Emmerdale viewers are speculating that April Windsor might be heading for a tear-jerking exit following a prison-related plot twist. The teenager, played by Amelia Flanagan, vanished from the iconic village on Christmas Day after a spat with her father Marlon, portrayed by Mark Charnock. She was last spotted entering an unfamiliar car with an enigmatic driver. In a recent special episode, viewers were given a glimpse into April's harrowing experiences since leaving the Dales, which included sleeping on the streets and witnessing a vicious stabbing and murder.
Adding to the drama, it was shockingly disclosed that April was pregnant when she fled, with her anxiety over the potential family turmoil this could cause. In heart-wrenching scenes, April delivered a stillborn child in a public restroom and was later discovered unconscious on a park bench. Having recuperated in hospital, April is back in the Dales, receiving support from her family who now know of her tragic loss. She told them the baby's father was just a "random" guy from a party last year.
April also opened up to Ross Barton, played by Mike Parr, about the baby, expressing she never wanted it. Despite trying to readjust to village life, April is clearly haunted by her past, and her dad Marlon is doing his utmost to help, reports Leeds Live. Yet, fans fear a cruel twist could be looming, with April potentially facing legal consequences for her actions, leading to imprisonment. Over on an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one eagle-eyed viewer speculated: "I thought the police might have arrested April and charged her for abandoning the stillborn? " This prompted nods of agreement, as another die-hard penned: "If that ends up happening they won't arrest her for a long time. Maybe a few months.".
