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.

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.

In Emmerdale tonight, Marlon Dingle followed April back to the squat she stayed in when she was homeless and came face-to-face with Dylan.
Elsewhere, Dawn developed a guilty conscience after her and Joe were almost caught by Billy.
Here is the full rundown of what happened in Emmerdale tonight (Monday, March 3).

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: April went to visit Dylan
April Windsor was annoyed to discover her dad had slept on the sofa in order to keep guard incase she ran away again. She encouraged Marlon to trust her and informed him she was going to school.
However, he didn’t take her advice and instead decided to follow her.
Arriving at the derelict squat where she’d stayed in with Dylan during her time on the streets, April found her friend Dylan and told him about her baby dying.
Marlon soon interrupted the moment, and jumping to the wrong conclusion, he threw an already hurt Dylan against the wall.
April explained that she had met Dylan on the streets, telling her dad: “Him and Becca are the only reason I survived on the streets, the only people who cared.”
April went on to tell Marlon that her life didn’t stop when she was homeless. “Things happened. I made friends, and I saw things. I can’t just forget it all. It’s gonna be part of my life forever.”
Seeing Marlon’s despair, Dylan told April she should go home with her dad as he’ll keep her safe. Dylan pretended he was fine, despite clearly being in pain.Â
April took Dylan’s advice, but later told her dad to stop lying, stop following her and just let her be. Will he be able to trust her?Â
Joe’s mystery doctor made another appearance (Credit: ITV)
The Joe mystery continued
Joe’s mysterious doctor made another appearance as he told Joe to be careful with Dawn as his body can’t take too much overexertion.
The doctor told Joe to focus on his health as ‘women are a distraction’ and added: “This trip for your treatment couldn’t come soon enough.”
He quickly left when he heard footsteps. Joe later shared that he was off to Dubai for at least two weeks for business, but what is he really going there for, and will he die?
Dawn started to feel guilty over her affair with Joe (Credit: ITV)
Dawn developed a guilty conscience
As has been the case so far, Dawn continued making the moves on Joe. Thinking they had the house to themselves the pair started kissing passionately.
But they were soon shaken when they heard her husband Billy arrive home. Joe managed to deter Billy with the actual truth – telling him to scarper as he had a girl over. Billy joked: “Tell her she can do so much better,” obviously not realising he was talking about his actual wife.
Dawn immediately felt guilty, and later when talking to Kim, she admitted that she was scared about Billy finding out as it would break his heart.
In a spit your tea out moment, Dawn said she didn’t think her marriage would survive son Evan being so ill, ‘but we’re making it work.’ Kim immediately said what we all thought: “How is having an affair making it work?”
Dawn explained that it helps her cope. Yes, we’re sure the therapist would recommend an affair as a coping mechanism too…
Later, Dawn and Billy shared a moment in the kitchen while she was cooking dinner, so perhaps she really does want her marriage to work.
Jacob was angry at his family for missing Leyla’s funeral (Credit: ITV)
What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Jacob got angry at David and Alicia
As is the case, with every soap wedding or funeral, there is always the question of whether family members will return for the occasion.
For Leyla’s funeral, that will be a firm no. Jacob was shown on the phone to David, before he told Sarah: “Alicia’s blaming her broken leg, and dad’s using Theo’s illness as an excuse.”
Jacob was angry as he explained he felt like he was the only one who cared about his mum, if his dad and Leyla’s own sister couldn’t even be bothered to turn up and say goodbye.
Later, Sarah accompanied Jacob to the house as he explained he hadn’t managed to go back since his mum’s death. While there, he got emotional once again and said: “My dad can’t bear to be around me. Mum’s gone.” He then started frantically grabbing various items before crying in Sarah’s arms.
Elsewhere in Emmerdale tonight
Things looked to be over for Moira and Cain as she struggled to forgive him for his fling with Ruby.
After Cain took Moira to her hospital appointment when she was let down by Mack, Moira informed him that nothing would change as she couldn’t get over him letting her down when she needed him the most.
Moira soon asked Cain to move out of their house. When they returned home Cain asked Moira to ask him to stay, but she couldn’t and instead took to her bed and burst into tears. Is this really the end for the couple?

After Lydia took her spying skills seriously and spotted Joe and Dawn together, Kim has enough dirt on him.
Obviously the affair isn’t the only secret he is keeping, but it’s enough to make Kim know he couldn’t be trusted.
So when Joe informs Dawn that he has to leave, she gets extremely concerned that Kim knows about the affair.
Will Kim tell Billy? And is there going to be a fracture in Kim and Dawn’s relationship yet again?
2. April sneaks out
Marlon wakes up in the middle of the night and sneaks down to the kitchen to see April. And when she realises he is checking up on her, she gets angry at him for there still being a lack of trust.
As he struggles to decide what he should do next in order to mend their relationship, April sneaks out of the house.
Missing her friends, she heads back to the derelict squat, where she has an emotional reunion with Dylan.

