In Emmerdale spoilers for Christmas week, youngster April Windsor spirals out of control.
The teenager was left shaken last week after she was abducted by menacing Jade, over cash she thought Ross Barton had stolen.
As leverage, Jade dragged April to a location that was terribly familiar to Ross: a multi-storey car park where April’s mum and his ex, Donna, died in 2014.
And Emmerdale spoilers for later this month reveal that things are set to take a more dramatic turn for April…

Emmerdale spoilers: April spirals
Last week saw April’s life hang in the balance. Rushing to the rescue, Ross managed to avert disaster – although this was more thanks to the arrival of Aaron and Mack, with Jade’s money.
Saved by Ross, April and Ross then headed back to the village. However, there was worse to come as she learned about the tragic circumstances behind mum Donna’s death.
Understandably, April was shaken to learn that her mother had taken her own life at that very same car park.
And fans will see another side to April later this month, as she struggles to come to terms with the past few weeks.

Robert return on Christmas Day speculated
After show boss Iain Macleod said in an interview with Digital Spy back in September: “This Christmas, there is a huge surprise arrival on Christmas Day,” many fans have speculated it’s the return of Robert Sugden.
Currently serving time in prison for killing sister Victoria’s rapist Lee Posner, Robert was Aaron’s one true love. They weathered many a storm together, but Rob let Aaron go when he was sent down.
Aaron has proved he’s not quite forgotten Robert – as displayed when he found out Rebecca had died and left Robert’s son, who Aaron doted on, without a mother. John picked up on his residual feelings for Robert and it made things awkward.
But after actually talking about it, they decided to move on and move forward together. This declaration of love is the next stage in that. But could Robert return and mess everything up again? Who knows, but it’s certainly what the fans want!

Brenda and Eric are falling apart
It’s not been a good time for the couple recently. Eric couldn’t get hold of his usual medication and his new medication made him act impulsively. However neither realised that could be a side effect of what he’s been taking.
Eric proposed to Brenda and then splashed the cash on a lavish engagement party, plus a honeymoon cruise around the world. Brenda was particularly delighted when she realised they’d be stopping in Canada to see her granddaughter Molly.
Then the financial advisor’s phone number went dead, both Eric’s and Brenda’s accounts were completely empty and Eric realised he’d been scammed. The police said they couldn’t do anything as Pollard had invested the money willingly.
Brenda said she couldn’t ever get over it, especially when she realised he only proposed because of the influence of the meds. But she then vowed to stand by him, although later admitted to Bob she was only staying because Pollard is ill and couldn’t cope alone.
So will this latest turn of events be enough to make Brenda realise she’s can’t stay? We know actress Lesley Dunlop who plays Brenda is leaving, so will this be the thing that drives her away from Emmerdale?

But Charity has made a big mistake because her arrival and her attitude makes Tom smell a rat. He very quickly realises that Charity is only there because Belle is spiralling. Charity soon regrets her interference, but is it too late?
Tom thinks he’s won and tells solicitor Ollie that Belle won’t be testifying. Confident that he will get off on all charges, Tom is gleeful. But is he right? Or will Belle prove him wrong and find the strength to turn up?

Will reels Kim in in Emmerdale spoilers
Now, we’re not entirely sure who’s scamming who if we’re totally honest! Does Kim know everything and have a plan up her sleeve (we really hope so) or is she oblivious and thinking Will’s being Mr Romantic? Either way as the week before Christmas begins, the couple appear all loved up.
Kim is touched when Will suggests they keep their vow renewal ceremony intimate. And by that he just means the two of them. But Kim is a bit concerned when he doesn’t intend to invite family.
So she takes matters into her own hands and invites Dawn and the kids herself. Dawn is thrilled and says of course they will be there. Kim bites the bullet and also asks the family to move back into Home Farm.
After all Billy’s done, Dawn should be in charge! (Credit: ITV)
Billy throws a tantrum
Now, this is a timely invite because Jai soon gives Dawn and Billy a week to vacate Holdgate. The problem is, Billy is adamant he will not be moving back to Home Farm. Tricky.
Given everything he’s done lately, we don’t really know if Billy’s in any position to call the shots. However he remains firm there is no way he will go back there. It doesn’t matter that his family don’t have a roof over their heads, apparently his pride is more important.
They do get some good news that Evan could come home for Christmas, but the trouble is, he needs a home to go to!

Then when she turns up with her belongings to move back into Home Farm, Will is in a complete state. He desperately tries to persuade her not to come and live there again.
But with nowhere else to turn and no one else to house her family at Christmas, can Will really push his daughter away? Will he put his plot against Kim first? Or will he come to his senses and save Dawn?
