April Windsor disappeared from her home on Christmas Day in Emmerdale and a new fan theory has suggested Anthony Fox could be responsible.
It has been a difficult time for April of late, after discovering the truth about how her mother Donna Windsor died. Her behaviour has worsened and she has been bunking off school and drinking alcohol.
Her dad Marlon has struggled to cope and prior to his daughter going missing, he snapped at her, telling her he wished she’d just fade into the background.
So has April simply run away, or is there something more sinister going on?
April goes missing
On Christmas Day morning, Marlon Dingle went to wake his young daughter only to discover that she wasn’t there. April was later seen waiting for a mystery person before climbing into the back of a car.
It’s been a difficult few weeks for the teenager. At the start of the month, she was kidnapped by Ross Barton‘s enemy Jade. After rescuing April, Ross then told her the devastating truth about Donna’s d.e.a.t.h.
April’s dad Marlon was furious at Ross for sharing this information, and in return April was furious with Marlon for keeping it from her.
Emmerdale has confirmed that the story will run weeks, with show producer Laura Shaw saying: “In the coming weeks, as the search for April intensifies, we explore the emotional turmoil a family faces when a young person goes missing. We are so grateful to the charity Missing People for their invaluable help and support with this storyline.”
But is April missing out of choice or has someone taken her?
Fans suspicious of Anthony Fox
It was recently revealed via a special flashback episode that Anthony s.e.x.u.a.l.l.y abused his daughter Ruby when she was a teenager.
With this in mind, a new theory has predicted that Anthony is to blame for teen April’s disappearance.
“Ruby’s dad the creepiest person, was that his car picking up April?” asked one viewer on X. “Anthony has got April! #Emmerdale,” another fan agreed.
Over on Facebook, a third fan said: “I’m wondering if April accepted a lift from a stranger or did she know the person, I thought it looked like Ruby’s dad from behind.”
A fourth fan agreed, writing: “Yeah it deffo looked like Ruby dad…”, while a fifth said: “Oh I do hope it wasn’t Ruby’s dad for obvious reasons.”
“Why do I have a feeling Ruby’s dad is involved in April disappearance”, said another viewer.
