April Feels Betrayed By Marlon | Emmerdale

Marlon is worried about talking to April, fearing he might say the wrong thing and push her further away. However, it’s clear they need to communicate better—something they failed to do before, leading to April’s struggles. They need to set boundaries while also supporting her as a teenager who still needs her father’s guidance.

April unexpectedly returns home to grab her homework, and Marlon suggests she stay for lunch. She refuses to apologize for what happened, bluntly stating that everyone already knows she isn’t a virgin. Marlon and the others try to have an open conversation, not to judge, but out of concern for her well-being. They ask if she plans to see the boy again, and April insists she can handle herself. However, Marlon reminds her that staying safe is about more than just avoiding pregnancy. Annoyed, April snaps back, accusing them of hypocrisy based on their past mistakes. The conversation escalates, and April storms off.

Later, Marlon tries to get through to her. April confesses that she’s struggling with Dylan’s absence—he was like a brother to her, and she misses him. She admits that being with Kai was a way to fill that void. Marlon reassures her that Dylan is in rehab getting help, but April is heartbroken, feeling abandoned.

Then, a shocking truth comes out—Dylan didn’t steal the drugs; she did. Marlon is stunned, realizing she framed Dylan while he was trying to get clean. His relapse, hospitalization, and near-death experience were all consequences of her mistake. April is furious upon learning that Marlon paid for Dylan’s rehab out of guilt and that Dylan distanced himself to protect her. She feels utterly betrayed when Marlon reveals he read a letter from Dylan before giving it to her. Feeling let down, she lashes out and leaves, leaving Marlon devastated over how badly he’s handled things.
