ITV Emmerdale tonight as villager becomes main suspect behind April’s disappearance

Emmerdale fans think a resident could be behind April’s disappearance as suspicions grow in the dales.

In tonight’s Emmerdale, which can be watched early on ITV X, the search for April continues as Bob gathers residents to search everywhere in the village but Marlon takes a more ‘hands-on’ approach and demanded Ross takes him to find Jade.

After finding her, preparing for a fight, Jade denies taking April but that answer is not good enough for Marlon as he grabs a pole and threatens her to get the answers he wants. However, they are interrupted by police rushing in and arresting Jade for her illegal gambling crimes.

Admitting defeat, Marlon and Ross head back to the village where they are met by an angry Rhona and Paddy along with Rhona’s mum asking where they had been. As the search party members take a hot chocolate and coffee break, Ruby asks Steph if she knew what Anthony was doing on Christmas Day – something he overhears in the café.

Later, Anthony addresses what he overheard and threatens Ruby about defending himself – which a certain rumour could be released concerning her. Elsewhere, Billy has become a detective to find out more about Joe Tate and rushes back to tell Dawn that Will’s death is not as it seems. He also tells her that Kim once tried to kill Joe, so it seems odd that they are being nice to each other.

Fans took to X quickly to discuss the episode. @gem_louise23 said: “Has Ruby’s creepy father taken April?” Other fans do not think the search was taken seriously enough. @ScullyScully73 adds: “The search for April and the village turn up heels and handbags to search”
