ITV Emmerdale bombshell as April Windsor learns heartbreaking family secret
Emmerdale's April Windsor was left heartbroken after learning the truth about her mother Donna's d.e.a.t.h, and she has demanded to know why she was kept in the dark
April Windsor, heartbroken and feeling betrayed, has discovered that her family concealed the truth about her mother’s d.e.a.t.h.
Emmerdale fans will remember that April’s mother, Donna, was terminally ill when she tragically ended her life by leaping from a multi-storey car park with notorious criminal Gary North handcuffed to her, ten years ago.
In a shocking twist, Ross, who returned to the ITV soap earlier this year, found out that m.a.l.i.c.i.o.u.s Jade had abducted April and was holding her captive on the roof of the same multi-storey car park where Donna met her end.
Once April was safe, further distress ensued as Ross revealed the truth about her ᴍᴏᴛʜᴇʀ’s ᴅᴇᴍɪsᴇ. As anticipated, the revelation hit April hard, leaving her in tears as she tried to comprehend everything.
In tonight’s (December 6) episode of the popular ITV soap, it’s evident that April is struggling to deal with the sudden news, with her unusual and distracted behaviour raising questions among those around her, reports Leeds Live.

Marlon immediately sensed something was amiss, but April was reluctant to confide in him, believing he was oblivious to the truth.
She chose to confide in Arthur and seek his advice on how to proceed. Recognising that keeping her feelings bottled up was only exacerbating the situation, he advised her to talk to her father before her emotions overwhelmed her.
After a touching moment, April felt the need to share her discovery with Marlon but the encounter took an unexpected turn.

In a stunning revelation, Marlon admitted he was already privy to the secret, one he’d kept tightly under wraps for years.
April was incensed to learn this and confronted Marlon on why she wasn’t informed earlier. A fierce altercation ensued between them.
Marlon protested, unsure of the ideal moment for disclosure, only for April to retort, “the day after my birthday is always known as the day she died, why did you not tell me?”
Marlon found himself at a loss for words, attempting in vain to soothe April’s outrage, but their argument climaxed as she bolted out the door, leaving a distraught Marlon alone on the sofa. Does this foretell further woes for April?
