It looks like Emmerdale fans are deep into speculation over who the father of April
Windsor’s baby could be, with many now pointing fingers at Tom King. The recent storyline has gripped viewers, especially after April’s heartbreaking experience of giving birth to a stillborn child. The emotional scenes showed her going into labor
unexpectedly in a gym toilet, only to face devastating loss shortly after.
Following a rushed hospital visit, April returned home to process the tragic event. As she struggled with her grief, it became clear that she was distancing herself from her father, Marlon Dingle, and Rhona Goskirk. The pain she’s experiencing has left many wondering how she will cope in the aftermath. Some fans even believe she might try to run away again rather than face the overwhelming sorrow she feels.
The biggest question still hanging over the storyline is the identity of the baby’s father. Emmerdale has been keeping this a mystery, which has led to widespread fan theories. April previously claimed that the father was an unknown boy she met at a party, someone she couldn’t remember. However, not everyone is convinced that she’s telling the whole truth.
One of the most popular theories circulating online suggests that Tom King might actually be the father. His sudden return to the soap this week has fueled further speculation, with fans wondering if his comeback is linked to April’s secret.
A Facebook discussion on the subject saw one viewer confidently state, “Guess who is back. As I said before, I think Tom was the father of April’s baby and Tom will contest the divorce, then it will all come out, and Belle will be able to divorce him because of it.” Others chimed in, adding that Tom has a history of being manipulative and controlling, making his involvement in April’s situation a possibility.
Another fan wrote, “I think he’s back and it’s something to do with April. Let’s face it, he is an abuser.” This suspicion is shared by many, as viewers have seen Tom’s darker side in his past relationships, particularly his abusive treatment of Belle Dingle.
Of course, Tom isn’t the only name being suggested. Other possible candidates include Ross Barton and Noah Dingle, two characters who have also been linked to April in fan theories. The show has yet to confirm anything, leaving viewers on edge as they try to piece together the truth.
Meanwhile, in the latest episode available on ITVX, Belle Dingle confronted Tom in prison, demanding a divorce. Their heated exchange revealed how differently they see the situation. While Belle was firm in her decision to move on, Tom seemed delusional about their relationship, insisting they could still fix things.
Belle, however, was having none of it. She made it clear that she had already moved on emotionally and that ending their marriage was just a formality. “I am going because you know what? The hard work has already been done,” she told him, pointing to her head and heart. “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.”
As the drama continues to unfold, fans are eager to see whether their theories hold any truth. Will Tom King turn out to be the father of April’s baby? Or is there another shocking twist waiting to be revealed? Emmerdale never fails to keep its audience guessing, and this storyline is proving to be no exception.
