*Warning – This article contains major spoilers for Tuesday’s (November 4) episode of Emmerdale.*
Emmerdale star Mark Charnock was left in tears over a huge Marlon Dingle twist on Tuesday (November 4).
ITV soap fans will know that Marlon’s daughter, April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan), has been reluctantly dealing drugs for Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) in an attempt to pay off her boyfriend Dylan Penders’ (Fred Kettle) debt.
It was soon revealed that local farmer Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) was the mastermind behind the drugs gang, as well as being Ray’s mother.
In recent scenes, April accidentally killed a man named Callum, who had paid Ray and Celia to spend the night with the youngster.
During Tuesday’s special episode, which is now available to stream on ITVX, an anxious April paid a visit to her father Marlon, with a shocking twist in store for the pair, reports the Daily Star.

In the heartfelt scenes, April opened up to her dad about the challenges she’s faced, with Marlon insisting that they must report Ray and Celia to the police.
As the pair went back and forth over what to do, villain Ray soon burst through the door, before shooting Marlon dead.
However, all was not as it seemed. As a flashback of April and Marlon’s day played out, it was soon revealed that the events were a part of April’s imagination.
Marlon actor Mark Charnock spoke about the heartbreaking episode on today’s episode of This Morning, saying: “It’s been a really dark year for Marlon and April. She was missing for so long, but she came back, he got her back.
“The hell that has been unleashed on her since, and what may or may not be unleashed on her parents, is nothing in comparison to what her absence was like.”
He went on: “Where we are right now, and with tonight’s episode, Marlon has no idea that she’s been through that.
“They’ve not been communicating. [Marlon’s] desperately overcompensating, like, ‘I want my girl back’. And because of everything she’s been going through, she’s protecting him by not telling him. She’s killed a man and it’s self-defence.
“In tonight’s episode, she just comes to speak to him generally and he’s so overwhelmed… The first two-thirds of the episode is a coming back together, it’s his little girl that’s back.
“And for the audience, who know what’s happened, the whole thing is teetering on this knife edge of, ‘Will she tell him?’ And if she tells him, it could change everything.”
On the episode’s huge twist, Mark added: “It’s a big twist, and something happens that will pull the rug from under everybody’s expectations… There’s an astonishing shock.
“The producers told me about the episode and what was going to happen, but reading it was more shocking. I cried when I read it.”
As the episode drew to a close, April decided to stay quiet about her situation and gave her dad a big hug, before leaving Smithy Cottage. How will April get out of her dark situation?
