April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) is in for a dangerous time this week on Emmerdale as she is kidnapped by boxing promoter Jade.
As the week continues, Jade begins to paint a grim picture for Ross as to what he will face if he doesn’t come up with the 10 grand that she claims has been stolen, despite him protesting it wasn’t him.
With his family’s safety on the line, Ross tries to convince Charity to take Moses away to protect him, and a frustrated April remains oblivious to Jade’s sinister plans.

After she grows annoyed with Marlon (Mark Charnock), April accepts a lift from Jade.
But things take a turn for the worse as a video call from Jade reveals to Ross that she has kidnapped April, and the clock is ticking for Ross.
Soon, he is haunted by flashbacks to Donna’s (Verity Rushworth) death when he realises he is headed to a place connected to his past.
In a new interview with RadioTimes.com and other press, actor Mike Parr admits that the realisation to where Ross is headed is “hugely traumatic for him”.
“It brings back the worst memories,” he explained. “Seeing somebody die, especially the first girl who has ever loved you and your first experience, it’s quite a traumatic event for him.
“Obviously, when there’s a kid on the line, Ross has a great connection with her due to her being Donna’s daughter. So, yeah, it’s very stressful for him.”
Many will remember Donna’s tragic end back in 2014, after she was hiding a terminal illness from her family.
But she made the ultimate sacrifice when she jumped off of a car park while handcuffed to villain Gary North (Fergus O’Donnell) to save Ross and April, all as Ross watched on.
