Emmerdale fans will see April Windsor’s trauma<\/a> take a toll on her next week when she struggles at school \u2013 and has an unwelcome encounter with someone from her past.<\/p>\n

After doing very little revision for her upcoming GCSEs, unmotivated April struggles to sit an exam due to feelings of panic, breaking her dad Marlon’s heart.<\/p>\n

Desperate to help his teenage daughter, Marlon talks to the school \u2013 and when Belle suggests that April might benefit from resitting the year, Marlon sees some light at the end of the tunnel. <\/p>\n

“After the year April’s had, the idea that she might be able to wipe the slate clean and re-do Year 11 is a welcome choice for Marlon,” our Emmerdale source tells us.<\/p>\n

“He’s a devoted dad who wants the best for his daughter, but he’s afraid that if he puts too much pressure on her, she’ll run off again. If she can’t sit her GCSEs successfully now, waiting a year isn’t such a bad thing.”<\/p>\n

Determined to take on some responsibility and widen her prospects, April seeks out a summer job and is thrilled when Belle Dingle offers her a trial shift at Take A Vow<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Her first responsibility is to film a christening \u2013 but her excitement soon turns to icy horror when she realises that the baby’s father is one of the vile men who threatened to urinate on her when she was living on the streets.<\/p>\n

“April experienced so much trauma while she was homeless, and seeing the man who tormented and belittled her brings it all flooding back,” our insider continues.<\/p>\n

“She’s been struggling with her mental health for months, and now the one time that she attempts to do something beneficial for her, her hard past comes back to haunt her.<\/p>\n

“Seeing the man happy with a family is a big shock to her, and it really rocks her. She feels as though she can’t escape from the terrible things that she experienced.”<\/p>\n

As Marlon and Mary watch on proudly, totally unaware that April has recognised the man, she prepares to turn the christening upside down\u2026<\/p>\n

But what does she have planned? And will her actions cause more devastation for her and Marlon? <\/p>\n
