April Windsor was feeling frustrated with her father, Marlon Dingle, as he attempted to offer her support. In the latest episode of Emmerdale, Marlon found himself walking on eggshells around his daughter, uncertain of how to approach her after the traumatic experience of giving birth to a stillborn baby in a gym bathroom. As a result, he was afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing.
Feeling lost, Marlon turned to his friend Rhona Goskirk for advice. They both agreed that they needed guidance on how to handle the delicate situation and decided to seek out Lydia Dingle, who had also experienced the loss of a stillborn child while living in a children's home.
Lydia shared her own experience, expressing that losing her son was the darkest time of her life. She had no home, no family, and no one to turn to for love. Though she initially felt ashamed, she eventually found solace in the love she still held for her child. However, she couldn't offer any specific advice for April, as every person handles grief in their own time and way.
Rhona suggested that it might be helpful for April to say a proper goodbye to the baby at the hospital. Lydia was unsure if it would be beneficial, but shared that scattering her son's ashes had meant the world to her. With this in mind, Rhona and Marlon asked April if she would like to visit the baby, and she agreed, asking Marlon to accompany her.
As they entered the room where the baby lay in a small wicker basket, April could only stay for a few moments before leaving. Left alone with his stillborn granddaughter, Marlon couldn't contain his emotions and broke down. He apologized to the baby for not getting the chance to meet her and expressed that she would always be a part of their family. He promised that they would never forget her and that they loved her.
Though this may have been what Marlon needed to do, he was taken aback when they returned home to find that April was furious with him. She revealed that she had only gone to the hospital to appease Marlon and that she had hated every moment of it. She felt like he was watching her and waiting for her to break down, while she felt nothing. She could see that Marlon was upset for a baby he had never even met.
In the aftermath of her traumatic experience, April was still struggling to come to terms with everything. Meanwhile, Marlon was also trying to navigate a completely changed world. As Mark Charnock, who plays Marlon, explained, "Her life has changed so much in ways that Rhona and Marlon can't even begin to understand. They're going to have to deal with a whole new person or try to reconnect with the parts of her they used to know."
