Amelia Flanagan’s ‘fabulous’ performance as April amid hostage showdown praised by fans
It was an exciting night for April
Fans of Emmerdale have praised actor Amelia Flanagan for her performance as April in last night’s episode. This came as Jade kidnapped the teenager, determined to get her money back from Ross (who, it turned out, never even had it).
Having her thugs dangle April from the roof of a high-rise cark park, Jade soon proved that she wasn’t to be messed with. Rushing to the rescue, Ross managed to avert disaster – although this was more thanks to the arrival of Aaron and Mack, with Jade’s money.
April learns the truth about her mother’s death
Back at home, April was in surprisingly good spirits, considering she’d just been kidnapped and dangled over the side of a building. However, there was worse to come as she learned about the tragic circumstances behind mum Donna’s death.
Understandably, April was shaken to learn that her mother had taken her own life at that very same car park.
And, amid the revelations, fans found themselves impressed by the young actress’s performance.
