Fans of Emmerdale have heaped praise upon stars Amelia Flanagan and Mark Charnock as missing teenager April finally reunited with dad Marlon this week.
In emotional scenes, Marlon finally came face-to-face with his daughter again after over a month apart. With April recovering in hospital after complications from the stillborn birth of her child, Marlon was desperate to be there for his daughter.

April opens up to Marlon as father and daughter are reunited
April gradually began to open up, telling her dad about her experiences on the streets of Leeds – including the tragic death of friend Becca, and the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy.
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.

Marlon and Rhona were finally reunited with missing April Windsor in Emmerdale tonight. Arriving at the hospital to find her being rushed into surgery, Marlon was shocked to learn that his daughter had been pregnant when she disappeared – and suffered a stillbirth.
Meanwhile, as he continued to manipulate Noah, Joe flirted with Gabby and hooked up with Dawn again.
And, as she continued to struggle with her loneliness, Leyla struck on a bright idea. Elsewhere, Bob learned about April, and guilty parties tried to bottle up their feelings.
Here’s everything that happened on Emmerdale tonight, Wednesday, February 5.

Marlon was reunited with April in Emmerdale tonight
Following the news that April had been found, PC Swirling rushed Rhona and Marlon to the hospital. They learned in no short order that April had been admitted to Obstetrics, having suffered a post-partum hemorrhage – she’d just given birth, and the baby was stillborn.
A doctor filled them in on what had happened, telling them that April had been found on a park bench after giving birth in a local gym. She’d been hemorrhaging for a while and required a blood transfusion.
Marlon and Rhona watched in horror as she was rushed into the operating room for another DNC (dilation and curettage to those not in the know – which doesn’t include Rhona, as she rudely snapped at one of the doctors).
The operation was a success, and April stabilised. Marlon was desperate to see his daughter, but the doctors stressed the importance of giving her time.
Walking into her room to find April recovering in bed, Marlon finally reunited with his daughter. “We don’t have to talk just yet,” he told his daughter, as he refused to stop talking.
Dawn and Joe can’t keep their hands off each other (Credit: ITV)
Dawn grew jealous as Joe flirted with Gabby
At Home Farm, Kim listened in to Joe’s recent Siri searches (the temperature in Dubai, advice on a good peanut butter and jam bagel). She was interrupted by Gabby, who had also been thinking about hunky Joe. As Kim attempted to warn her off, in strolled Dawn and then Sam (the Home Farm drawing room is busier than Euston Station this morning!) who informed her that one of the horses wasn’t feeling too hot.
Meanwhile, taking note that Gabby had eyes for Joe, Dawn took keen interest. Is that a hint of jealousy we detect?
Joe continued to make Dawn jealous by flirting with Gabby throughout the day. As he and Dawn swapped barbs on the stairs, it wasn’t long before the pair ended up in each other’s arms.
Meanwhile, at the Dingles’, it was clear that Gabby was having second thoughts about her man. Settling down for dinner with Vinny, Sam, Lydia and Mandy, the chaotic, farty scene was a far cry from glamourous Home Farm with suave Joe.
Back at Home Farm, Dawn immediately had regrets over cheating on Billy again… before they leaned in for another kiss and headed to bed for round two.

Charity stewed as Noah planned his next move
In The Woolpack, Noah despaired as he continued to lose customers. Joe’s poison pen letters have been having the desired effect, and Noah’s business is suffering.
“People can be vindictive,” said Joe as he consoled his half-brother. Singing the praises of an electrician’s salary in Dubai, Joe continued to lay the seeds for his big plan. Listening in, Charity was alarmed.
She was having none of Noah’s move to Dubai – and her attempt to deter her son only seemed to have the opposite effect.
Later, as Joe and Dawn slunk off to bed together, Charity snuck into Home Farm. But what will she find?
Leyla’s been feeling lonely lately (Credit: ITV)
Leyla’s bright idea
In the shop, Pollard shamed Leyla for buying a frozen lasagna for one. As she lied about her date with Suzy, Pollard began to twig that she’s feeling more lonely than she’s letting on.
At work, Leyla floated the idea of Valentine’s prize draw with Suzy and Belle. Said prize? A luxury limousine ride…
Also on Emmerdale tonight…
John worried for Aaron’s mental well-being as he beat seven shades out of a steak. He tried to encourage him to open up, but stubborn Aaron was having none of it for now. Is Aaron bottling up something terrible?
Meanwhile, Ruby told Caleb that she was headed out for a spot of late-night shopping. He was worried about her well-being, but she too is determined to put on a brave front.
Elsewhere, Mary told Leo that he needed to apologise for his behaviour at school. Sending him off to grab some crisps as Bob arrived, she informed him of April’s situation.

