Sarah and suggests her taking another pregnancy test, just to be certain. Sarah is stunned when the result comes back negative and realises the previous one must have been wrong.

    It is a devastating blow for Sarah, particularly as she was just getting excited about the idea of being a mum. Manpreet and Charity both feel Sarah’s confusion and pain as they watch her try to process it all.

    Sadness and regret for Sarah in Emmerdale spoilers

    The news of there being no baby has a deeper level of sadness for Sarah, who’s had battling health problems nearly all her life.

    Sarah was only six when she was diagnosed with fanconi anemia, a rare blood disorder which causes bone marrow failure. The severity of the illness means Sarah has a much shorter life expectancy than most.

    Well aware that she’s on borrowed time, Sarah tells Charity she may have missed her only chance of having a family. Will this crushing realisation send the fragile lass spiraling?

    Emmerdale spoilers: Marlon panics as Dylan threatens to expose his huge secret to April

    There’s relief for Marlon in next week’s Emmerdale spoilers when Dylan agrees to keep quiet about his crime. But will the lad go back on his word and tell April it was her dad who planted the drugs on him?

    Marlon is consumed with regret in Emmerdale spoilers

    Dylan’s presence in the village has really rattled Marlon’s cage. Fearing the troubled kid would be a bad influence on April, Marlon planted ketamine in Dylan’s pocket to make it look as if he’d nicked it from the vets. April believed Dylan was guilty and turned her back on him.

    But Marlon’s actions had near-fatal consequences after Dylan then suffered an overdose. He was rushed to hospital where doctors declared his condition to be critical.

    Marlon was devastated by the damage he’d caused and came clean to wife Rhona. She convinced him not to tell April, insisting it would make things even worse.

    However the guilt proves too much for Marlon as he decides to tell Dylan the truth.

    Dylan and Marlon make a pact

    Marlon throws himself at Dylan’s mercy as he confesses what he did. He tries to justify his actions, insisting he only had April’s best interests in mind when he planted the drugs on him.

    To prove how sorry he is Marlon offers to pay for Dylan to go to rehab and kick his drug habit.

    Dylan accepts the offer and tells Marlon there’s no need for April to know what he did. Marlon is deeply grateful for Dylan being so understanding. But is the teen really prepared to forgive and forget so easily? Hmm, we’re not sure.

    Marlon panics Dylan will go back on his word in Emmerdale spoilers

    Marlon is torn when he arrives at the hospital to take Dylan to rehab and the teen asks if he can see April first.

    He reluctantly takes him back to Smithy Cottage, where April is waiting. Soon the atmosphere is tense as April lays into Dylan over the stolen ketamine, wanting to know why he did it.

    Marlon is then left fearing the worst when Dylan announces he has something to tell April. Will he expose Marlon’s secret and risk destroying a family?

    Emmerdale spoilers: Dylan suffers an overdose after Marlon plants drugs on him

    In next week’s Emmerdale spoilers, Marlon tries to frame Dylan for a drugs theft in an attempt to get him away from April. But his plan backfires when the teen suffers an overdose and ends up in hospital. Will Marlon’s actions result in tragedy?

    Dylan is struggling to get clean in Emmerdale spoilers

    April’s had a tough time adjusting back to normal life in the village. In need of a friend, she returned to the squat to reunite with Dylan. The lad helped protect April while she was living rough, and she wanted to return the favour by getting him off the streets.

    Marlon was not impressed when April suggested Dylan stay with them at Smithy Cottage, but agreed to keep her happy. But with April still in a fragile state after the stillbirth of her daughter, Marlon is worried. He’s frightened of losing April all over again and aware Dylan is battling his own demons.

    With Dylan still hooked on taking spice, April decides to help him get clean. But as the week begins Ross suggests she seek help from a professional to help do that.

    Marlon frames Dylan for theft

    Meanwhile at the vets, Rhona is alarmed to discover a quantity of ketamine has gone missing from the drugs cabinet.

    With Dylan the most obvious suspect, Rhona and Marlon decide to confront their houseguest. Dylan is horrified at the accusation and denies any wrongdoing. But what will he say when the ketamine is found hidden in his coat pocket?

    April feels betrayed by Dylan’s apparent theft. But things aren’t quite what they seem because Dylan didn’t actually do it. Guilt-ridden Marlon reveals to Rhona he took the meds and planted them on Dylan to try and frame him. The chef’s confession leaves Rhona appalled as she tries to understand why he would do such a dreadful thing.

