The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn\u2019t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rhona Goskirk<\/a> (Zoe Henry) thought she would try to get through to evil\u00a0Celia Daniels<\/a>\u00a0(Jaye Griffiths<\/a>) in Friday\u2019s\u00a0Emmerdale<\/a>\u00a0episode, but her intervention backfired spectacularly. It did, however, give us a bit of an insight into Celia\u2019s early life that hinted at tragedy in her past.\u00a0<\/p>\n Since April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) revealed to her family that she\u2019d been caught up in\u00a0Celia and Ray (Joe Absolom)\u2019s drug dealing operation<\/a>, her parents Marlon (Mark Charnock) and Rhona have desperately tried to think of ways to end the nightmare. <\/p>\n An attempt to flee the village with the family was foiled by Ray, who menacingly told them that he had eyes and ears on them at all times.\u00a0<\/p>\n To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web Marlon and Rhona hoped that they could pay off the debt that Ray reckons April owes him \u2013 the sum of\u00a0\u00a320k. <\/p>\n They scraped the money together with the help of a pay day loan with ridiculous interest rates, but when they gave it to Ray he took he money and informed them that nothing had changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n There was better news for them when they heard that Dylan (Fred Kettle) is going to survive the injuries he got when\u00a0Ray deliberately ran him over\u00a0<\/a>as a warning. In fact he\u2019s doing so well that the doctors plan to wake him soon from his induced coma.\u00a0<\/p>\n This news has also found its way back to Celia.\u00a0<\/p>\n In the Woolpack in this episode, Rhona saw Celia and made a desperate offer to do the drug-dealing jobs\u00a0instead of April<\/a>. Celia appeared to consider this for a few moments before deciding that Rhona would\u00a0\u2018pee her pants at the first sign of trouble.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Angrily, Rhona asked her how she slept at night, and Celia\u2019s answer was chilling.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t \u2018I don\u2019t,\u2019\u00a0she said.\u00a0\u2018And neither will April.\u2019\u00a0She went on to say that everything that was happening to April had also happened to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2018I even had my own Dylan,\u2019\u00a0she said, and there was perhaps a ghost of a smile at the memory before she shut it down by saying he was\u00a0\u2018long gone now.\u2019\u00a0Could that have been a turning point in Celia\u2019s life, the point at which she started to turn from being a victim into the\u00a0hard, apparently emotionless, villain<\/a>\u00a0she is now?\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2018Look how I turned out,\u2019\u00a0she said.\u00a0\u2018Always better to be the hammer than the anvil!\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n She then turned her attention to the fact that Dylan is waking up \u2013 and issued a threat:\u00a0\u2019Wherever April goes,\u00a0men\u2019s bodies just litter the pavement. Don\u2019t let Dylan\u2019s be the next one.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tCan’t wait for the next twist?\t\t\t<\/p>\n Hi, I\u2019m Maisie Spackman, a Soaps reporter at Metro.

Celia informed her she\u2019d\u00a0\u2018overplayed her hand.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n With a feeling of dread, Rhona went back to Marlon and told him that she\u2019d just made everything worse and was now terrified that Celia would kill Dylan. The couple agreed that someone will have to be with Dylan every minute of the day to make sure he\u2019s safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n Will it be enough?\u00a0<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow
