Emmerdale’s April Windsor and Dylan Penders find a way to escape evil Ray Walters next week, as they plan to flee the village with a bag of his cash to start a new life. But what will the consequences be if the ruthless drug dealer rumbles what they’re up to?

“This is a dangerous move for the two teens, as Ray and his mum Celia won’t take kindly to losing a wad of money and two of their best workers,” our Emmerdale insider warns.

“If the teens are caught out, they’ll be made to pay for their betrayal – and that could see terrible consequences for them both.”

Recent weeks have already seen Dylan and April under pressure. Ray is busy using Dylan as his man on the inside at Caleb Miligan’s warehouse, while it seems Celia wants April to provide more than just drugs to some of their clients.

However, an opportunity to escape arrives after a police detective spots Ray in the village with Dylan. Although DS Carter is there to see Kev, she’s intrigued to spot that Ray and the kids clearly know each other.

With Dylan having just executed a big drugs drop, Ray is clutching a bag bursting with cash, so he quickly dumps it over a wall, before striding over to talk to Carter and draw her attention away from the cash.

Meanwhile, a mix-up sees Lewis Barton and Vinny Dingle move the rucksack into Dale View along with some other bags. When Ray realises it’s gone, he orders Dylan to retrieve the bag from the house.

Dylan initially panics when he fails to charm his way in, but is relieved when he later spots an opportunity to nab Vinny’s keys.

April is also under pressure, as Ray tells her she’s got to go and meet a client. April doesn’t want to and hopes to find a way to wriggle out of it, but she soon realises that she has no choice.

“The pair are both under so much pressure,” shares our source. “But they’re both trying to protect each other, so even when Dylan notices April is out of sorts, she covers her worries. They’re both terrified about that the future might hold.”

It seems there’s worse to come after Dylan sneaks into Dale View, but returns empty-handed, leading an irate Ray to threaten and berate him. When April spots Dylan on Main Street, it seems they have both resigned themselves to their fate. But there’s a twist in this tale…

“Dylan has a surprise in store for April – Ray’s bag is packed with cash,” our spy adds. “Showing April the swag, Dylan reveals that it’s enough for them to run away together and escape Ray and Celia’s clutches.

“As the pair plot to flee, a video message from Ray soon reminds them of what they are risking. Will they make the break while they still can?