3. Marlon lashes out
When he realises where April has gone, Marlon rushes in and jumps to conclusions when he spots April and Dylan together. This only makes the situation worse as April explains Marlon will never understand what she went through.
However, Marlon’s attitude changes slightly when Dylan tries to encourage April to go back home with her dad. And when he agrees to give her more space, April seems to soften with him.
Is this the beginning of their relationship getting back on track? And will we see Dylan again?
4. Moira makes a heartbreaking decision
Cain has been trying to put his marriage right with Moira ever since she found out he cheated on her with Ruby.
Not only has she turned on him, but so has Kyle, and the rest of the villagers. And while fans have been hoping they may be able to mend their relationship, things take a heartbreaking turn tonight.
Moira decides that their marriage is over, and informs Cain that he should move out of the farm. And it’s safe to say he is broken by the news.

Emmerdale star Mark Charnock, who has been playing Marlon Dingle since 1996 actually has a surprising hobby that he would love to take further.
This year marks 29 years since Marlon Dingle showed up on our screens. Over the years he has been involved in huge storylines. In recent times, Marlon suffered a stroke and has been dealing with the recovery. And he is currently very involved as his daughter, April, went missing for six weeks.
But acting isn’t the only thing that Emmerdale star Mark Charnock could see himself doing. As away from the soap, he likes to think of himself as an aspiring writer.

Emmerdale Mark Charnock’s passion for writing
Mark has expressed that he would love to be ‘acknowledged’ as an author one day, alongside acting. But in order to do that, he would have to release some novels. Which he has written.
A few years ago, Mark opened up to The Guardian in a sit down interview about his time on Emmerdale. The 56-year-old took the opportunity to reveal his desire for penmanship, but admitted he never truly believed anyone would want to read his words.
He said: “I want to be a writer. All my closest friends are writers. I would like to be acknowledged. I have got hundreds and thousands of words – novels and short stories.”
Despite having the words written, he is yet to release anything. And he admitted he thinks someone will have to find them when he dies. But in his mind they will just ‘burn them.’
Mark continued: “By the time I pop my clogs, there is going to be this vast JD Salinger-esque locker of unpublished stories. Somebody will read them and go ‘Oh, let’s just burn them’.”

What else does Emmerdale star Mark Charnock do in his spare time?
Mark enjoys sharing the sunrises in Yorkshire with his fans. And along with this he also showcases his growing crops and flowers on his Instagram.
However, away from that, Mark has admitted he would love to continue working on Emmerdale. But he never lets himself get carried away, despite being there for almost 30 years.
He explained: “I’m really strict with myself. I never think beyond the contract. The amount of people who come on this show and think they are secure, only to get written out in a threshing accident. If you start taking it all for granted, then you are finished.”

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.

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 viewers have lashed out at April Windsor following this week’s scenes on the soap. Last night’s episode (Monday, February 10) saw April and Marlon say goodbye to her stillborn daughter in the hospital.
April gave birth to the infant in upsetting scenes last week, in which it was revealed that she’d fallen pregnant prior to running away from home on Christmas Day. Giving birth to a stillborn child in the toilets of a gym, April was rushed to the hospital – where she reunited with her dad.

April and Marlon said goodbye in Emmerdale last night
Last night, as they bid the baby goodbye, April grew upset and stormed out. She then snapped at her father – claiming she felt nothing for the child. This earned April the ire of many viewers, who slammed her ‘bratty’ behaviour and suggested that Marlon should put his foot down.
But is it really so simple? Between teenage pregnancy, the gruesome death of a friend, suffering a stillbirth and her subsequent hospitalisation (not to mention the bombshell that her mum killed herself!) April has been through a lot.

Emmerdale fans defend April amid backlash
As last night’s scenes aired, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on April’s behaviour towards her dad. And many felt that she should stop giving Marlon such a hard time.
“Treading on eggshells around April isn’t really working. Put your foot down with a firm hand, Marlon,” wrote one fan.
“April is such an ungrateful brat,” said another.
“Tell April if she wants to be gone so bad, then let her go!. You can’t do right for wrong with her omg,” commented a third.
However, others issued a reminder that April has been through a lot.
“I’m kind of surprised at the lack of sympathy towards the traumatised child,” wrote one viewer on a Reddit thread.
“I believe all that’s happened to her recently…especially the pregnancy, birth and the loss of her baby…is affecting her current state of mind. Understandably so,” said another.
