After what seemed like an eternity of heartache and worry, April Windsor has finally been found in Emmerdale. But the question on everyone's mind is, what condition is she in after all this time? Especially for her father Marlon Dingle, whose heart has been shattered since her disappearance.
It all started on Christmas Eve, when April had a fight with her dad and ran away. Since then, Marlon has been consumed with finding his daughter and has not stopped for a moment. He has rallied the entire village to help in the search, even at the cost of his own marriage. He's also put his own health at risk after collapsing and learning he was on the verge of a second stroke.
The family has faced many challenges during the search. Rhona Goskirk's past was exposed by Wendy, causing the couple to become targets for online trolls. And to make matters worse, cruel influencers invaded their home and even broadcasted from April's bedroom.
Rhona decided to offer a reward for any information on April's whereabouts, but instead, they were bombarded with scammers trying to take advantage of the situation. There was a glimmer of hope when April was seen on CCTV in Leeds, but as the days went by, that hope faded as she remained missing with no phone or money.
Marlon has been deeply affected by April's disappearance, and his friend Ross Barton can see the toll it's taking on him. He reminds Marlon that he has a family who needs him at home. When Marlon returns home, Rhona is shocked by his appearance but also relieved that it may be a wake-up call for him.
However, Marlon is not ready to open up about the events leading to his black eye. This only adds to Rhona's anxiety and puts even more strain on their marriage. She pleads with him to think of their other children and spend more time with them, but Marlon's emotions are running high, and he lashes out at her. It's clear that he's not in a sound state of mind, and Rhona is heartbroken to see him unraveling.
Thankfully, Paddy steps in and encourages Marlon to talk to Rhona about his feelings. But before they can have a proper conversation, PC Swirling pays a visit. Marlon and Rhona's hearts sink, fearing the worst about April's condition. But the question remains, in what state will she return to them?
