As PC Swirling told Marlon and Rhona that the police had located his daughter, a heartbreaking flashback showed her experiences on the streets of Leeds. Quickly finding herself without money and with nowhere to go, April fell in with two other homeless youths – Dylan and Bex. Staying with the pair at the dilapidated building they were sheltered in, April found trust and friendship. Together, they soon fell into a daily routine. However, tragedy was in store.

What a load!” another exclaimed. A curious misstep for an episode many have hailed as one of the soap’s most powerful.
