Emmerdale has not yet recovered from the old shocks when the whole village is shocked by a shocking secret: Celia Daniels, the woman who was thought to be just a landowner, turns out to be the “boss” behind the drug ring manipulating April Windsor and Dylan Penders.

From a seemingly harmless figure, Celia has now become a mental controller that almost makes April collapse.

In a haunting scene, April confesses to Celia that she cannot bear the pressure, especially after Leo – her younger brother – almost died because of a dropped pill.

April wants to go to the police, wants to end everything, but Celia appears and promptly extinguishes the ray of hope.

She does not hesitate to use violence, slaps April, forces her to sit on a chair, and says each word: “If you open your mouth, your whole family will pay.”

April’s eyes were red, her voice was trembling, she tried to swallow her tears to stay alive. The scene sent chills down the viewer’s spine as they felt like they were witnessing a small prey being cornered by a predator. Celia not only threatened, but also instilled fear in April: that at any moment, she could strike.

From then on, April’s life fell into darkness. She no longer dared to smile, did not dare to speak, and always lived in the feeling of being watched. Dylan, her companion, was also pushed into the vortex but was helpless, not knowing what to do to save April. In the eyes of the audience, April was now no different from a manipulated pawn, and Celia became one of the most terrifying villains in Emmerdale.
