Emmerdale fans are convinced that villain Celia Daniels will go on to murder one of the soap’s most beloved characters
Emmerdale’s villainous character Celia Daniels, played by Jaye Griffiths, could be on the brink of murdering a soap icon, according to fans’ speculations.
Celia, a farmer, made her first appearance on the ITV soap earlier this year and quickly stirred up trouble. As the neighbouring tenant of Moria Dingle (Natalie J Robb), the two decided to go into business together.
However, it wasn’t long before Celia’s sinister side was unveiled to viewers. In a shocking plot twist, it was revealed that Celia is the brains behind the drug dealing operation in the Dales, with Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) being her son.
The duo have since manipulated and groomed young characters April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) and Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle). This week, Celia and Ray coerced April into visiting one of their clients, Callum, for sexual purposes.
While April was at Callum’s place, a scheming Celia was enjoying a date with April’s grandfather, Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw). To add to the intrigue, April’s father Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) also dropped by for a drink with Celia, oblivious to what she was forcing his daughter to do, reports the Daily Star.
However, events took a dramatic turn at Callum’s house when he forced himself on April, despite her objections. In self-defence, she picked up a vodka bottle and struck Callum over the head, seemingly killing him.
In Friday’s episode (October 31), a distraught April informed Ray and Celia about the incident, leaving them enraged. Celia instructed Ray to get rid of the body while she returned to her date with April’s grandfather.
Later, when alone with April, Celia issued a chilling warning about what would happen if the teenager ever tried to escape her clutches, claiming she now “owns” her.
She proposed a sinister twist on the game of snog, marry and avoid, involving the “three most important men in” April’s life; Marlon, Bob and Dylan. In a disturbing scene, Celia told April: “My version is burn, stab, drown”.
Fans are now speculating that Celia might actually carry out a murder to keep April in line. On an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one viewer wrote: “God I hate them Ray and Celia. Feel like busting the door down and rescuing poor April….”
Another commented: “The way she told April one of her family members will die if she doesn’t do what she says… so vile!” A third suggested Bob Hope could be the victim: “She might kill Bob.”
Another agreed: “He needs to get away from her fast.” A fifth added: “I did think it was weird why she is getting so close to him. Something up her sleeve.”
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
