    Emmerdale spoilers: Marlon’s fresh fears for April as they say goodbye to her dead baby daughter

    In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, April is supported by Marlon as they visit her baby daughter’s coffin in the Chapel of Rest. But will the sad goodbye help April come to terms with her devastating loss? Or end up pushing her even further away from her family?

    Emmerdale spoilers reveal April baby trauma

    The revelation of April’s pregnancy has sent shockwaves throughout the Dales. Marlon’s daughter went missing on Christmas Day, but no one had any clue she was expecting.

    In the weeks following her disappearance, Marlon spent every waking moment searching for April. He was ultimately unsuccessful in mission, but then PC Swirling came calling with the news that she’d been found.

    In a special flashback episode, viewers learnt the truth about April‘s tragic time living on the streets. It followed her as she moved from one dangerous situation to the next, and culminated in the birth of her baby. April went into premature labour and delivered her lifeless child on the floor of a gym toilet cubicle. Tragically, the baby was dead and there was nothing April could do to save her.

    The discovery of what happened has turned Marlon and Rhona’s worlds upside down. April may be home, but her ordeal is far from over.

    Lydia reaches out to April

    Next week, Marlon and Rhona are at a loss how to get through to April. The couple decide to reach out to Lydia Dingle, knowing that she experienced the trauma of stillbirth when she was a teenager.

    Lydia was just 15 when she gave birth to a baby boy in the bathroom of the children’s home where she was living. Unable to tell anyone what had happened, Lydia buried his body in the woods along with her secret.

    Understanding the kind of emotions April must be feeling, Lydia puts her own pain aside and opens up about her past. But will her words be of any comfort to April?

    Fears for April mount in Emmerdale spoilers

    Over at Smithy, April remains subdued as Marlon and April try to delicately discuss visiting the Chapel of Rest. The family make their way over to St Mary’s, where Marlon is transfixed by the sad sight of his granddaughter’s tiny coffin.

    The occasion soon proves too difficult for April. Overwhelmed, she rushes off, leaving Marlon to say an emotional farewell to the little girl he never got to meet.

    As they return home, Marlon and Rhona try once again to break through April’s barriers. But as they gently attempt a conversation they’re left troubled by April’s cold and detached behaviour. April doesn’t seem that bothered about the day’s sad events, but is she just masking her true emotions?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: April returned home as Charity learned about Dawn and Joe’s affair

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: April returned home as Charity learned about Dawn and Joe’s affair

    April Windsor returned home to her family in Emmerdale tonight – and quickly became overwhelmed by Marlon and Rhona’s pestering. Elsewhere, Joe and Dawn set some ground rules for their affair, unaware that Charity was listening in on the laptop she stole from Kim.

    Elsewhere, Leyla opened up to Suzy and Jacob about her recent spate of loneliness.

    Here’s everything that happened on Emmerdale tonight, Friday, February 7.

    April came home on Emmerdale tonight

    April’s refusal to come home, it turns out, had come to nothing. She and Marlon arrived back in the village bright and early, where she was greeted by Rhona Leo and Mary.

    It wasn’t long before half the village (well, Belle and Suzy) came blustering over to check in. From across the street, Ross wisely kept his distance, offering an amicable wave instead.

    As the family sat around the kitchen table, they continued to overwhelm poor April, trying to force toast and Chinese takeaway upon her, while Leo presented her with an unopened Christmas gift – a snow globe.

    Clearly overwhelmed (just give the girl some space!) she fled… and who can blame her. Feeling useless, Marlon sought advice from Bob, who told him that he needed to take control of the situation and give his daughter a little reassurance. Meanwhile, with April still not home, Rhona worried that she’d run away again.

    Ross found April at her mother’s grave. He apologised for pushing her away, and she shared the news that she’d been pregnant and had lost the baby – a little girl. She told him the father had been a random at a party, and he reassured her that, while what happened was awful, she was anything but. All that off their chest, the pair shared a hug.

    Back at home, Marlon and Rhona were about to launch a search party when April returned, with Ross in tow. As she retreated to her room, an upset Marlon bleated about his disappointment that she’d opened up to Ross instead of him. Just give her some space, man!

