Things in Emmerdale are about to get darker as Celia and Ray try to separate April from everyone she loves. And Dylan gets a promotion from the big boss herself.

It’s been getting more and more intense recently in Emmerdale, as Celia and Ray have found themselves in quite a few complicated situations. And with the net finally closing in on their operation, they are about to have one more attempt at keeping things under their control.

But just as they think they can get April away from everyone in the village, she does the one thing they are terrified of – tells Marlon and Rhona the truth. However, there’s still quite a lot of drama ahead.

Celia and Ray plotted against April tonight

In tonight’s visit to Emmerdale (December 1) April continued to let her guilt eat away at her. This prompted her to ask Bob for money. And instead of using them for Christmas presents, she headed to Callum’s house and left an envelope of cash through his letterbox.

However, she ran away right before she could see that it was in fact Callum who opened the door – very much alive. Immediately, he called Ray to fill him in. And that’s when things went a bit wrong for April.

At the bus stop, Dylan and April were talking about getting away just the two of them, even though Mandy and Paddy are preparing a huge birthday bash for him. But that’s when Ray arrived, demanding to speak to April alone.

Having a go at April, Ray was furious, demanding that she moves on from the situation with Callum. And even threatened things will get bad for her again.

However, when he filled Celia in about what happened, she was horrified that their secret came so close to being revealed. That’s when she told him that April is trouble. And with Marlon and Rhona hoping she would move home soon, Celia was adamant that April can’t be anywhere she feels loved.

Ray initially thought Celia wanted him to cut her loose. But instead, she had something much darker in mind – to move April somewhere far away from the village, and everyone she loves.

Emmerdale spoilers show Dylan’s party doesn’t go to plan

While Ray agrees to go through with the plan, and Emmerdale spoilers tell us he informs April of the decision, it seems things are about to take a huge U-turn.

When Celia interrupts Dylan’s birthday party, she gives him a ‘present’ in the form of Robbie. He is a youngster she thinks snitched on them. But when Dylan is unable to beat him up, she tells him he will be in charge of the forced workers. And he finally has the realisation that he is being exploited.

Later, when Marlon questions why he disappeared from the party, Dylan encourages him to speak to April. And when he does, he is shocked by what he hears.

April tells him and Rhona everything. And when Marlon is about to go to the police, she even informs him about ‘killing’ Callum.

But that’s when things take another turn for the worse. Just as they think they are in control of the situation, Celia arrives with a message of her own.

What happens next remains to be seen. But it is an unmissable week for all Emmerdale fans.
