Emmerdale airs game-changing double twist for April Windsor drugs story in ITVX release

But the day is set to take an even darker turn for the teen.

Having started dealing drugs for Ray Walters (Joe Absolom), April was found by boyfriend Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle), who promised to put a stop to everything for her.

But Ray manipulated Dylan, leading Dylan to agree for April to keep dealing to pay off their "debts".

But when April agrees to look after Leo, and Ray gets in touch ordering her to do a job, she drops a bag of pills in the house before leaving her vulnerable sibling alone.

Leo picks up the tablets, and April is horrified when she returns home to see him being loaded into an ambulance as frantic parents Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) and Rhona Goskirk (Zoë Henry) look on.

At the hospital, Rhona is suspicious of April, and although she considers coming clean, she panics and flees when she spots police approaching.

But April tells Dylan she wants to confess, and as Ray overhears the conversation, how will he regain control over the situation?

And will Leo be okay?

As April tries to gather herself in anticipation of questioning from the authorities, she's not expecting to bump into a senior character from the drug operation.

With all becoming clear on who's pulling the strings with Ray, that's not the only bombshell thrown viewers' way.
