Emmerdale: ‘work out’ who really picked up April Windsor – and it wasn’t a taxi driver
Emmerdale fans are certain they have ‘rumbled’ who April Windsor was picked up by before she went missing
Emmerdale fans are convinced they know who picked up April Windsor before she went missing – and it was a former Dales icon.
Teenager April (Amelia Flanagan) went missing from the famous village back on Christmas Day, following a row with her dad Marlon (Mark Charnock). She was last seen getting in a strange car driven by a mysterious individual.
And this week, the soap aired a special episode that focused on everything she had been through since fleeing the Dales. After getting picked up in a car by an unseen person, she ended up in Leeds city centre.
Soon enough, she managed to befriend a group of homeless people including Dylan (Fred Kettle) and Becca (Becca Ashton) – who took April under their wing and let her stop with them in a derelict building.
Throughout the episode, viewers got to see what April – who turned out to be pregnant – endured while sleeping rough – including witnessing the stabbing of Becca who chased after a thief who took their money.
And unfortunately, the house that Dylan and April were sleeping in was eventually raided by police. Dylan then got arrested, while April managed to make an escape – but in a harrowing twist, she gave birth to a stillborn baby later on in a public toilet, and was eventually found by dad Marlon.
However, while many questions have been answered about April’s disappearance, viewers are still stumped over who it was that picked up April when she first fled the Dales.
But now, other fans have ‘worked out’ who it was – and it’s a former village resident. Writing on an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one person wrote: “Who was driving the car that picked April up then?
Sharing their thoughts, a second fan penned: “It could have been Scott her uncle.” A third chimed in: “Yeah what if the guy who picked up April was Scott?” Another agreed: “I think it’s Scott as well, she might not have remembered him or what he looks like and getting in his car was by total chance.” Someone else wrote: “Well the driver DID ask her where she wanted dropping so it could have been a taxi but we have been duped before so who knows!”
Scott Windsor (Ben Freeman) is the brother of April’s late mother, Donna Windsor (Verity Rushworth), so this makes him April’s uncle. Scott was last seen on the soap in 2007 – but has been mentioned several times.
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
