Emmerdale's April Windsor clashes with her dad Marlon Dingle next week, after they have very different plans for her future.

"April's having a blast working at the wedding planning business," our Emmerdale insider explains.
"After everything she's been through, she's finally found a job that she's passionate about and can do right there in the village. Marlon should be happy for his daughter."

What to Read Next
Concerned Marlon sits the troublesome teen down at the kitchen table and spells out that he really thinks she should return to college, as that will offer her the most stability going forward.
But with her dad and worried Rhona pressuring her, April boldly announces that she has other plans for her life, away from college…
"April had a really rough time at school, so she has no interest in going back to college," our source warns.
"Marlon just wants the best for her, and knows that if she doesn't go to college, she won't have the qualifications she needs to get a better job – but that's not what April sees herself doing at all.
"Her dad needs to respect her wishes and let her forge her own path, or he risks losing her again."
