Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ real father of April’s baby in Tom King horror twist

Emmerdale enthusiasts are abuzz with speculation that Tom King, portrayed by James Chase, might be the father of April Windsor’s (Amelia Flanagan) child.

In harrowing scenes broadcast last week, April gave birth in a gym toilet, only to face the devastating reality that her baby was stillborn.

Following the traumatic event, April was whisked away to the hospital for urgent care before she hesitantly made her way back to the village.

The sorrowful teenager later discovered she had delivered a girl, leading to poignant moments where she and her dad, (Mark Charnock), bid farewell to their little one.

Yet, it’s painfully obvious that the 15-year-old is battling her emotions, increasingly distancing herself from her father and Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry). The question remains: Could this lead to her fleeing once more? .

Since the revelation of April’s pregnancy, the internet has been rife with fan theories and conjectures about the identity of the baby’s father.

Despite April’s claims that the father was a “random” boy from a party whose name she can’t recall, fans remain sceptical.

New suspicions have now emerged pointing towards Tom King, who made an unforeseen return this week.

A fan posted on a Facebook group, “Guess who is back? As I said before, I think Tom was the father of April’s baby. Tom will contest the divorce, then it will all come out, and Bell will be able to divorce him because of it.”

Another chimed in: “I think he’s back and it’s something to do with April, let’s face it, he is an abuser.”

Speculation is rife among fans, with one suggesting: “I also think he got April pregnant,” Another viewer shared their hunch, saying: “Could Tom be the father of April’s baby? Not sure why, but I just have a hunch.”

Other potential fathers being considered by fans include Ross Barton and Noah Dingle. In the latest episode, available on ITVX, Belle Dingle visits Tom in prison, where things escalate as she demands a divorce.

Tom, still clinging to the idea of their relationship, believes they can work through their issues, but Belle is resolute, telling him: “I am going because you know what? The hard work has already been done.”

Gesturing to her head and heart, she adds: “In here and in here because you have been gone for a very long time and this divorce is the cherry on top and I am having it.”
