Emmerdale’s April Windsor is almost caught at a drug drop by PC Swirling next week – but will the startling wake-up call be enough for her to stop doing Ray’s bidding?

April’s descent into the world of drug crime reaches a new low as she arrives at a car park to meet a sketchy young lad and drop drugs off, only to be spotted by patrolling PC Swirling…

 

 

“April is seriously playing with fire,” our Emmerdale source explains.

“Luckily, Swirling doesn’t see anything untoward and believes April’s lies about what she’s doing hanging around a dodgy car park.

“April has already been mugged, now almost arrested – whatever happens next can’t be good.”

 

 

When Swirling gives anxious April a lift home, Rhona Goskirk demands answers – but like Swirling, she believes the girl’s lies, leaving April wracked with guilt.

Unbeknownst to her, scary Ray knows all about her run-in with the police – and cruelly tells Dylan Penders that he doubts she can be trusted to stay silent.

When Dylan explains Ray’s doubts to shaken April, she’s furious that he’s been discussing her with Ray. Dylan makes things worse when he encourages her to keep working for Ray by insisting that they need the money for the flat they plan to share.

“Dylan totally guilt-trips April by bringing up their renting dreams – she just wants to be a normal young couple in love, not Bonnie and Clyde,” our insider adds.

“She rushes off in a huff, leaving Dylan majorly regretting his words. April has been counting on the fact that Dylan has changed, but now she could be starting to regret giving him a chance…”

Later, April pities Dylan when she sees how much faith he has in wrong’un Ray. As they head off to meet Ray in a lay-by, they’re determined to talk him round and escape his influence – but when Ray decides he only needs April, he speeds off with her in the car, leaving Dylan in the dust.
