Is Arthur the dad of April’s baby in Emmerdale? Fans sure they’ve spotted ‘hint’ despite him being gay
April and Arthur have had a long friendship
The mystery in Emmerdale of who the dad of April’s baby doesn’t seem to be a huge concern on the show. April gave her explanations and then it was dropped.
But viewers can’t help but wonder if what she said was lies, and that she did know who the dad of the baby was.
Initially there were a lot of theories, where fans believed she was covering for someone because she was scared of Marlon’s reaction. But now, some fans think the baby daddy may be closer to home..
What has April said about her baby’s dad?
When April was found after almost six-weeks of living on the streets, everyone wanted to know who got her pregnant.
Marlon, Rhona and Ross were all ready to track him down. Although, to do that they needed April to give them a name.
However, it seems that even April didn’t fully know the answer to that. As she explained that she was drunk at a party and slept with a random guy that was there.
She was scared of how it looked to everyone, but not long after it, it was never mentioned again.
But in Emmerdale this week Laurel commented on how April hasn’t been to see Arthur yet, leading some fans to wonder if this was a hint.
Is Arthur the dad of April’s baby in Emmerdale?
Laurel headed over to April and told her that Arthur would love to see her, and April said she would “maybe” come over for dinner some time. But the hesitation on her face was clear.
Fans took to reddit to discuss the possibility that April and Arthur may have slept together, and now she doesn’t want to face him.
One wrote: “Am I the only one who finds it odd that April has been back a month and lives about five doors away from Arthur, but she hasn’t responded to him. And she hasn’t seen him at all in that time? I think in a weird twist he might be the baby’s father.”
However, one huge issue with the theory is that Arthur is gay, and had his own coming out storyline. So if this came true, it would kind of ruin his own character arc – which others point out.
A viewer commented: “I don’t want that. I am sick of the whole ‘gay guy sleeps with a woman in a moment of madness and gets her pregnant’ storyline. It’s not realistic.”
Others have called for Arthur to begin a romance with April’s friend, Dylan.
Another added: “This would be infuriating. I would much rather Arthur hook up with Dylan instead. That could be a potentially good storyline for him.”
