Emmerdale has confirmed what happened to April Windsor in pictures from the upcoming special episode.
Set to air on Tuesday February 4, viewers will see a special standalone episode of the soap which recounts April’s heartbreaking story, detailing what happened to her while she was missing.
April ran away from home over Christmas after a troubling few weeks in which she was kidnapped by Jade, discovered what really happened to her late mum Donna, and fell out with her dad Marlon Dingle.
During the past few weeks, Marlon and Rhona have faced emotional turmoil as they searched for the missing teen and in Monday’s episode they will receive a visit from PC Swirling, telling them that April has been found.
Tuesday’s flashback episode will follow April’s journey on the streets from having no luck finding anywhere to stay to the heartbreaking and terrifying situations the teenager found herself in.
Emmerdale Producer, Laura Shaw, said of the episode: “April’s flashback episode is a heartbreaking depiction of life on the street as a teenage girl.
“Continuing to take guidance from the fabulous team at Missing People, it was incredibly important that we didn’t shy away from the agonising journey that April would go through and their help was invaluable in making sure the episode has the authenticity required.
“Amelia Flanagan’s outstanding performance makes this arguably, one of Emmerdale’s stand out episodes of this year and promises to start a new journey for the character of April, forever changed by her time living on the city streets.”
