As Ray pressures Dylan to use the depot for drugs, Emmerdale spoilers show things are about to get much darker

April's about to face her darkest situation yet
Rebecca Sayers

For the past while in Emmerdale, Ray Walters has been terrifyingly manipulating Dylan Penders and April Windsor into dealing drugs for him. And now that Dylan has passed his driving test, he wants to use the depot.

Emmerdale fans struggled to believe that Ray actually had a big boss. So they were quite shocked when it was revealed that Celia is actually the mastermind behind the entire operation. And she isn’t happy with the pace of everything.

As it turns out, Celia found Ray on the streets when he was younger, and raised him. So, as he looks to her as a mother, he would be willing to do whatever she wanted. But later this week, things are set to get even darker for April and Dylan.

Ray wants Dylan to drive the depot trucks

Earlier this week, Paddy was delighted to hear that Dylan had passed his driving test so quickly. But their entire conversation was overheard by Ray, who later congratulated Dylan himself.

In tonight’s episode (October 15), Ray took Dylan out for some food at The Hide. And used the opportunity to once again remind him of another way to pay off his debts quicker.

Ray told Dylan now that he can drive, he can try to get driving shifts at the depot. And if he does that, he can carry more drugs and get around quicker and more efficiently. This in turn means he can pay off his debt even quicker and be free from Celia.

However, Dylan tried to make him see that he didn’t want to wreck his job, as he feared he would be fired. But after some manipulation from Ray, Dylan gave in and agreed to ask about the shifts.

Unfortunately for him and April, Emmerdale spoilers show things take a very dark turn towards the end of this week.

April gets locked in a hotel room with a client

Emmerdale spoilers show that Dylan successfully gets a driving job at the depot, so Ray gives him some drugs to deliver. But things are thrown into chaos when Jai tells him he won’t be the one actually driving but that Billy will be. Instead, Dylan will be observing.

Panicking, Dylan has no idea how to manage to do the drop-off with Billy in the van. But he also knows he can’t let Ray down. So, will he manage to succeed? Or will Celia have another reason to be angry?

While Dylan’s facing his dilemma, April is in a horrific situation of her own. After she backs out of doing a job in Liverpool for Ray, he finds her one closer to home.

Ray brings April to a nearby hotel and hands her a bag of cocaine to please his ‘valuable’ client Tim. And he also encourages April to have a drink with him.

A nervous April gives Tim the coke, but he offers her a drink of vodka. Things escalate even further and poor April finds herself stuck in a hotel room with Tim.

It’s clear he’s after more than just a drink. Is April going to get out of this? Or is she about to face her worst situation yet?

What else happened in Emmerdale tonight?

Zak Dingle was remembered very fondly by two of his kids in Emmerdale tonight, as it was the anniversary of his death.

Elsewhere, Robert continued to ignore calls from Kev while he and Aaron agreed to remember Liv on her anniversary.

So what happened in Emmerdale tonight? Read on for our full recap.

Cain returned home

Following the reveal that he had been arrested, Cain was back at the farm, avoiding Moira's questions. But before long, he admitted that his trip was a waste of time and even John's old army friend didn't know where he was.

He revealed he went to the first pub he saw, and then decided to take a ferry home. But drunk and loud, Cain was mouthing off to police and found himself arrested.

Moira yelled at him, reminding him he has other kids who need him. But he seemed intent on just getting drunk.

But was in self-destruct mode

While he was supposed to meet Belle and Sam at Zak's grave, he didn't show up. And Liam tried to give him some words of wisdom. But unfortunately nothing seemed to work.

After yelling at Aaron for spending time with Robert, Cain headed home.

Kyle was excited to see him, but Cain didn't want to speak to anyone and pushed him away, yelling at him. And even breaking his trophy. Will anyone be able to get through to Cain?

Robert continued to lie to Aaron in Emmerdale tonight

Robert spent the night with Aaron at the flat, ignoring calls from Kev. But when he spotted Liv's old teddy, Aaron told him it's her anniversary tomorrow.

But when he gets home, he realised Kev wants him to visit him tomorrow. What will he find out?

Laurel confessed the truth to Nicola

Through the entire Carl and Clemmie situation, Laurel has tried to be there for Nicola. But she left her best friend shocked tonight when she admitted she was the one who reported the image to the school.

She remained adamant that she didn't know it was Carl who sent it, and that she would have acted differently had she known. But Nicola was intent on moving her and her family out.

Joe made a suggestion to Dawn in Emmerdale tonight

While out for a walk in the village, Jai bumped into Dawn and Joe, showing them the boys group chat. They were shocked to discover that the lads were now sending polls about whether or not Clemmie is 'thirsty'.
