In a shocking turn of events on Thursday’s episode of Emmerdale, the storyline surrounding the disappearance of April Windsor took an unexpected twist.
Jacob Gallagher, a young doctor in training, was working a shift in A&E when he was startled by the arrival of a young woman who had been stabbed.
Although Jacob didn’t see the patient’s face, he found her purse and quickly realised it belonged to the missing April, prompting him to inform her anxious parents, Marlon Dingle and Rhona Goskirk.
Marlon and Rhona immediately rushed to the hospital, only for their worst fears to be confirmed when the surgeon announced that the patient had died during surgery.

However, upon identifying the body, they were shocked to discover that it wasn’t April but another person. This led to Jacob being severely reprimanded by hospital staff for breaching patient confidentiality and causing unnecessary distress to the parents, reports Leeds Live.
Flocking to Twitter, now X, Emmerdale fans quickly began theorising how April’s purse ended up in someone else’s hands. One viewer tweeted: “My guess is April threw her purse away before she got in that car and somebody else picked it up #emmerdale”, whilst another suggested: “I bet someone has stolen April’s purse or she’s lost it. #Emmerdale @emmerdale”.
Another chimed in with: “Telling you, it’s not even April, I reckon it’s someone who stole her purse! #emmerdale” and one more added: “No way that’s April, someone’s knicked her purse clearly! #Emmerdale.”
Viewers were left in turmoil as young April vanished on Christmas Day in scenes that pulled at the heartstrings.

Marlon was stunned to find out his daughter April had fled in the emotionally charged Christmas episode. Future episodes will unfold the harrowing motives behind April’s abrupt departure, shedding light on a part of her life Marlon never knew existed.
The ITV soap has collaborated closely with Missing People to ensure an accurate and realistic portrayal of this hard-hitting storyline. Prior to her disappearance, April was seen waiting for an unidentified person.
A vehicle soon arrived and without a word, April climbed into the back and was driven away. Since then, they have discovered a secret social media account, which April had been using under an alias, with a video showing her drunk at a party.
Emmerdale airs every weekday at 19.30pm on ITV1, ITV X, STV and STV Player with an hour-long episode on Thursdays. It is also available each morning from 07.00am on ITVX.