    Joe and Dawn set the ground rules

    Joe flirted with a regretful Dawn, who was insistent that their thing could never happen again. He promised to back off, but or how long? With Kim’s laptop still missing, Dawn accused Lucas of having taken it. Packing Billy off to look for the missing computer, she pondered texting Joe.

    That evening, Dawn had changed her mind again, and she laid forth the rules for their affair – no strings attached fun, and family are off limits. That said, they sloped off to bed together.

    Charity learned about Joe and Dawn

    Charity was attempting to hack the stolen laptop when Noah arose, nursing a hangover. She wasted little time in trying to talk him out of his big move again – there’s no Yorkshire puddings in Dubai! – but Noah was having none of it.

    Determined to find out what Joe’s up to, she enlisted Ryan’s help in hacking the laptop – which she was convinced was Joe’s, who she (correctly) believed had been behind Noah’s bad reviews.

    Computer whiz Ryan succeeded in opening the computer. Realising that it was Kim’s laptop and not Joe’s, they decided to have a snoop anyway. Happening across Kim’s file on Joe, they listened in on a series of boring business calls until Charity struck gold – activating the bug’s live stream, she began listening in on Dawn and Joe, learning about their affair.

    What will Charity do with this information?

    Belle and Suzy bragged about how many raffle tickets for the limousine prize draw they’d sold, but Leyla was in a sulk. Her mood continued all day, until she admitted to Suzy and Jacob that she’s been feeling lonely.

  • All the evidence that Billy’s days in the village could be numbered

    All the evidence that Billy’s days in the village could be numbered

    Could the Emmerdale cast be set to get even smaller? As news of an ITV soap schedule change was announced, it’s inevitable that we’re going to lose some characters.

    And it makes the most sense that the ones who are potentially going to go are the ones with minimal connections in the village.

    One example of that is Billy. With his marriage hanging on by a thread, his wife having an affair and literally no other attachments in the village, are his days numbered?

    Let’s look at all the evidence that suggests he could making an exit in 2025 – and maybe even in a body bag.

    Joe and Dawn’s affair leads to Emmerdale cast change?

    Currently Billy’s wife Dawn can’t keep away from Joe Tate, no matter how much she tries.

    After the pair slept together, Dawn was overwhelmed with guilt and told him it would never happen again. But in true soap fashion, it does continue.

    With the Joe vs Billy debate for Dawn, if her husband ever found out the truth, would he leave her? And if so, where else in the village could he even go?

    No loose ends

    Billy is one of the few people in the village that literally has no other family member there. So if anyone’s days are numbered, it’s going to be his.

    Most of the villagers all have someone else to turn to; family members or even close friends. But Billy seems like a lone wolf in Emmerdale.

    Of course, in the earlier years of Billy’s time in Emmerdale, he had quite a close friendship with Marlon Dingle, who was in a relationship with his mother. But as the years went on it seems the show has moved past their closeness.

    However, he has outlasted any of his family members. Both his mum and his brother, Ellis, have appeared on the show for lengthy periods of time. But neither lasted as long as Billy.

    So if he were to find out about Dawn and Joe, would he move away to actually be with his family?

    Emmerdale exit evidence: Could Billy die?

    Emmerdale kicked off 2025 with a lot of ominous flash-forwards that left us with a lot of questions.

    We know there will be a body thrown into the river by an unknown person. And while many assumed that was John getting rid of Anthony’s body – we never actually saw that.

    Could Billy find himself embroiled in conflict with someone – Joe perhaps? Or will he begin illegally fighting again and it goes wrong?

    Then there was also a hand stuck under the ice. And the hand was wearing a wedding ring. We know the huge ice stunt is coming up very soon. And Emmerdale has teased which cast members are involved. So could Billy be under the ice?

    If Billy does die, it opens up even more storylines for Dawn and his family, as she has just recently lost her dad, too. Then on top of mourning, she would be hit with guilt over her affair with Joe…

    Emmerdale exit evidence: Fan reactions to Emmerdale character Billy

    Over the last lot of months, Billy has not been a fan favourite character. In fact, some of his decisions have angered viewers.

    From actively ignoring Dawn’s advice about the boxing with Ross, to refusing to move into Home Farm when they hadn’t anywhere else to go. Billy hasn’t really been the family man he appears make out that he is.

    Before she began her affair with Joe, fans were even labelling Billy and Dawn as ‘painfully boring’ as the couple lost the spark they once had.

