SHOCKING TWIST!!! Emmerdale fans left stunned by twist with ‘vile’ Celia
Mic. Drop. Moment. Last night, Emmerdale viewers learned that shady Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) is but a mere player in the drug running operation he’s trapped April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) and Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) in, while the real Empress is none other than Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths)…who’s also his adoptive mum!
Emmerdale fans saw drug dealer Ray emerge when Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) contacted him regarding Lewis Barton’s (Bradley Riches) enormous stash of marijuana plants.
Hoping to make a sale and use the cash to save Moira Dingle’s (Natalie J Robb) farm, they were ultimately usurped by Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), who sold the stash and pocketed the proceeds.
Later, Dylan returned to the village following a stint in rehab and reunited with April, whom he’d lived rough alongside. It became quickly apparent, though, that Dylan was well and truly under Ray’s control, when he was ordered to do over Moira’s farm in order to confirm that there were no more drugs.