    Emmerdale spoilers: Dylan suffers an overdose

    Word soon reaches Marlon and Rhona that Dylan has suffered an overdose.

    Marlon rushes to the hospital where he finds Dylan in a critical condition. Realising that he could have killed an innocent youth, Marlon is beside himself.

    Marlon wants to alleviate his guilt by coming clean to April. However, Rhona rightly points out it would do further damage to the Marlon and April’s already fragile relationship. Will Marlon follow her advice and stay schtum? And will poor Dylan pull through?

    Emmerdale spoilers: Steph wants to report killer Ruby and Caleb to the police over Anthony’s disappearance

    In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, a chilling discovery makes Steph decide to report Ruby and Caleb to the police over Anthony’s disappearance. Is it game over for the killer and her co-conspirators?

    Steph is a woman on a mission in Emmerdale spoilers

    It’s been weeks since Steph last saw or heard from her grandad. She’s convinced her family are hiding something about his disappearance but doesn’t know what.

    Viewers know that Anthony was suffocated to death by Ruby, and Caleb helped her cover up the crime.  Aaron, John, Cain and Chas are also in on Ruby’s killer secret and are aware that Anthony was Steph’s real father.

    Steph’s suspicions continue to mount when she recieves a call from one of Anthony’s friends saying he missed their arranged meeting. It also hasn’t escaped her notice how on edge Ruby is.

    Intrigued by her mum’s fraught behaviour, Steph decides it’s time to do some digging.

    Steph makes a chilling discovery

    Shocked, Caleb finds Steph rooting through his office for clues on Anthony’s whereabouts. Realising that she’s onto him and Ruby, Caleb acts by enlisting Ross’s help. He instructs the Barton bad boy to put a stop to Steph’s mission, but it may already be too late.

    Steph’s search uncovers something Caleb definitely didn’t want found – the revolver he threatened to kill Anthony with. Horrified, she confronts her parents with the weapon and demands an explanation.

    Caleb admits he was planning to use the gun to shoot Cain dead and hopes this will be enough to throw her off the scent. But will Cain back up his brother’s version of events when Steph arrives at the farm wanting to hear his side?

    With Steph refusing to back down on her mission to get to the truth, Ruby begins to crumble.

    Caleb tries his best to offer his wife comfort and promises their secret is still safe.

    But Caleb’s worst fears are realised when Ross comes calling at the Depot with a worrying update. He reveals Steph is certain they were involved in Anthony’s disappearance and is intending to go to the police.

    Can Caleb find a way to stop Steph reporting him and Ruby?

  • Emmerdale missing family members: from Dingles to Miligans, where have these characters gone – and could any make a comeback?

    Emmerdale missing family members: from Dingles to Miligans, where have these characters gone – and could any make a comeback?

    Emmerdale is all about family, and every clan has members who are missing from our screens. But where are these characters currently? And what are the chances of them making a comeback to the soap?

    From the Dingles to Tates, Sugdens to Sharmas, here are all the faces we haven’t seen in a while. And there’s even one in there we’re yet to meet…

    Emmerdale missing family members: The Dingles

    Tina Dingle

    Tina’s return to Emmerdale caused a real stir. The long lost Dingle hadn’t been seen for 28 years before she rocked up at her father Zak’s funeral, with a brand new face.

    In the weeks that followed, Tina caused a lot of carnage. She tried to lay claim to Zak’s will, then dropped the bombshell that she was Vinny’s real mum and tried to blackmail Mandy over the secret. In the end, Vinny issued Tina an ultimatum – either stay in his life, or take £50k, return Zak’s will and leave Emmerdale.

    Tina showed her true colours by choosing money over family and with that she was gone. But is that it? Surely we’re going to see more from Tina in 2025, otherwise what was the point?

    Samson on the phone in prison looking worried

    Samson Dingle

    Sam’s troublemaking son proved himself to a real chip off the block. And following the tradition of many of his family members, he’s currently serving time in prison.

    Samson’s downfall came when he formed a friendship with local thug Josh Cope. The pair’s lies put Matty Barton in jail for a crime he didn’t commit and pushed the poor bloke to the brink. After months of living under his control, Samson found the courage to fight back against Josh.

    After attacking his former friend, Samson was arrested and sentenced to four years inside. That was last summer, which means there’s a chance Samson will be out next year if he keeps his nose clean.