    So with all of the evidence, is Billy’s time in the Emmerdale village coming to an end?

  • Can Vinny do better than Gabby? We think so – here’s who he should be with instead

    Can Vinny do better than Gabby? We think so – here’s who he should be with instead

    In a small village like Emmerdale, one’s options might be quite limited – how else to explain the pairing of Gabby Thomas and Vinny Dingle? The couple first got together last year, and have been love’s young dream ever since, no matter how unlikely they might seem.

    Vinny’s first love since the death of wife Liv, Gabby came onto the scene in a new romance for the shy young Dingle. Together they have overcome his inexperience and her struggle with his colourful family – staying strong as he discovered the identity of his birth mum, Tina Dingle.

    But is there trouble in paradise already? Earlier this week, we saw Gabby’s eye start to wander – in Joe Tate’s direction. And, as she spent dinner with the Dingles that evening, it became evident that Gabby was starting to have second thoughts about her relationship.

    Emmerdale fans dismayed for Vinny as Gabby crushes on Joe

    Writing on a Reddit thread, fans debated their relationship, describing Vinny as ‘too lovely’ for Gabby, who they feared was on the verge of breaking his heart.

    “In last night’s ep Gabby came across as feeling too good for Vinnie, and the Dingles,” another noted.

    “I’ve never thought they should be a couple. I don’t believe Gabby would have been truly interested in Vinny as more than a friend to begin with,” said a third.

    “Vinny and Gabby are a mismatch. She’ll break his heart for sure,” another viewer commented.

    “She was weirdly snobbish about the family meal as well,” agreed a fifth.

    But if not Gabby, then who?

    Who should Vinny be with?

    For a while, it seemed as though Vinny was on track to be with Belle. He stuck by her through her abusive relationship with Tom King – copping a beating from jealous Tom for his trouble – and the pair have always shared a tender, gentle chemistry together.

    However, last year’s revelation put paid to that one – making Vinny a blood Dingle, and Belle his aunt.

    If not Belle or Gabby, then perhaps it’s time for a new love interest for Vinny – a new character we’ve not seen before, maybe. It’s a small village and, with the dating options so limited (Victoria, maybe? Or Ella, who’s about to leave), maybe it’s time to start looking further afield.

    Vinny, as one commenter said, ‘deserves a bit of TLC.’ Failing that, someone who doesn’t turn their nose up at Dingle pie – and isn’t so easily swayed by the superficial charms of scheming Joe Tate.

  • Aaron for adoption story in Emmerdale, plead fans – and they know just who he should take in

    Aaron for adoption story in Emmerdale, plead fans – and they know just who he should take in

    In Emmerdale Aaron continues to struggle after Anthony’s death, but fans are calling for a different route for his storyline.

    With April having been found, many viewers want her friend, Dylan, to be a permanent character. And they even know who could take him in. Aaron.

    In last night’s episode (February 6), Dylan was standing in the hospital corridor watching April reunite with Marlon and Rhona. And something tells us this won’t be the last we have seen from him. And with fans calling for more storylines for Aaron, could this be a new pairing in the Dales?

    Emmerdale Aaron to take in Dylan?

    In Emmerdale Aaron has always been someone people can turn to. And he has a history of taking people in to help them.

    He, himself was taken in by Paddy when he was younger. And then when Liv came back into his life, he was quick to let her move in with him.

    Not just that, but he even let Gerry move in with them when he had nowhere else to go. And he turned into a mentor style figure for the young boy before his death.

    Having a family around is something that evidently means a lot to Aaron. And when Robert went to prison and Rebecca took Seb to go live with her, Aaron was gutted. Then to make matters worse, he lost his sister. So could Aaron be ready to take on the parental figure role once again? Fans think so.

    Taking to a Reddit thread, fans discussed why Aaron would be the perfect candidate for taking Dylan in.

    One wrote: “He [Dylan] could come in and be fostered by Aaron. It would give a nice continuation of his own relationship with Paddy. And it would give Aaron something interesting to do. He would be able to understand him more since he had such a [bleep] childhood himself. Personally, I think Aaron would be a great ‘dad.’”

    Another backed up the idea, adding: “I agree. Emmerdale is in need of more teens. And Aaron needs a good story. I think it would be cool to see how he would handle raising a teen.”

