Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ who takes Ray down and it’s a returning legend

Emmerdale fans are convinced they know who will take down dealer Ray Walters

Emmerdale viewers are certain they’ve figured out who will bring down the villainous Ray Walters.

The menacing dealer Ray, played by Joe Absolom, made his first appearance on the ITV soap this year, quickly stirring up trouble in the village.

As fans are aware, he has ensnared young April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) and Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) in the perilous world of drug trafficking.

Initially, it was only Dylan who was working for the dangerous Ray. However, before long, April was drawn into the shady business as well, taking on tasks for Ray after he decided she could be of use.

Despite their desire to escape the criminal activities, April and Dylan find themselves trapped, continuing to work for Ray to settle their ‘debt’. In truth, there is no debt; the crafty and malevolent Ray has been deceiving the youngsters, reports the Daily Star.

The plot took a shocking twist when it was revealed that the boss pulling the strings is Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths), who is Ray’s mother. This week, however, April and Dylan decided to abscond with some of Ray’s money.

In Wednesday’s episode (October 29), Ray discovered their plan and coerced the pair into returning. He threatened to harm April’s family, including her brother Leo (Harvey Rogerson), if they didn’t comply.

Ray soon arrived to collect April and Dylan, but instructed only Dylan to get into his car. April tried to confront Ray, but the unpleasant resident snapped at her.

He then warned her that if she wanted Dylan to be safe, she must comply with her client’s requests the following day, which she agreed to.

However, as ruthless Ray is set to stir up more trouble, fans are predicting the comeback of a soap legend to bring him down. On an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one person expressed: “This Ray story is doing my head in! Someone just kill him already.”

Anticipating the return of Scott Windsor (Ben Freeman), another person suggested: “Scott Windsor return to do it?” A third added: “Be good if Scott returned as he still has history with loads of people.”

Scott is the brother of April’s late mother, Donna Windsor (Verity Rushworth), making him April’s uncle. He was last seen on the soap in 2007 – but his name has been brought up several times since.

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
