April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) is still missing in Emmerdale, and Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) is completely consumed with worry.
The teen disappeared on Christmas Day. After allowing her to sleep in Christmas morning, Marlon headed upstairs to say thank you for the present April had given him, only to find she wasn’t there.
What followed next was days of desperate searching and sadly, things are not over yet.
As a new week begins, Marlon wakes suddenly after a terrible nightmare about April being dead. When Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) arrives, she shows Marlon the latest on the Hotten Courier website.
Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) is horrified to discover her past is being dredged up online and used to cast aspersions about her being responsible for April going missing. Later, utterly exhausted by another day of searching, Marlon and Rhona admit to themselves they need to consider the prospect of their little girl no longer being alive.
The next day, Marlon heads into the centre of Leeds, trudging the streets to try and find any glimmers of hope. After approaching a number of members of the public, Marlon spots a young girl in the distance that looks like April.
He races to intercept her, but Marlon then comes across Ross Barton (Michael Parr), also searching the streets.
After an initial altercation, Ross does his best to buoy Marlon and keep up his hopes of finding April.
The two men continue walking through Leeds but suddenly become overwhelmed. In a sea of people, Marlon and Ross realise they are completely surrounded by reminders that April is just one of hundreds of thousands of missing people.
Will she ever return home?
