It’s another dramatic week in Emmerdale ahead, as confirmed in my new spoiler pictures, with two relationships under strain amid April Windsor’s (Amelia Flanagan) disappearance.
Following her Christmas Day vanishing, dad Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) continues on his search effort to bring the teen home, disregarding the fact his behaviour is potentially ruining his marriage to Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry).
But is someone else to blame for his anguish? Mary (Louise Jameson) seems to think so, and decides to confront Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) in the pub.
Boosted by the villagers’ mammoth campaign for April, he decides to record a video appeal. The message goes viral – and soon his family try and protect him from the horrific trolling that soon ensues.
Elsewhere, overwhelmed after his first day on the job at Hotten’s emergency department, Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) takes some time to get to know his new colleagues for a drink.
Prospective new girlfriend Sarah Dingle (Katie Hill) joins him, but they soon begin to target her when its realised that she was the drunk patient in A&E at New Year.
She rushes out in horror, leaving him guilt-ridden.
The two have a serious heart to heart, and seem to be back on track – even spending the evening together.
Do the young couple have a future, or is this relationship doomed from the start?
Elsewhere, Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) is rattled by the coroner’s report, which reveals dad Will died of natural causes.
Convinced that Kim Tate (Claire King) is to blame for his d.e.a.t.h, she does some digging and discovers a video message from her late father on a USB stick.
All hell breaks loose on the day of his funeral, when she pushes Kim into his coffin and then the police show up at the graveside.
Just another calm, blissful week in the dales!