    Fans want Dylan and Aaron friendship

    A third pointed out that even if Aaron doesn’t foster him, there is still a great chance of the pair forming a bond. As the Dingle could help him in other ways.

    They wrote: “If Aaron doesn’t foster him then he can still give him a job at the scrapyard. He could have some kind of big brother / mentor role.”

    However, another fan pointed out that they can see another Dingle couple taking him in.

    The user penned: “I think Lydia and Sam should foster him. With Samson and Esther gone, it would give them a little more purpose. He seems like a good kid, so he wouldn’t really be a problem other than having trouble building trust with others.”

    Either way, it’s clear that Dylan would fit in with a lot of characters in the village. And fans are very eager for him to stay. Especially as April could do with a solid friend in her life at the minute.

    Both grew emotional as she refused to come home, and talked of how she felt invisible within her own family. Amid the bombshell revelations and painful admissions, stars Amelia Flanagan and Mark Charnock delivered two powerhouse performances.

    Strong stuff, and the fans have taken note too.

  • Emmerdale: Joe clearly not talking to Dubai as eagle-eyed viewers point out he wasn’t on the phone to anyone

    Emmerdale: Joe clearly not talking to Dubai as eagle-eyed viewers point out he wasn’t on the phone to anyone

    Noah is planning a big move, with brother Joe Tate setting him up with a job in Dubai on this week’s Emmerdale. With his electrician’s business crumbling (thanks Joe!) Noah was all ears as Joe span stories of the glitzy life in Dubai.

    Won over with stories of free housing, a massive salary and the Dubai sunshine, Noah was eager to leave the village behind. And his mother’s protests otherwise only seemed to make him more determined to go.

    But is Noah’s job offer legitimate? Highly dubious, given that Joe wasn’t actually on the phone to anyone.

    Noah’s job offer fake, say Emmerdale fans as Joe pretends to make a call

    As Joe called his contact in Dubai on Wednesday, the camera zoomed in on his phone screen – revealing that he wasn’t calling anyone  at all.

    “Seriously, Noah needs to WAKE UP! Joe didn’t get you the job, he just pretended. The phone was literally blank, with no ongoing call,” pointed out one viewer on Reddit.

    “This is why it’s hard to fault Charity for being overbearing. Noah can’t look after himself, he’d get a phone call saying to empty his bank account to get a raffle ticket and go “yeah alright sure”,” another joked.

    Clearly, Joe’s not telling Noah the truth – but what does he have planned?

    Fans predict Joe’s dark plan for Noah

    Presuming Joe really does want to get Noah to Dubai, a number of fans have speculated that Joe’s planning on harvesting his brother’s organs when they get there.

    “Joe wants Noah in Dubai as it’s prob the only place that will do any dodgy operation for his body parts,” wrote one viewer on X as Wednesday’s scenes aired.

    “I wonder if there is something wrong with Joe that requires a transplant and he’s eyeing up Noah as a donor and wants to take him abroad for the op and away from Charity,” speculated another.

    “Does Joe wanna kidnap Noah and nick a kidney or something worse?” asked a third.

    What is Joe up to?

  • Who dies in Emmerdale limo lake stunt ‘worked out’ by fans – and it links to another flashforward

    Who dies in Emmerdale limo lake stunt ‘worked out’ by fans – and it links to another flashforward

    Next week, Emmerdale airs their hugely teased ice stunt, which is expected to leave villagers in grave danger.

    At the start of 2025 viewers were given a glimpse into the future of many different storylines. But we had no idea if all of the flashforwards were linked. Or if they were all completely separate.

    But now fans have ‘worked out’ who dies in the stunt, and it seemingly links three flashforwards together.

    Emmerdale ice stunt

    Next week, the lives of some of our favourite villagers will be put at risk as the soap airs two dangerous limousine crashes.

    How does this happen? Well Liam and Kerry both host boys’ and girls’ nights out. And Caleb and Charity both take the drivers’ seats.

    While Caleb’s anger towards Cain grows, he ends up crashing the boys’ limo. Whereas Charity swerves to avoid hitting something.

    Spoilers for next week indicate one of the limos ends up on a frozen lake. And thanks to an earlier flashforward, we know someone ends up trapped underneath – banging on the ice for help.

    Another flashforward saw Caleb flat-lining in hospital, while a different one showed Cain crying at a fresh grave. But how did we get there?

