April Windsor – the seemingly harmless girl, who smiles shyly in everyday scenes – turns out to be the character who drags Emmerdale down a dark hole.

It all started when Celia Daniels appeared, sweet and gentle, luring April into “easy work with high pay”.

Who would have thought, it was the trap of the most sophisticated human and drug trafficking ring the village had ever seen.

April thought she was just delivering a few items, running errands.

But Celia and Ray Walters gradually tightened the shackles, then threw her into shady transactions, locked rooms, strange men who looked at April with sick eyes. That fateful night happened: Celia ordered April to “deliver” to a man who specialized in entertainment. That man worked in, trying to force him. April, in extreme fear, swung a bottle of wine and smashed it straight into his head. He collapsed, motionless. April trembled, clutching her face, trying to breathe, sweat covering her hands. She believed she had really killed someone.

But the twist shocked viewers: Ray and Celia were not panicking. They whispered in April’s ear, “the body will be disposed of, but from now on you belong to us.” The shock of guilt made April silent, binding herself in torment. She acted well in front of everyone, but inside there was only the echo of the “murderous” blow and the haunting of the corpse on the floor.

Then one day, April panicked when she discovered that the “victim” was still alive. It turned out that the whole “murder – dispose of the body” plan was just to turn her into a scared pawn. Ray even deliberately let Callum – the victim – appear in front of her, looking at April with a guilty gaze, making her paralyzed and extremely scared. A psychological blow too heavy, precisely at her weakest stage.

After that, Ray gave April dark tasks: transporting contraband, providing connections, and misleading the police. April had to pretend to go to school, pretend to be okay, but every night was filled with nightmares. A child who used to smile brightly – now hunched over because of the feeling of “being a murderer”, even though in reality she was just a victim.
