In a special episode of Emmerdale which will air next week, April struggles in the aftermath of her attack on Callum – can Marlon help?

Tonight’s episode (Thursday, October 30), saw April defend herself against one of Ray and Celia’s clients.

After attacking him with a glass bottle, April struggles… But, can anyone protect her from the criminal mother and son?

April smashed a bottle over Callum’s head

Following Dylan’s betrayal, Celia told Ray: “A dead fox never comes back.” However, when questioned by April, neither Ray nor Celia would reveal what had happened to Dylan.

Both Ray and Celia warned April that there would be really bad consequences if she didn’t carry out the job.

Wearing a dress, April arrived at the location to meet client Callum. He asked how old she was, before giving her a drink. She was suspicious, so he took a sip to show her it wasn’t drugged. He started coughing and she thought he was in danger, but Callum was just winding April up. 

April hoped that they could just get everything over and done with as soon as possible but Callum warned her, if she didn’t give him the time he’d paid for, he’d be asking for his money back.

April attempted to get drunk before being stopped by Callum, who said he didn’t want her to be wasted. He then menacingly said: “What as I going to do with you, April?” 

But, unable to hide her discomfort, April then vocalised her decision to leave and suffer the consequences. Callum wouldn’t accept this and told her that she had no choice – he was going to sleep with her no matter how she felt.

Callum told April the door was locked and would be staying locked all night. April suddenly kneed him then smashed him over the head with a vodka bottle. April looked shocked as she stared down at an unconscious Callum.

April gets ready to confess all

In a special April-centred episode to air next week, April will consider being honest with dad Marlon over what’s been going on recently.

April has been used to pushing Marlon away, but she’s started to grow close to her family again in recent scenes.

Spoilers for the week reveal Marlon tries once again to reach out to April. April and Marlon then sit down on the sofa as a serious conversation sparks up.

Marlon tries to understand what has caused April such anguish over the recent months. April is clearly desperate to unburden, but will she? Will she tell Marlon about her involvement with Ray and Celia? Will he understand just how deep things go?

Speaking about the emotional two-hander episode, a Dales spokesperson has shared: “With April at the mercy of the merciless drug dealers, we hope that her ever present and worried father Marlon can get through to her. This special episode will explore this fragile and possibly broken relationship between a father and his daughter as she slips further from his grasp.”