    Nathan Dingle

    Only ever mentioned by name once, Nathan Dingle remains something of a mystery. He’s the eldest of Zak’s seven children and the only one we’ve never seen on screen. So what actually happened to him?

    The story – as told by Tina Dingle back in 1995 – is that Nathan disowned the Dingles after thinking he was too good for them. Tina claimed her brother was stuck up and ashamed of his roots. She also revealed the family had no contact with him since a fight broke at Nathan’s wedding.

    Interestingly the character has never been brought up in conversation again, but that’s not stopped fans speculating how and when Nathan could return to Emmerdale. There’s definitely potential for a story with the long-lost Dingle, and we’d love to know what he’s been up to all these years.

    Debbie Dingle in Emmerdale

    Debbie Dingle

    Debbie and her son Jack, who’s now 12, haven’t been seen since they moved up to Scotland in early 2021. They were living with Zak until his death last year, and Debbie was the one who broke the news to the family.

    It was thought she might come home for her grandfather’s funeral, but Cain revealed Debbie had decided to stay put. Fans are still hoping that a comeback is on the cards.

    There’s definitely a place for Debbie in Emmerdale, particularly with the recent return of her ex-lovers Ross Barton and Joe Tate. These two hate each other’s guts, but we’d love to watch them fight over Debbie. So bring her back and let the games begin.

    Emmerdale missing family members: The Fox-Miligans

    Nicky Miligan in Emmerdale

    Nicky Miligan

    Emmerdale is all about the Miligans right now, and it’s a shame Nicky is missing from the action.

    Caleb and Ruby’s son turned his back on the village – and them -  last year after growing tired of their toxic games. Nicky is now living abroad with his fella Suni Sharma and has limited contact with his folks. Steph is still on speaking terms with her brother, which gives us hope of seeing Nicky again.

    The next few months looks set to be huge for the Miligans, with the ongoing mystery of who killed Anthony. And we’re now wondering if we’ve been hasty in overlooking Nicky as a suspect in his grandfather’s murder? That would be one heck of a twist, but we’re here for it.

    Who are the missing members of the Tates in Emmerdale?

    Zoe Tate and baby Jean Tate in Emmerdale

    Zoe Tate

    Village vet Zoe was a central player in Emmerdale back in the 90s. The only daughter of Frank Tate, she made history as the first lesbian character in a British soap.

    Zoe’s life was always full of drama. She had a memorable affair with her brother Chris’s wife, Charity, was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and fell pregnant during a mental episode.

    Her departure in 2005, which saw Zoe blow up Home Farm, has gone down as one of Emmerdale’s best ever exits. For the past 20 years Zoe has been living in New Zealand with her daughter Jean.

    Sadly, actress Leah Bracknell died in 2019 from cancer, so unless they recast, we doubt we’ll ever see her again. But surely she’s due an off-screen death and tribute, which could then lead to the return of…

    Jean Tate

    Jean is the daughter of Zoe Tate and local womaniser Scott Windsor. She was conceived while Zoe was experiencing a schizophrenic episode and she had no memory of her one-night stand with Scott.

    Aged only two and half when she emigrated to New Zealand with her mum, Jean would be 22 now. We’d love to see how she’s turned out and if she’s inherited any Tate traits.

    Jamie Tate in Emmerdale

    Jamie Tate

    Kim’s manipulative son Jamie was proof that the apple never falls far from the tree.

    He spent most of his early years in boarding school after Kim was sent to prison. He also trained as a vet, married Andrea and became a father to daughter Millie.

    But everything went wrong when he decided to join his mum in the Dales. Jamie wrecked his marriage by getting Gabby Thomas pregnant, he also tried to bump Kim off by poisoning her.

    Kim wised up to Jamie’s game, so he faked his own death. He was later revealed to be alive and well, living with Millie and her gran Hazel.

    Will he come back to cause even more carnage?

    Millie Tate

    Little Millie would be 10-years-old now, but Kim seems to have forgotten the granddaughter that was once the apple of her eye.

    After the death of her mum Andrea, Millie moved away with her grandma Hazel and Jamie. She was last seen in 2022 when Millie and Hazel turned up to Thomas Tate’s christening.

    Emmerdale missing family members: The Bartons

    Adam Barton makes a call in Emmerdale

    Adam Barton

    Can you believe it’s been seven years since Adam went on the run after taking the blame for Emma Barton’s murder? He fled the country on the day of his sentencing, abandoning his past for a life as a fugitive. And it was all done to protect his mum Moira – Emma’s real killer.