Fans of Emmerdale have branded Rhona Goskirk a ‘hypocrite’ following her behaviour last night – as she slammed Marlon for prioritising missing April over Leo, Ivy and the rest of his family.
In last night’s episode (Monday, February 3), Marlon hit an all-new low in his search for April. Having spent the night out looking for his daughter, he was beaten up and robbed while on the streets of Leeds.
Returning home, he remained laser-focused on April, earning the frustration of Rhona, who felt like she’d been left out in the cold, along with kids Leo and Ivy. This came to a head as Marlon lashed out at her and everyone around him.
He was talked around by Paddy and eventually made amends with Rhona… but some feel like Rhona might be forgetting something.

Emmerdale fans slam ‘hypocrite’ Rhona
As last night’s episode aired, viewers took to X to remind Rhona of her own past. Namely, her obsessive battle for baby Ivy, and the kidnapping saga which followed.
“Marlon’s doing for April the same as Rhona did for IVF [Ivy], ignoring everyone else,” wrote one fan.
“I mean Rhona has got a nerve after how obsessed and stupid she behaved over Ivy. Of course Marlon is going to be obsessed with trying to find April,” another said.
“Funny how Rhona didn’t take the same advice when she was so focused on Ivy,” wrote a third.
“Rhona u hid everything from Marlon about IVF ya hypocrite,” said a fourth.
Gus is baby Ivy’s dad (Credit: ITV)
Rhona’s battle for baby Ivy
Ivy learned that she had a daughter with ex-husband Gus in 2023. After initially trying for IVF together, he secretly used her embryos to have a child with his second wife after he’d split from Rhona. Learning that Gus and Lucy had used her embryos without her consent, Rhona was fuming.
During their confrontation, Lucy went into premature labour and died. Rhona continued visiting baby Ivy in the hospital, forming a bond with the infant.
In the months which followed, a bitter battle ensued between Gus and Rhona. While he initially allowed her to visit the child, his refusal to allow her legal rights over the child led Rhona to spiral – kidnapping Ivy and attempting to flee the country.
Cooler heads eventually prevailed, and she returned home – just as Gus was imprisoned for fraud. Ivy now resides with Rhona and her family – when the writers remember she exits, that is.

