Emmerdale’s Dylan to share upsetting plan amid exit fears

Emmerdale teen Dylan Penders makes a heartbreaking decision next week as he prepares for a future behind bars.

As Dylan and Paddy Dingle both resign themselves to the likelihood of a prison sentence, their thoughts turn to those who they’ll be leaving behind.

Paddy seeks reassurance that his wife Mandy will have financial security if he’s not around, while Dylan worries that his girlfriend April Windsor will waste her life waiting for him.

“April makes it very clear to everyone that she’ll wait for Dylan if he gets sent down,” explains our Emmerdale insider. “After everything they’ve been through together, she’s adamant that they come as a team and that won’t change.

“While some people may think that Dylan and April are just kids, they’ve had to grow up quickly following the traumas of the past year. But as the trial gets closer, it becomes obvious that they may not be on the same page…”

April is unaware that Dylan plans to end things with her if he goes to prison. In his eyes, it’s better to keep April at arm’s length by ghosting her so that she’s not tempted to put everything on hold for him.

Before long, April’s dad Marlon finds out what Dylan has planned and he warns her what to expect. But how will she respond?

“April doesn’t stand for much nonsense these days, so it’s unclear whether she’ll take Dylan’s plan lying down,” continues our spy. “There’s still plenty of time for her to speak up – and potentially change Dylan’s mind.

“It’ll be interesting to see what Marlon makes of it all, too. He’s become fond of Dylan but would he rather April moved on with her life?”

Paddy and Dylan recently confessed to their part in helping Bear Wolf cover up Ray Walters’s murder.

They were initially keeping quiet about their involvement, but ultimately came clean in the belief that it could help to back up Bear’s claims of self-defence.

We’ll see how it all plays out when the trial begins next month…

Emmerdale‘s Marlon Dingle plots to abandon Dylan Penders tonight as he tries to save his family from Ray Walters and Celia Daniels. As Marlon hopes to quickly secure the safety of Rhona, April, Leo and Ivy, it’s clear that this will mean potentially sacrificing Dylan in the process.

Marlon and his wife Rhona are planning to flee from the village so that their daughter April doesn’t have to keep doing drugs jobs for Ray and Celia. They first came up with the idea last week, seeing no other way out after Ray and Celia’s sinister threats.

In tonight’s episode, Marlon and Rhona solidify their desperate measures – planning to leave with their family that day. Knowing that April won’t want to leave Dylan, they agree to keep her in the dark for as long as possible.

Dylan is still fighting for his life in hospital after Ray deliberately ran him over in the road. Ray carried out the horrific plan as a double punishment for Dylan and April both disobeying his orders.

In new scenes tonight, Marlon acknowledges that he may be throwing Dylan to the wolves by leaving him behind.

“I hate that as much as you do – it’s destroying me,” Marlon tells Rhona. “To think what he might wake up to – if he wakes up.

“But what’s the alternative? We stay here like sitting ducks. If April finds out what we’re doing now, she’ll never leave him.”

Later, when it’s time to come clean, Marlon and Rhona’s forceful tactics don’t go down well with April at all…

“April’s horrified when she realises that Marlon and Rhona are essentially kidnapping her,” our Emmerdale source explains. “It’s the last thing she wants – she fears any rash moves like this will only make the ordeal worse for everyone.

“It seems that April is right on this front, as Ray manages to stay one step ahead…”