    Fans were teased with the possibility of Adam’s return when Moira paid her son a visit last year. But he obviously feels it’s not yet safe to set foot back in the village.

    Actor Adam Thomas has often expressed a desire to revisit the character, so could 2025 be the year he comes home?

    Pete Barton in Emmerdale

    Pete Barton

    After Ross’s explosive comeback, fans predicted Pete wouldn’t be far behind his brother. But so far he’s kept away.

    Pete, who was played by Anthony Quinlan, is best remembered for the love triangle involving him, Ross and Debbie Dingle. He beat Ross to near death after discovering he’d been sleeping with his wife, and ended up in prison.

    The brothers eventually realised blood was thicker than water and made up. Ross relocated to Liverpool with girlfriend Rebecca White in 2018, and Pete joined him in 2020.

    We assume he’s still there as there’s because Ross hasn’t said otherwise. So will Pete be paying him a visit? Only time will tell.

    Emmerdale missing family members: The Sugdens

    Robert Sugden

    There’s not a year that goes by without rumours of Robert returning to Emmerdale. The slippery Sugden was one of Emmerdale’s most popular characters and his relationship with Aaron Dingle captured the hearts of millions.

    The pair’s love story came to an end in 2019 when Rob was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the manslaughter of his sister Victoria’s rapist Lee Posner.

    It has since transpired Lee’s brother, Luke, may have been to blame for his sibling’s fatal injuries. Now that sounds like a get-out-of-jail card that needs to be played.

    Robert’s return would certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons in terms of Aaron’s romance with John. But who doesn’t enjoy a spicy love triangle?

    Andy Sugden on Emmerdale
    Emmerdale fans would love to see Andy make a comeback (Credit: ITV)

    Andy Sugden

    There’s been an Andy Sugden shaped-hole in Emmerdale since 2016.

    The iconic character was played by Kelvin Fletcher on the soap for an epic two decades. Since quitting the role that made him a household name, Kelvin went on to scoop the glitterball in the 2019 series of Strictly Come Dancing.

    He’s currently starring in ITV reality series Fletchers’ Family Farm alongside wife Liz Marsland and their four children.

    Andy time in the village came to a dramatic end after he was framed by Chrissie White for the shooting of her father, Lawrence. Forced to go on the run, Andy fled with the help of Robert and ex-girlfriend Bernice Blackstock.

    Still a fugitive, Andy’s whereabouts remain unknown. But he hasn’t been killed off, which keeps the hope of a comeback alive.

    Diane Sugden in Emmerdale

    Diane Sugden

    Diane was the beloved landlady of The Woolpack for 17 years and the life-blood of the village. She was a true survivor – overcoming cancer, a near-fatal stabbing and being fleeced by her conman lover.

    Actress Elizabeth Estensen, announced her retirement from acting in 2021. Diane swapped the Dales for a new life in sunny Portugal, and it’s unlikely we’ll see her again our screens. Which is more the pity.

    Emmerdale missing family members: The Kings

    Scheming Sadie was a joy to watch (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

    Sadie King

    Superbitch Sadie was an absolute queen and one of Emmerdale’s greatest bad girls. Played by Patsy Kensit, Sadie wrecked havoc for two unforgettable years.

    The money-hungry minx was married to eldest King brother Jimmy, but only for his money. She had affairs with Cain Dingle, Robert Sugden and even Jimmy’s own brother Matthew.

    Sadie tried various ways to get her greedy mitts on the King family fortune, but ultimately failed. She made her great escape in 2006, and sent flowers for Tom Senior’s funeral in 2007. No one has heard a peep from her since, but we long for a Sadie comeback.

    Anya King

    Carl King had two kids. Now we know all about his wicked son Tom, but what about daughter Anya?

    While never a regular character, Anya has appeared in 67 episodes over the years. She moved to Saudi Arabia with her mum Colleen in 2010, then returned for Carl’s disaster of a wedding to Chas that Christmas.

    She was last seen on screen in 2012 after Carl’s murder. When Tom returned to the village in 2023 he revealed he and Anya were no longer close.

    Anya would now be 26 and has no family left after Colleen died of a heart attack in 2023. Perhaps she could pop back and give her old Uncle Jimmy a visit.

    Scarlett Nicholls

    One of the lesser known members of the King clan, Scarlett was the illegitimate daughter of Tom Senior and nurse Carrie Nicholls. Her existence was only discovered in the aftermath of Tom’s murder. As per her father’s will, Scarlett inherited 25 percent of Home Farm.

