In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale, April came clean to Celia and Ray about what had happened with Callum. April had ran off after refusing to sleep with Callum, who she then hit over the head with a bottle after he wouldn’t let her go.

Celia received a call while in the pub and cut short her evening, soon tracking down April alongside Ray. The duo proceeded to quiz the teen about what happened, and she quickly confessed all.

While April breathed a sigh of relief at the news, Celia informed her she had thought up plenty of ways for April to make it up to her in the future.

Celia soon headed back to the pub, while Ray went to find Callum’s body and prepare to sort out the crime scene.

Ray then headed back to find April. He threatened her as she begged to be returned to her family. Ray then informed Celia that April was planning to leave and said she was going to turn them both in.
