The latest Emmerdale spoilers have already revealed the troubles of Marlon Dingle—but now, despite a relief, there’s a blow of turmoil waiting for him. Now, the soap star, Marlon Dingle, has shed light on his onscreen struggles as April returns and he tries to reconnect with his daughter.
April’s Return Brings New Challenges
After weeks of uncertainty, Monday’s episode is going to be crucial. We already revealed in yesterday’s update about April’s return—however, the parents are still not happy. While she has come back, she hardly seems like her old self, and the process of reintegrating her into the family is going to be anything but simple.
A special flashback episode on Tuesday will reveal the details of April’s disappearance and shed light on where she has been the past six weeks and what she has gone through. But Mark Charnock hints that April’s homecoming wouldn’t mean her return to normalcy just yet. He said, “From research, we know that’s not straightforward. It’s an equally difficult part of the process.”
For Marlon, welcoming April home would be a mixed emotion with added tension as she might not be the same person who left. Charnock even explained that after going missing, it was almost as if a person became “missing in their house”—they were physically present, but the version of them that had existed before was gone. He even suggested that while the family would try to support April, it’s also pretty new to them.
April’s return would definitely bring new challenges, different attitudes, and emotional scars that could alter the family dynamic. The actor also hinted that Marlon, in particular, would be sinking in guilt, and his fears would only grow regarding losing April again. A number of traumatic events already followed April’s disappearance—now, has she come across another one while she was missing? Only the upcoming Emmerdale spoilers can reveal. Until then, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily.