A suspicious Caleb Dingle confronted Cain over his alleged affair with Ruby on Emmerdale tonight. Elsewhere, a battered and bruised Marlon hit an all-new low in his search for April. However, a visit from PC Swirling brought some shocking news – April has been found! But in what state is she in?
Elsewhere, manipulative Joe played games with Dawn and Noah, and Cain got to work tidying up his family’s mess.
Here’s everything that happened on Emmerdale tonight, January 3.
Caleb finally confronted his brother (Credit: ITV)
Caleb demanded answers in Emmerdale tonight
A stressed-out Moira struggled with the breakfast routine with the kids until Cain stepped in to help. Enjoy that toast, Cain, it’s the last bit of normalcy you’ll have for a while.
Later, things were frosty between Caleb and Chas – and the mood remained tense when Cain arrived, with a grumpy Chas telling him to focus on Moira. Sensing that something was amiss between the pair, he questioned Caleb later.
Backed into a corner, Caleb told him about the work in the garage – and asked him to play along. As Cain demanded to know what was going on, Caleb finally dropped the question which had been playing on his mind since confronting Anthony: “did you sleep with my wife?”
Cain denied it all, of course. Pushing to know where he’d gotten such a story from, Caleb admitted that it had come from Anthony. It was then that the sorry truth came out. He told Cain that Ruby had killed her father and, after a promise that the pair would always have each other’s back, they hugged it out.
Cain covered Aaron’s tracks
In the pub, a peeved Manpreet confronted Cain over his late-night garage noises. He then stormed over to see Aaron and Chas, tearing them a new one for their carelessness in disposing of the car.
Afterwards, Cain paid a visit to the police station, informing them that he had some information on Anthony’s whereabouts. Whatever he said clearly did the job – with the police closing the investigation after learning that Anthony had been spotted the day after Laurel’s attack.
Ross and Marlon were thick as thieves (Credit: ITV)
Ross tried to get through to Marlon
Rhona and her mum worried about Marlon. He’d been out all night searching for April, and Ross seemed none the wiser. He was clearly covering for Marlon and Leo wasn’t buying it – throwing a shoe at Ross (who throws a shoe?)
The family aren’t coping well, and Mary was starting to worry about the affect Marlon’s quest was having on Rhona and the kids. Where was Marlon amidst all of this? Hiding behind a hedge.
The coast seemingly clear, he returned home – sporting a fresh black eye. Having spotted Marlon skulking home, Ross followed, demanding to know what had happened.
Following a girl he momentarily thought might have been April, Marlon scored a black eye for his trouble. Ross urged Marlon to ease off and take care of his family.
For a moment, it looked like he’d gotten through to Marlon – but succeeded only in getting himself a job as Marlon’s driver.
PC Swirling had some news for Marlon (Credit: ITV)
April has been found!
The family trouble kept coming as Rhona learn that Leo had gotten in trouble at school for fighting with a schoolmate. The next morning, an exhausted-looking Marlon revealed he’d been out all night again – alone.
Rhona and Marlon shared a heart-to-heart as he sat despondently in April’s bedroom. Needless to say, he didn’t take it well when she suggested he step back from the search a little for Leo and Ivy’s sake.
Storming off, he paid a visit to Donna’s grave. After brushing off Charles, Marlon was given food for thought from a concerned Paddy. At the surgery, he apologised to Rhona for his behaviour.
Answers were at hand when PC Swirling arrived at the family home with news on April. She’s been found, but the look on PC Swirling’s face suggests that her story won’t be a happy one.
Joe won Dawn over with stories of his painkiller withdrawal (Credit: ITV)
Joe was playing games
Things were tense between Joe and Dawn. He tried to win her over by bragging about how he was off the painkillers and had just attended his first meeting.
Picking up on the pair’s heavy flirting, Kim warned Joe away from Dawn. Hoping to throw her off the scent, he told her about his painkiller addiction.
Later, he set up a cinema date with Noah. Hanging up on his half-brother, he then logged onto Noah’s trader page and left him a 1-star review for his services as an electrician. “LEFT THE JOB HALF DONE. GOT NASTY WHEN I COMPLAINED. UNSAFE AND AGGRESSIVE. AVOID,” Joe wrote in his finest all-caps.
He was all ears as Noah asked his advice in the Hide. Back at home (farm) his flirting with Dawn continued. Kim wasn’t the only one to pick up on the vibes between the pair – Gabby’s on to them too.
Also on Emmerdale tonight…
Sarah was dressed up to the nines for a date with Jacob. She was left disappointed when he blew her off for his duties at the hospital. Instead, she swung by the hospital to show Jake what he was missing.
Belle swung by to see Leyla and Suzy on Emmerdale – and decided that the time’s right for her to come back to work. Between Suzy’s lunch plans and her son’s new romance, Leyla is clearly feeling lonely.

