As the festive season approached, Marlon Dingle in Emmerdale was looking forward to a relaxing Christmas Day filled with indulging in chocolates and boozy drinks. However, things took a stressful turn for the beloved character when his daughter April became entangled in Jade's revenge scheme against Ross Barton.
Mark Charnock, the actor who plays Marlon, explained to Metro that the tension between April and her parents is to be expected since she is a teenager. But the recent revelation about her mother's death, which was not suicide as originally believed, has shattered her trust in Marlon. He had kept the truth from her out of a desire to protect her, but also because he didn't know how to broach such a sensitive subject with his young daughter.
The trouble only escalates as Christmas draws near. Marlon discovers that April has been trying to buy cannabis through her text messages. When he confronts her, a heated argument ensues and April storms out. Later, Marlon runs into Ross and, fueled by his anger and worry for his daughter, pins him against the wall and warns him to stay away from April.
April's rebellious behavior continues to cause concern for her family. She makes a spectacle of herself and causes a scene at the Woolpack when she drunkenly spills wine on Donna's memory card. This leads to an explosive and chaotic Christmas Eve, setting the stage for a catastrophic Christmas Day.
Mark described the events of Christmas Day as a "volcanic, explosive, drunken" nightmare. April's disappearance on this day of all days leaves Marlon in a state of panic and despair. He had already taken her phone, making it even more difficult to track her down. The thought of his child being missing on such a special day is unimaginable to him.
As the village comes together in a search party to find April, the tensions and conflicts between the residents are put aside. Mark shared that this storyline will only continue to escalate, with this being just the beginning. The question remains, when will April be found? The suspense and drama continue to build in Emmerdale.
