Emmerdale return ‘sealed’ for legend after 14 years to ‘stop April Windsor going off rails’
Emmerdale fans are convinced that a former resident of the Dales will return to the village to 'sort out' April Windsor, who is currently on a 'downward spiral'
Emmerdale viewers are speculating that a familiar face from the past might be returning to the village as April Windsor’s life takes a tumultuous turn.
Amelia Flanagan’s character, April, has been through a harrowing time on the ITV soap recently. Last year, she vanished after a row with her father Marlon (played by Mark Charnock), leading to a frantic search.
Her ordeal culminated in a shocking twist when she was found in a gym toilet, having given birth stillborn to her baby girl. Back in the Dales, April’s revelation of her pregnancy stunned her family, and when pressed about the baby’s father, she dismissed him as a “random” from a party.
Despite trying to find stability again, April is visibly struggling, while Marlon lives in dread of her running away once more, causing him to walk on eggshells around her, reports Leicestershire Live.
Marlon’s anxiety has led to leniency towards April’s actions, notably when he and Rhona (Zoe Henry) learned she had a one-night stand with a boy from a party.
While Rhona attempted to lay down the law, Marlon’s approach was softer, fearing that too much pressure could push April away again.
Emmerdale’s April Dingle, played by Amelia Flanagan, has been causing quite the stir in the village with her latest antics. In a recent twist, she faked an overdose to get back at her dad Marlon, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.
In last Thursday’s episode (April 31), April took her scheming to new heights by staging a drug overdose with stolen ketamine from the vets. Her father Marlon, portrayed by Mark Charnock, was left in utter shock when he discovered her seemingly lifeless body, only for April to reveal it was all a ruse.
The storyline has sparked intense speculation among Emmerdale fans, with many predicting the return of a familiar face to set April straight. On a popular Emmerdale Facebook fan group, one viewer expressed frustration: “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.”
The comments section quickly filled with theories, with several fans hinting at the comeback of April’s aunt Kelly Windsor, famously played by Adele Silva. One fan speculated: “She’s going off the rails for sure. Someone needs to sort her out.”
Another added their thoughts, saying: “Remember Kelly? She would be amazing and could come back and help.” The sentiment was echoed by another who simply said: “Yes!” Meanwhile, another fan emphasized the need for a strong female influence: “Another strong female is what she needs!”.
Kelly, who is April’s aunt, was last seen in the well-known Dales back in 2011, when she chose to leave the village and embark on a new life in London.
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
