April trapped in a bedroom with a man in disturbing Emmerdale scenes
Things escalate even further (Picture: ITV) April Windsor’s (Amelia Flanagan) danger level is extortionate, and yet somehow, Ray Walters’ (Joe Absolom) expert manipulation has led her to believe he’s keeping her safe. April owes drug king-pin Ray a load of dosh after costing him money in a drug deal gone wrong, a fact which he’s been cleverly lauding over her so that she remains trapped in his game. Ray convinced her to start dealing, much to Dylan Penders’ (Fred Kettle) disgust, but with the teens so desperate to pay off their debt, it felt like they had no other choice. Dylan even learned to drive so that he could do more drug drops for Ray, although Ray cleverly added the cost of the lessons to their debt after promising them as a gift. Ray managed to convince April that it would be best if she moved out of Smithy Cottage (Picture: ITV) While Dylan is pleased that he’s passed his test and scores a driving gig with the depot, April learns she is being sent to Liverpool. She tries to refuse the job, but Ray is quick to threaten her that he’ll sell her debt if she doesn’t go. Backed into a corner, April tries to steal Rhona’s (Zoe Henry) jewellery to pay off the debt instead, but she’s caught before she can make her getaway. With no choice, April takes the job. But Ray tells her she’s been too slow, he’s given it to someone else. And what a shame it is as she could have earned a packet. Instead, he gives her another job with a ‘valuable client’. He takes her to a hotel to deal cocaine directly to the client, with instructions to have a drink with him to keep him sweet. April recently learnt that Celia is in charge of the entire operation, not Ray (Picture: ITV) April’s nervous but ballsy, and heads into the hotel. She finds the client, Tim, who invites her in and accepts the cocaine. He offers her a drink as Ray says he would, but to April’s surprise, it’s not a San Pellegrino. It’s vodka. Before she knows what’s happened, she realises she can’t leave as Tim traps her in the room. No one knows she’s there, and he’s high on class A drugs. Will the unthinkable happen to April? Or is this another sick test from Ray?
