A terrible tragedy is about to strike Emmerdale when April Windsor – a girl who is loved for her intelligence and kindness – suddenly becomes the center of a case related to a dangerous pill that almost killed her brother Leo.

It all started when April was torn by an unnamed debt to a scary man named Ray Walters – who had promised to help her out of financial trouble, but in return turned her into a “puppet” in his dark game.

April was forced to “keep the goods” – packets of pills that were said to be “harmless” – but in a moment of panic, she let Leo take the wrong ones.

Unexpectedly, Leo drank them and quickly collapsed before her eyes.

The scene completely broke April. When Marlon – the father of two children – received the news, he rushed to the hospital, screaming his daughter’s name in despair. Leo was lucky to survive, but the doctor revealed that the boy had a strong stimulant in his blood – not a regular drug.

April was stunned. She tried to hide the truth by saying Leo had “food poisoning”, but her uneasy eyes made everyone suspicious. Meanwhile, Ray started calling and threatening: “If you say anything, I will tell the whole village your secret.” Frightened, April secretly deleted all the messages and burned the cigarette packaging, but the more she tried to delete, the more she was forced into a corner. During sleepless nights, she could only cry silently, haunted by the question: “If Leo died, could I live?”