    She lived with big brother Jimmy after Carrie emigrated to Canada. Scarlett had romances with Aaron Dingle and Adam Barton, both of which ended badly.

    Scarlett left to join her mum abroad in July 2011, and made a brief return in October 2012. She’s not been spoken about since.

    Emmerdale missing family members: The Sharmas

    Nikhil Sharma

    Socially awkward Nikhil was Jai’s right hand man, and together they ran the sweet factory.

    He was also popular with the ladies. After a brief engagement to Maisie Wylde, Nikhil went on to marry Gennie Walker, and they had a daughter, Molly. After Gennie was murdered by serial killer Cameron Murray in 2013, heartbroken Nikhil decided he couldn’t stay in the village. He and Molly moved away to Canada.

    He came back for a brief stint in November 2015 when actor Rik Makarem reprised his role. Nikhil proposed to Leyla Harding, but broke the engagement off after realising she didn’t love him. He then flew back to Canada with Molly.

    The last mention of Nikhil was in 2017 when he contracted meningitis and Rishi, Bob and Brenda travelled to Canada to help look after him.

    Priya Kotecha

    Priya is the youngest of the Sharma siblings and spent 14 years in the village. Over that time she battled anorexia, almost died in a fire, had affairs with Cain Dingle and Pete Barton and a short-lived marriage to Rakesh Kotecha.

    After accepting an exciting new job in London, Priya and daughter Amba left the Dales in January 2023.

    That was two years back and there’s been no word from Priya since. We hope she’s having better luck in her new life.

    Emmerdale spoilers: Marlon attacks Dylan after mistaking him for April’s secret lover

    In Emmerdale spoilers, April has an emotional reunion with her homeless friend Dylan. But things turn ugly when Marlon gets the wrong idea about their relationship and launches a brutal attack on the lad.

    Emmerdale spoilers: Marlon fears April will do another runner

    April ran away from home at Christmas and endured several weeks of living on the streets. During that time she witnessed her friend Becca being stabbed to death, and formed a bond with a lad called Dylan. April also suffered a tragic stillbirth in the toilet of a local gym and was unable to save her baby daughter.

    Since her return home, April has been struggling to open up to her family about her ordeal. This has played into Marlon’s own anxiety and left him fearing  daughter could disappear again at any moment.

    When Marlon’s woken up by a noise in the night he dashes down to the kitchen to find April there. She’s frustrated and cross to realise her dad still doesn’t trust her. And when Marlon tries to explain his actions it only succeeds in making April even angrier.

    Marlon attacks Dylan

    As Marlon continues to fret, it’s clear there’s something playing on April’s mind.

    Once the coast is clear she makes her way back to a derelict squat in search of Dylan. The pair met when April was sleeping rough on the streets of Leeds. He rescued her from a local predator and brought her back to stay in his shelter. Dylan protected April and now it seems she wants to repay the favour.

    The youngsters share an emotional reunion, which is cut short when Marlon shows up and jumps to the wrong conclusion. Seeing red, the chef launches himself at Dylan and pins him up against the wall.

    Tensions continue to rise as April is adamant Marlon has no idea of the trauma she endured. Dylan tries to diffuse the situation and is able to persuade April to return home with her father, leaving Marlon feeling grateful.

    Later, Marlon agrees to give April the space she needs to process and she starts to soften towards him. Have the pair finally turned a corner?

    Next day, April invites Dylan into the shelter of her home for a hot meal and a catch up. Marlon is angry when he returns to find the lad there, but April springs to Dylan’s defence and declares that she invited him.

    April reckons Emmerdale could be just the place for Dylan, but Marlon isn’t so sure. He and April wind up in another row as they clash over what’s best for Dylan.

    After pleading her case April gets her way and Marlon agrees he’ll speak to Rhona about allowing Dylan to stay the night. Will his sleepover turn into a more permanent arrangement? And is Dylan going to find a home in the village?

    Emmerdale spoilers: Jacob is spiralling out of control

    Jacob’s world has been shattered by his mum’s tragic death. Leyla was one of the victims of the devastating limo crash, which also claimed the life of her colleague, Suzy. Although Leyla managed to escape the vehicle before it sunk into the frozen lake, her injuries proved fatal. Jacob was working in A&E at the time Leyla was brought into hospital, but there was nothing he could do to save her.