The village got wind of what Anthony Fox is in Emmerdale tonight and it sent Marlon spiralling. As Laurel continued to make things worse with her wittering, Steph found out her grandad was an abuser – but not the whole truth.
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Friday January 31.
Ruby told Steph some of what Anthony is like, but didn’t reveal everything (Credit: ITV)
A version of the truth about Anthony was revealed to Steph in Emmerdale tonight
Caleb wanted him and Ruby to move on. But then the police turned up to talk about missing Anthony.
The cops told Ruby and Caleb what Laurel had said and asked them if they knew where Anthony was. Ruby stuck to the story that Anthony was a free spirit.
When Steph came home, Ruby filled her in on what had happened between Anthony and Laurel. She also told Steph Anthony was capable of violence and that he had abused her when she was a kid – but she didn’t mention the sexual abuse. Ruby claimed he used to beat her.
Steph did not believe her. She refused to entertain the idea and once again stormed off.
Ruby found Steph on a bridge and told her she wasn’t lying. Steph eventually believed her and the two reconciled. The truth obviously hit Steph hard though – so how much longer before she finds out the whole truth?
She later lashed out at Nicola and Laurel about making up lies and they dropped Chas right in it. Caleb assured Chas it would all be fine, but she is sure the house of cards they’ve built will come crashing down sooner rather than later.
And this is Soapland, so chances are Chas is right.
As this storyline continues to get more and more frustrating someone please just tell Steph the truth, we’d all just be a lot happier then. Well, maybe not Steph, but the viewers at least.
The news about Anthony being an abuser made Marlon incredibly suspicious (Credit: ITV)
Laurel continued to make things worse as Marlon got suspicious
Laurel had been questioned by the police over her confession and released on caution. But she was still wittering on about her guilt. Someone send her on holiday.
She then confided in Bob, which was a mistake because he immediately told the entire Woolpack that there were suspicions Anthony was a paedophile. He thought it might be relevant to April’s disappearance. And so it’s all blown up because Marlon now thinks Anthony has gone missing with April. Nice one, Bob.
Marlon stormed round to see Laurel, he was fuming no one had told him. Laurel insisted they were wrong about Anthony, but Marlon knew something wasn’t right – it’s about time someone realised it, we just never thought it would be Marlon!
Meanwhile, Caleb, Chas, Aaron and John had a secret meeting in the pub back room to make sure they were all covering their tracks. And then Marlon stormed in wanting answers. Caleb tried to talk him down, but Marlon still didn’t believe him. Although he agreed to trust him, Marlon isn’t going to let this go.

Marlon offers a big reward in Emmerdale spoilers tonight

He realises tonight that his endless searching isn’t working so now he changes tactics and decides to offer a big reward for finding April.
Rhona and Mary both worry that this sum is too much and will leave the family in a difficult financial situation. But, fair enough, Marlon will do anything he can to find his daughter – even if that means losing a couple of grand. You can’t put a price on family…
Caleb vows to protect Ruby (Credit: ITV)
Caleb’s careful
Last night (Thursday, January 30), it was revealed that Ruby actually killed Anthony and not Aaron in a huge twist.
Caleb had known about this all along and had helped Ruby keep her secret. But now, Aaron, John AND Chas all know what really happened.
They’re teaming up together to get their stories straight, but Aaron looks to be struggling with all of this. He might’ve not killed Anthony, but he DID attack him until he was barely breathing so he should at least accept some responsibility…
Tonight, Caleb acts carefully so that no suspicions will arise from any of the other villagers. But, will anybody rumble him?
Eric’s happy news
After Kerry stopped him from burning down the shop yesterday evening, Eric receives some good news tonight.
But, could this good news help get him out of the financial mess he’s in?

Fans of Emmerdale have become convinced that an increasingly poorly-looking Marlon Dingle will die from pneumonia. This comes as he fell ill during his frantic search for daughter April, developing a nasty cough.
In a week of ups and downs for Marlon, he learned that April is alive – and living rough on the streets of Leeds. He took off in hot pursuit, finding Ross there too. The pair made amends, but April remains elusive, her whereabouts unknown.
Marlon may not have found April, but he did pick something up from on the streets – a nasty bug.

Marlon taken ill amid April search
As he swapped notes with Bob and Laurel in The Woolpack last night (Wednesday, January 15), an unwell-looking Marlon began to exhibit a nasty cough. As he coughed and spluttered all over the pub (seriously, cover your mouth) fans are convinced that he might have pneumonia.
This is particularly worrying, given the flash-forward the soap shared several weeks ago – one of which showed Cain Dingle weeping over a mystery grave.
Not that we’re convinced Cain would be particularly bothered at the prospect of Marlon going six feet under, but could it possibly be pneumonia-stricken Marlon in the ground?
Who’s in the grave? (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale fans convinced Marlon will die of pneumonia
Writing on X as these scenes aired, viewers shared their theories as to what’s up with Marlon. And the popular diagnosis was that of pneumonia for Marlon.
“Could it be Marlon in the grave? He could end up with pneumonia and end up dying from it. Just a theory,” predicted one fan, invoking one of the five flash-forwards.
“Marlon will end up with Pneumonia,” said another.
“All the shouting has given Marlon a bad cough now, pneumonia storyline coming soon for Marlon,” wrote a third.
“Was Marl’s pneumonia brought on by over-acting???” another joked, somewhat uncharitably.

