Ross knows where April is… and is secretly looking after her

April in Emmerdale has been missing for over three weeks now, and while there has been no luck in finding her, a new fan theory predicts someone close to the search might.

Before she went missing, Marlon had forced Ross to tell April that he didn’t want anything to do with her. This obviously left April reeling. But when she found out her dad was behind it – she had had enough and ran away.

She hasn’t been seen since Christmas, when we saw her get into a car willingly. But we still have no idea who was driving. And after recent episodes saw Marlon and Ross team up, fans think Ross may know more than he is letting on.

Could Ross have April in Emmerdale?

Ross was one of the only people April trusted. And Marlon hated that. But their feud was put to the side earlier this week, when the despairing dad realised Ross was one of the only other people who would continuously look for April.

After CCTV footage spotted April running away from something (or someone?) in Leeds, this is where Marlon decided to focus his search.

But while he was out looking, he bumped into none other than Ross. Who was coincidentally looking in the exact same area.

Then last night (January 16) Marlon was too sick to go searching. So Ross decided he could do both his area, and Marlon’s. A lot of work for one person…

This caused suspicion to arise for Emmerdale fans. And some now wonder if Ross is actually looking after April.

Fans took to social media to share this theory. And it seems a lot share the idea.

Fans share their theories

One wrote: “Could Ross be up to mischief? Actually knowing where she is and looking after April? Seemed too convenient Marlon bumping into him the other day in Leeds?”

Another added: “Does Ross know where April actually is??”

While a third penned: “Was that meeting really just a coincidence?”

As the storyline looks set to continue for a while, fans have already called for a resolution.

And while Ross has a bad boy side, could he really be keeping April’s location a secret?

The question remains, if it’s not Ross behind her disappearance, then where is April?
