Emmerdale: ‘work out’ secret connection between Dylan and April Windsor in DNA twist
Emmerdale viewers are convinced they know the identity of Dylan's parents
Emmerdale fans are convinced they know who newcomer Dylan’s real parents are as the teenager arrives in the village, and they are two icons.
Earlier this year, homeless teen Dylan, played by Fred Kettle, was introduced as April Windsor’s (Amelia Flanagan) new friend after the pair connected when she ran away from home.
On Christmas Day, April abruptly left the village following an argument with her dad, Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock). After weeks of worrying about April’s welfare, it was revealed she was alive and living rough in Leeds.
During a flashback episode, April confessed to new pals Dylan and Becca (Becca Ashton) that she was pregnant with the pair taking her under their wing, although they did urge her to return home.
While out on the streets and begging for money, Becca was stabbed and later d.i.e.d from her injuries.
April was devastated by Becca’s d.e.a.t.h as Dylan promised to look after her but appeared to be taking part in sex work to earn money. Dylan also told April that both of his parents had d.i.e.d.
More tragedy struck when April gave birth to a stillborn baby in a public toilet and was rushed to the hospital, where she reunited with Marlon and later returned home.
Since returning to the Dales, April contacted Dylan as she struggles to adjust to her normal life following her recent ordeal.
During Tuesday’s episode (March 4), Dylan made a surprise visit to the Dales, visiting April at her home after she reached out. Initially reluctant, Marlon gave the green light for Dylan to stay over for one night and offered to get him the support he needed.
But next week, Dylan’s life will hang in the balance after a drug overdose. Emmerdale fans are convinced Dylan is the son of Carly Hope (Gemma Atkinson) and her ex-boyfriend Marlon, making him April’s half-brother.
Carly is also the step-sister of Donna Windsor (Verity Rushworth), April’s mum.
One fan took to Facebook and wrote, “OK, could Dylan be April’s brother?!!! Didn’t Carly Hope leave pregnant?”
A second added: “That’s what I was thinking”, while a third chimed in: “I did read that one of Bob’s grandchildren was coming back x.”
“Bet he’s Marlon’s son and Carly is his mum,” predicted another viewer.
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV and ITVX
