ITV Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ Ray’s son’s real identity in DNA twist

Emmerdale is bracing for more drama as the character Ray makes his entrance into the village, immediately causing a stir among the locals.

Details about Ray are scarce, but it’s known that he shares a murky past with Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) and is likely to interact with the village’s younger inhabitants.

Ray presents himself as a farm machinery salesman, but his illicit drug dealing activities soon come to light. This spells trouble for Mackenzie, who has recently started a cannabis farm in Moira Dingle’s (Natalie J Robb) barn.

However, some soap fans speculate that Ray might be the biological father of Dylan Penders, portrayed by Fred Kettle.

Last year saw April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) endure a traumatic period living on the streets after running away from home, reports Belfast Live.

Following a police raid on her hideout, April managed to escape but was found in severe pain, giving birth alone in a public toilet cubicle.

During this time, she befriended troubled teenager Dylan, who tried to protect April throughout her ordeal until she eventually returned home.

Dylan later came to the village seeking to overcome his drug addiction and was last seen in March, heading to a rehab centre funded by Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock).

After an overdose on drugs planted by Marlon left him hospitalised, a guilt-ridden Marlon felt compelled to assist the young man.

Speculation is rife among Emmerdale enthusiasts, with many theorising that newcomer Ray might be connected to Dylan, possibly even being his father.

If this theory holds water, it raises questions about how Ray would react to Marlon’s role in the teenager’s overdose.

The show’s official X account sparked the conversation, asking: “Ray will soon be entering the village! But what will he be getting up to? ..”

One fan chimed in, saying: “I heard the rumour he was gonna be involved in a County Lanes story ft April, Dylan etc #Emmerdale”.

Another viewer shared their hopes for the Mack storyline, including a potential connection between Ray and Dylan: “Things I want from the Mack storyline: Him and Charity to divorce. More of his and Moira’s childhood. An Actual overlook of what he’s like behind the bravado. Also, I want Ray to be Dylan’s (April’s friend) dad because Fred looks like a young Joe Absolom #Emmerdale.”

The return of Dylan was also noted by a fan, who exclaimed: “I notice they’re bringing Dylan back!!”.

Another viewer speculated: “I’m think this new character Ray is connected to drugs so maybe him to bring him in to the show. Not sure if it’s true but I’ve heard there may be a county lines type storyline coming up, possibly April’s friend Dylan coming back too if that could all be connected. #Emmerdale”.
