Marlon Dingle is set to take extreme measures next week in Emmerdale as he becomes increasingly desperate to remove Dylan from April Windsor’s life.
With concerns mounting over Dylan’s influence on his daughter, Marlon resorts to manipulative tactics in an effort to drive him away.
However, his scheme soon takes a dark turn, leading to devastating consequences.
Marlon’s Growing Concerns Over Dylan
Dylan, played by Fred Kettle, recently returned to the soap after making his debut in April Windsor’s flashback episode last month.
Having formed a close bond with April while she was living on the streets, Dylan became a source of support for her.
However, since her return to the village, April has found it difficult to readjust, and she is determined to maintain her connection with Dylan.
While April sees Dylan as a friend who understands her struggles, Marlon is far from convinced. He believes Dylan is a bad influence on his daughter and will only lead her further down a troubled path. As Marlon’s suspicions grow, he becomes fixated on pushing Dylan out of April’s life—no matter what it takes.
Dylan’s Struggles and Marlon’s Manipulation
Next week, Ross Barton offers April some advice about Dylan, warning her that he needs professional help to overcome his addiction to spice. This revelation only strengthens Marlon’s belief that Dylan poses a danger to April.
Shortly after this, a worrying incident occurs at the village vets. April’s stepmother, Rhona Goskirk, discovers that ketamine has gone missing from the practice’s drug cabinet. Suspicion quickly falls on Dylan, given his past struggles.
Despite Dylan’s protests of innocence, the situation takes a turn when the missing drugs are found in his coat pocket. April is left devastated, struggling to reconcile the betrayal she feels with the loyalty she has toward Dylan.
Marlon’s Dark Secret is Revealed
While April is heartbroken over the situation, Marlon confesses to Rhona that he was the one who planted the drugs on Dylan. His ruthless actions were a calculated move to discredit Dylan in April’s eyes, ensuring she would distance herself from him.
Rhona is horrified by Marlon’s deception and urges him to see the damage he has caused. However, their concerns soon shift when they learn that Dylan has suffered a drug overdose.
A Life in Jeopardy
Dylan is rushed to the hospital in critical condition, and the severity of the situation hits Marlon hard. Overcome with guilt, he considers coming clean to clear Dylan’s name. However, Rhona warns him that doing so could destroy his already fragile relationship with April.
As Dylan regains consciousness, Marlon takes the opportunity to admit his wrongdoing. Rather than reacting with anger, Dylan surprises Marlon with his understanding response. Recognizing that revealing the truth to April would only hurt her further, Dylan agrees to keep the secret between them.
Touched by Dylan’s mature approach to the situation, Marlon makes arrangements for him to receive treatment at a rehab facility. This decision marks a turning point for Dylan, offering him a chance to break free from his troubled past.
Will Dylan Expose Marlon?
Before Dylan leaves for rehab, he tells Marlon that he has something important to share with April. This leaves Marlon on edge, unsure whether Dylan has changed his mind about keeping the secret. If Dylan chooses to reveal the truth, it could have serious repercussions for Marlon’s relationship with April.
With these intense developments unfolding, Emmerdale fans are eagerly anticipating the fallout. Will Dylan betray Marlon’s trust, or will he stick to his word and leave the past behind? One thing is certain—this gripping storyline is far from over.
Emmerdale airs these dramatic scenes on Monday, March 10, Tuesday, March 11, and Wednesday, March 12 on ITV1 and ITVX.
