Emmerdale star confirms fan favourite's return after months off-screen
A FAN favourite on Emmerdale is making a long-anticipated return. Dylan Penders, played by Fred Kettle, will be returning to ITV screens soon after months off the show. 5 5 5 The character was first introduced to Emmerdale viewers earlier this year when he befriended April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan), during her stint being unhoused and living on the streets. Despite caring for April and becoming good friends, her dad Marlon Dingle, was not a fan on Dylan and resorted to planting drugs on Dylan in a desperate bid to force him out of April's life. But his plan backfired dramatically when Dylan ended up overdosing and left to attend rehab. Emmerdale producers revealed earlier this month that Dylan would be returning to the village, but Amelia, who plays April on the soap gave a hint when exactly fans can expect to see him again. "April has had an incredibly tough year with what she has been through, with the pregnancy and the homelessness storyline," she told Mirror Online. "April and Dylan didn't leave things on the best terms, but I think what is important now is that he's back." Amelia added: "Who knows what will happen. It will be great to explore that relationship further, I think fans want to see that which is great." It's been a big week for Amelia who took out the gong for Best Young Performer at Thursday's British Soap Awards. She managed to win the prize ahead of her brother William Flanagan, who was nominated for playing Joseph Brown on Coronation Street. Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw confirmed Dylan's return earlier this month. Emmerdale's Marlon visits Dylan in hospital after he takes an overdose "Lovely Fred Kettle, who plays Dylan, is coming back to the show," she told media. "He's going to be bringing his past back to the village with him. And that's going to cause huge problems for April and the wider family there." Laura added: "We've got a couple of exciting new castings that are joining us for that story, but I'm not allowed to tell you who they are. Watch this space, because it's very exciting." 5 5

Horrifying moment Emmerdale's April comes face to face with man who committed disgusting act on her while homeless
EMMERDALE's April Windsor has come face to face with a vile man she endured during her time living on the streets. The teen, who spent time pregnant and homeless, unwittingly ran into a man who she encountered during her time sleeping rough. 5 5 5 Fans of Emmerdale will recall how April disappeared at Christmas amid her secret pregnancy and family unrest. She lived on the streets before eventually finding a squat where she stayed and begged for cash on the streets as well as witnessing brutal murders and attacks. April suffered her own trauma when she miscarried whilst homeless before being raced to hospital suffering from complications. Now, in scenes broadcast during the latest Emmerdale episode, April is forced to relive her horror ordeal when she comes face-to-face with a man who suggested he could perform a disgusting act on her because she was homeless. In the episode, April began working alongside Belle and the Take A Vow business amid struggles with schooling. She was tasked with helping out with a local christening and filming the day's proceedings. But when the dad of the child set to be christened walked into The Woolpack, April was visibly taken aback. A flashback then saw April sleeping rough as two drunk guys approached her. One man could be heard asking: "Why are we so wasted?" The other man then stated that he was "bursting" in a reference to needing to use the toilet. Emmerdale newcomer Bradley Riches reveals soap bosses allowed him to re-write his scripts for new role as Lewis Barton His pal then shockingly encouraged him to "go on him" after mistaking April for a man. Hitting back, the vile man then said: "Him? You need your eyes testing, he is a little girl." Then then asked April if she wanted a drink before throwing their remaining beer at her as the man begin to tug at his belt and unzip his jeans. April then began to get up and attempt to flee the situation as the man in question continued to unbuckle his trousers with a plan to urinate on her. 5 5 The homeless teen managed to get away with the man shouting a shocking comment to her, having already referenced one vile act. As he tugged at his jeans once more, he remarked: "Fancy earning yourself a quick fiver, do you?" The scene then cut back to April as she looked on in fear inside the pub. But will April tell everyone about her encounter with the vile man? Or will it be another secret she is forced to live with from her time on the streets?