    A couple of weeks on from his terrible loss, Jacob remains in a state of shock. He still blames Noah for Leyla’s death after Charity was forced to swerve the limo to avoid hitting him. Jacob has also thrown himself straight back into work, but is not coping. As things become too much the trainee doctor ends up suffering a panic attack while on shift.

    Later, Jacob turns to alcohol to numb his pain as he downs drinks with Rich at the Hide. Belle and Laurel witness his worrying behaviour and fear Jacob is spiralling. Even Rich can see that his friend needs help, but will Jacob admit it?

    As Leyla’s funeral gets underway she tries to find the right moment to tell Jacob about the baby, but he declares he’s talked out before walking away.

    Emmerdale spoilers: Moira kicks cheating Cain out and calls time on their marriage

    Cain and Moira are over in Emmerdale spoilers for next week after she calls time on their marriage. Unable to get past her husband’s fling with Ruby, Moira orders Cain to move out of the family home. Is it really the end of the road for Coira?

    Emmerdale: Cain and Moira are in crisis

    Emmerdale’s once-solid couple have weathered some brutal storms during their 11 year marriage. But Cain committed the cruelest of betrayals when he slept with Ruby while Moira was undergoing life-saving surgery to remove a brain tumour. It was a moment of pure madness, which Cain and Ruby immediately regretted, but the damage was done.

    Since then Cain has wrestled with his guilt, but decided not to confess while Moira was undergoing radiotherapy. In the end, it was Ruby’s father Anthony who exposed the forbidden liaison to Caleb. Then all hell broke loose.

    With Caleb on the warpath, Cain knew he had no other choice but to tell Moira the truth. He confessed he’d been unfaithful and Moira looked as if her heart had been ripped out. For a while it looked as if the couple might have been able to work it out, but now it seems there’s no going back.

    Cain and Moira are both quietly devastated as the breakdown of their relationship suddenly becomes a reality. But amongst the deep sadness is a glimmer of light when Moira is told by the doctors her cancer has gone and she’s in remission.

    Later, the exes prepare to tell Kyle and Isaac about their break-up. But how will their sons take the news? Kyle is still deep in grief over the death of his mum Amy. Will the discovery of his family splitting up send him over the edge? And can Cain find a way to fix the mess he’s created?

    Emmerdale spoilers: April delivers a shock to Marlon and Rhona, but is it too soon?

    In new spoilers for Emmerdale, Marlon and Rhona are shocked when April announces she’s ready to return to school after the death of her baby daughter. But an upsetting event on the first day back results in further heartache for the grieving teen.

    Emmerdale spoilers: April is haunted by the past

    April may be keen to get back to normality, but it’s going to take a long time to come to terms with everything that’s happened to her.

    Marlon’s daughter ran away from home on Christmas Day and spent the next few weeks living rough on the streets. The full extent of April’s ordeal was shown during a special flashback episode, which revealed her shock pregnancy.

    Viewers watched in horror as April found herself in a series of dangerous situations. The episode ended with April going into premature labour in the toilet cubicle of a local gym. She delivered a baby girl into the world, but tragically the tot didn’t survive.

    Marlon and Rhona’s worlds were shattered when they learnt what had happened. April may have been safely returned home to them, but the grieving process has only just begun.

    April makes a brave decision

    Emotions remain raw after April and Marlon’s visit to the Chapel of Rest to see her daughter’s coffin. The enormity of the occasion proved too traumatic for April, who fled the church in distress. Marlon was left behind to say a heartbreaking farewell to the grandchild he never got to meet.

    Afterwards, April made out she wasn’t affected by the ordeal, but her family feared she was masking her pain. April has also refused to disclose her baby daddy’s identity, claiming to Ross was some lad she met at a party.

    Rhona has refused to give up on her stepdaughter and reassured April she’s there for her, whenever she’s ready to open up.

    It seems that moment has come when April expresses her gratitude for Rhona’s kindness and support. She also reveals she’s decided to register the birth of her stillborn baby. Will this help start to heal her pain, or cause even more distress?

    Emmerdale spoilers reveal more upset for April

    Later, Marlon and Rhona are surprised when April declares she wants to return to school tomorrow.

    Next morning, April heads off, hopeful of a fresh start. But those hopes are dashed when she overhears two fellow students gossiping about her. Realising she’s the talk of the school, April is left feeling more isolated than ever.

    Was it too soon for the traumatised teen to return to school? And can April find a way to move forward?