    Well, a new fan theory has linked it all together, working out which villager is likely to die in the huge Emmerdale ice stunt. And it’s bad news for Liam.

    Could Liam and Chas’ relationship end in tragedy? (Credit: ITV)

    Does Liam die?

    Taking to X, one user wrote: “So we all know the men and women both have a big night out involving two limos. So I’m saying Caleb crashes as he is arguing with Cain about sleeping with Ruby. Then Liam dies in the crash. Cain cries at his grave out of guilt. And it also explains Caleb being on the monitors in hospital. And cue Jacob, the new local doctor.”

    The theory neatly ties together multiple storylines, and opens many different possibilities for future stories.

    If Liam were to die because Cain and Caleb were arguing, then Emmerdale fans will be losing one of their favourite unlikely friendships.

    And of course Cain would feel guilty over it. Despite his bad-boy attitude, the Dingle has formed quite a close connection with Liam over the years.

    And with spoilers indicating a potential engagement for Chas and Liam, could their relationship be hit with tragedy before it even takes off?

    It seems the theory looks entirely possible. But viewers will have to tune in to see exactly what unfolds in the Emmerdale ice stunt.

    Emmerdale news: Chilling limo lake stunt details revealed in new promo

    Emmerdale is set to air two terrifying new promos for the upcoming limo lake stunt which unfolds later this month. The soap has teased the chilling disaster ever since a flashforward revealed a solitary hand fighting for life beneath a sheet of ice last year.

    More details have emerged in the months since. Upcoming spoilers for next week have revealed how 16 lives will be left hanging in the balance when two limousines crash on an icy winter road.

    And, as one of the car plunges into a frozen lake, at least one villager’s life will hang in the balance.

    In the lead up to the event, a new promo video shows a red heart helium balloon floating from The Woolpack to the scene of the accident.

    As the balloon comes to rest on an icy lake, the mysterious hand can be seen again, fighting for life.

    The soap will air a second promo video in the days following. This one will show the two limousines, full of passengers.

    As the cars collide, one limo comes to rest on an icy lake – the ice threatening to give way beneath them. Those within soon find themselves teetering over an icy grave.

    But which of the 16 imperiled characters does the hand belong to? And will they survive?

    Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw revealed the thought process behind the soap’s new promo. “We wanted to create something that would really grab our audience’s attention and hint at the scale of what’s coming,” she said.

    Laura continued: “These promos perfectly capture the tension and suspense of our February storylines.”

    Is Emmerdale on tonight? Soap airs at a different time yet again

    ITV airs yet another schedule change that sees Emmerdale tonight once again moved from its usual 7.30pm slot.

    Viewers will find another football match takes its place this week, once again impacting the schedule.

    Instead, tonight’s episode will air in an earlier slot. So, here’s when you can watch Emmerdale tonight.

    What time is Emmerdale on tonight?

    Emmerdale will air it’s usual 30 minute episode, half an hour earlier tonight, at 7pm.

    It’s been a tough week for viewers as they have been hit with multiple schedule changes to the soap thanks to the continuous coverage of football matches on ITV.

    The shake-up comes during a dramatic week of Emmerdale as April was finally found. We learned the truth about her disappearance, discovering the teen was actually pregnant, and gave birth to a stillborn baby. 

    However, thanks to ITVX, viewers can still watch the episode even earlier if it suits them best. Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale is already available to watch on the streaming platform, as usual.

    What happens in Emmerdale tonight?

    Last night’s episode saw Charity sneak into Home Farm, just about missing Joe and Dawn heading upstairs together. In the end, she stole the closest laptop, which happened to be Kim’s.

    As viewers know, that laptop has countless recordings of Joe. And in tonight’s episode Charity makes a huge discovery. But what was it?

    In other scenes tonight, Leyla opens up about how she has been feeling lately.

    Throughout the week, Leyla has been desperate for anyone to spend time with her, trying to stop herself from feeling lonely. But as everyone has been busy with their own lives, she has been forced to face reality.

    With reports that Roxy Shahidi is leaving the soap, some fans think her exit may line up with the upcoming ice stunt. Especially due to her recent storyline.

    Elsewhere with Marlon and Rhona having learnt the truth about April, viewers can expect the fallout from her disappearance to continue.
