Emmerdale spoilers: April is haunted by the past
April may be keen to get back to normality, but it’s going to take a long time to come to terms with everything that’s happened to her.
Marlon’s daughter ran away from home on Christmas Day and spent the next few weeks living rough on the streets. The full extent of April’s ordeal was shown during a special flashback episode, which revealed her shock pregnancy.
Viewers watched in horror as April found herself in a series of dangerous situations. The episode ended with April going into premature labour in the toilet cubicle of a local gym. She delivered a baby girl into the world, but tragically the tot didn’t survive.
Marlon and Rhona’s worlds were shattered when they learnt what had happened. April may have been safely returned home to them, but the grieving process has only just begun.
April makes a brave decision
Emotions remain raw after April and Marlon’s visit to the Chapel of Rest to see her daughter’s coffin. The enormity of the occasion proved too traumatic for April, who fled the church in distress. Marlon was left behind to say a heartbreaking farewell to the grandchild he never got to meet.
Afterwards, April made out she wasn’t affected by the ordeal, but her family feared she was masking her pain. April has also refused to disclose her baby daddy’s identity, claiming to Ross was some lad she met at a party.
Rhona has refused to give up on her stepdaughter and reassured April she’s there for her, whenever she’s ready to open up.
It seems that moment has come when April expresses her gratitude for Rhona’s kindness and support. She also reveals she’s decided to register the birth of her stillborn baby. Will this help start to heal her pain, or cause even more distress?
Emmerdale spoilers reveal more upset for April
Later, Marlon and Rhona are surprised when April declares she wants to return to school tomorrow.
Next morning, April heads off, hopeful of a fresh start. But those hopes are dashed when she overhears two fellow students gossiping about her. Realising she’s the talk of the school, April is left feeling more isolated than ever.
Was it too soon for the traumatised teen to return to school? And can April find a way to move forward?
