While fans have recently seen the departure of Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter) and the shock comeback of Tina Dingle (Samantha Power), the village is set to say goodbye to more faces in the coming weeks. Here’s the lowdown on who is returning, leaving and arriving in Emmerdale….

April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) has been missing since Christmas Day, and her family have been in pieces ever since. As the village rallied round to try and track down the missing teen, viewers saw April get into a mysterious car before being driven away.

With everyone determined to bring April home, we’re hoping that she will make a safe return to the Dales – though nothing has been confirmed as of yet. When is April Windsor returning to Emmerdale? Currently unknown (when or if!). Leyla Harding is set to meet a dramatic end fitting for the long-standing character, after actress Roxy Shahidi decided to bid farewell to the Dales.

Leyla has been a fixture in the village since 2008, but reports suggest she will be killed off in a bombshell storyline. Roxy is said to be thrilled to have such a powerful exit, with a soap source telling The Sun: ‘She’s really excited about her meaty exit storyline, which will see her character Leyla die on screen. She’d rather go out in a blaze of glory and be remembered.’.
