Emmerdale legend ‘set to return’ after 14 years to ‘stop April going off rails’

Emmerdale fans are abuzz with rumours that a blast from the past might soon be reappearing in the village as April Windsor’s storyline takes a dramatic turn.

Amelia Flanagan’s portrayal of April has seen her character endure a torrid time on the ITV soap. Last year, her sudden disappearance after clashing with dad Marlon, played by Mark Charnock, sparked an intense search.

The storyline took a heart-rending turn when April was found in a gym toilet after silently suffering a stillbirth. Upon her return to the Dales, April’s confession that she had been pregnant left her family reeling, and when quizzed about the identity of the baby’s father, she called him a “random” from a party.

In the aftermath, April’s attempts to regain some normalcy are clearly fraught with difficulty, while Marlon is wrought with the fear of her bolting again, tiptoeing around her to avoid another departure, Leicestershire Live has reported.

Marlon’s trepidation has translated into a somewhat lax attitude towards April’s recent choices, especially after he and Rhona (Zoe Henry) discover her one-night stand with a youngster from a party, reports Leeds Live.

While Rhona tries to establish rules, Marlon opts for a gentler touch, anxious that pushing too hard could send April packing once more.

Meanwhile, Amelia Flanagan’s Emmerdale character April Dingle has been stirring up trouble with her latest ploy. In a gripping development, she pretended to overdose in an act of rebellion against her father Marlon, capturing the audience’s full attention.

In the Emmerdale episode that aired on Thursday, April 31, dramatic scenes unfolded as April took deception to a whole new level by faking a drug overdose using ketamine she pinched from the vets. Mark Charnock, who plays her dad Marlon, was horrified to find her apparently motionless body, only for it to be revealed as a hoax.

The audacious storyline has sent waves through the Emmerdale audience, triggering wild conjecture about possible plot twists, including the potential return of a known character to sort out April’s antics. In an active Emmerdale fan Facebook group, discussions have heated up.

An agitated viewer posted: “Gosh that April is too much, and Marlon is pathetic, he needs to put some rules down sharpish never mind tip-toeing around the spoilt brat.”

Armchair sleuths in the comment section began piecing together hints, with multiple fans suggesting that April’s Aunt Kelly Windsor, played by Adele Silva, might be set for a dramatic return. One watcher predicted: “She’s going off the rails for sure. Someone needs to sort her out.”

There was further discussion with one comment reading: “Remember Kelly? She would be amazing and could come back and help.”

This opinion gained traction with another contribution simply stating: “Yes!” A different viewer underlined the importance of April having a strong female role model, commenting: “Another strong female is what she needs!”.

Aunt Kelly, last viewed making her memorable exit from the iconic Dales in 2011, had previously decided to start anew, leaving behind the village for London.
