Emmerdale watchers are abuzz with speculation that Tom King, portrayed by James Chase, could be the dad of April Windsor's (played by Amelia Flanagan) child. The soap delivered heart-wrenching scenes last week when April unexpectedly went into labour in a gym toilet, only to be devastated by the stillbirth of her baby. After an urgent trip to the hospital, April returned home, later learning she had lost a daughter. A poignant farewell followed as she and her father, Marlon Dingle (actor Mark Charnock), mourned their loss.
But it's plain to see young April is battling her grief, distancing herself from her dad and Rhona Goskirk (played by Zoe Henry ). With her pain evident, could she choose to flee once more?. Theories have flooded online ever since Emmerdale revealed April's pregnancy, with fans eager to identity the mysterious father, reports Leeds Live. While April has claimed the dad was a "random" lad from a party, whose name she can't recall, viewers suspect there's more to the story.
New rumours point squarely at Tom King, who made a surprising comeback this week. A Facebook fan page saw one viewer speculate: "Guess who is back. As I said before, I think Tom was the father of April's baby and Tom will contest the divorce, then it will all come out and Bell will be able to divorce him because of it.". Another person chimed in: "I think he's back and it's something to do with April, let's face it, he is an abuser.".
Speculation is rife among fans, with one suggesting: "I also think he got April pregnant," Another viewer shared their hunch: "Could Tom be the father of April's baby? Not sure why, but I just have a hunch.". Other potential fathers being considered by fans include Ross Barton and Noah Dingle. In the latest episode, available on ITVX, Belle Dingle visits Tom in prison, leading to a heated exchange as she demands a divorce.
Tom, however, remains delusional about their relationship, believing they can work through their issues. Belle firmly disagrees, telling him: "I am going because you know what? The hard work has already been done.". Gesturing to her head and heart, she adds: "In here and in here because you have been gone for a very long time and this divorce is the cherry on top and I am having it.". Emmerdale airs weekdays ar 7.30pm on ITV.