Eli Dingle has just arrived in the village in Classic Emmerdale, much to his brother Marlon’s horror.
It’s already clear that Marlon isn’t fond of his brother, while Zak has given Eli an ultimatum – he needs to keep out of trouble, or he’ll be sent packing!
It seems Sam’s the only member of the family who’s pleased to see his cousin.
But as Eli ended up sticking around in Emmerdale for four years, he definitely won over his family in the end.
Here’s the lowdown on everything the troublemaking Dingle – the one-time bareknuckle fighting champion of Skipdale – got up to during his years in Emmerdale.
Eli Dingle arrived in the village in 2006 (Credit: ITV)
Eli’s arrival
Eli sauntered into the village on the day of the King’s River show home opening. He immediately pointed out the flaws in the house, claiming there were cracks in the plaster and said he knew what he was talking to thanks to training as a builder when he was in prison.
But Marlon thought Eli was jealous and he ignored his advice.
When Alice Dingle wanted to end her life, due to her terminal cancer, Marlon begged Eli to help.
He emotionally blackmailed his brother into getting hold of morphine for Alice. But after Alice died, Zak was horrified to find out Eli had given her the drugs. He disowned poor Eli, who had to leave Wishing Well Cottage.
When Sam came across his cousin, he was living rough in the woods on the run from some vicious drug dealers. The dealers attacked Marlon in an attempt to track Eli down. Eventually Eli came up with a plan to frame them for an armed robbery at the post office. The plan worked and Eli was welcomed back into the Dingle family.
Trouble making!
Eli was wrongly arrested for Tom King’s murder, and he had a flirtation with Kelly Windsor. When Jimmy jilted Kelly at the altar, Eli nicked Debbie’s car for her to use to escape the village.
He and Debbie started an on/off relationship and he helped her with some of her money-making schemes, including pretending to be Scott Windsor to help her get a loan for the garage.

Shooting Marlon!
Marlon was disappointed when a local bookmaker wouldn’t pay out and decided to rob it in revenge. He convinced Eli to join him. But when Marlon discovered Eli had brought a gun, he wanted to pull out. He tried to stop Eli and got accidentally shot in the chest!
Luckily, Marlon recovered but he was furious with Eli. And the brothers’ relationship completely fell apart when Marlon was hailed a hero and given enough money to buy a house for him and Donna.
Eli was jealous and started blackmailing his brother, threatening to tell everyone the robbery was his idea.
The pair ended up in a scuffle on top of a multi-storey carpark!

Eli had links to a local crime family, the McFarlanes, through his ex-girlfriend Danielle. She helped the Dingles rescue Aaron from the family after he began working as a drugs courier for them.
And Eli was also involved when Jasmine Thomas killed bent cop Shane Doyle – another person working for the McFarlanes – when he tried to rape her.
Eli helped cover up the crime, but things got complicated when Ross Kirk – who was having an affair with Donna – was blamed for the murder (by Marlon!).
Lots of complications later, and Eli spilled the beans to the police, telling them what really happened, leaving Debbie arrested while Jasmine escaped. Jasmine eventually returned and confessed, leading to Debbie being released.
Eli, though, was struggling and ended up back on the streets. Laurel found him and brought him back to the village. Eli thought he brought trouble to his family, but he was welcomed home. He tried to keep things on the straight and narrow, making friends and getting a job at the sweet factory.
Eli and Olena in Emmerdale
But when Eli fell for Olena Petrovich, things got tricky again. Sam Dingle also had feelings for her though it was Eli she loved. When Sam reported Olena to immigration, Eli somehow got the blame.
He went on a downward spiral and ended up stealing the cash box from the B&B and knocking Eric Pollard unconscious.
Eli decided to leave but he and Marlon had an emotional discussion before he went, chatting about their childhood.
Eli’s not been back in the village since 2010. But he was a popular character and many fans have said they’d love to see him back!
