Anew Emmerdale fan theory has predicted that April Windsor‘s friend Dylan is the secret son of Joe Tate. April met Dylan as she was sleeping rough on the streets of Leeds. He stepped in and rescued her from a local predator as she sought a bed for the night – bringing her back to his shelter where would live for the next month.
When we last saw Dylan, the police had nabbed him during a raid on their lodgings. April fled into the street, where she went into labour and ultimately suffered a stillbirth.
With the character already proving popular among fans, many have hoped he might return to the soap sometime soon. And one fan has come up with a theory which might bring him back full time.
Is Dylan somehow related to Joe?
Dylan is Joe Tate’s secret son, Emmerdale fan predicts
Writing on X, one viewer put forth their theory for Dylan’s ‘true’ identity – suggesting he might have something to do with Joe and his mysterious phone calls and painkiller addiction.
“What if Dylan ( the boy from tonight’s April episode) is Joe Tate’s dealer or his secret son? We know Joe is taking pills at the moment but where is he getting them from? This could be a good way to bring Dylan onto the show,” this fan wrote.
Whether or not Dylan might have ties to Joe, others are hoping to see him return to Emmerdale.
Bring Dylan on full time, fans beg
“Please bring the young lad in to the show who looked after April,” wrote one fan in a comment on Instagram.
“100% agree. What a belting actor he is. He’d be a great addition to the show,” said another.
“Shouldn’t April go to thank him and offer him assistance? Yes,” a third said, asking and answering their own question.
Would you like to see Dylan become a full-time addition to the Emmerdale cast?
