Emmerdale Dylan's secret 'exposed' as spoiler reveals what he's hiding from April
It seems returning character Dylan Penders is hiding something on Emmerdale, with him initially acting weirdly around April Windsor.
With the pals reunited this week, it's not long before romance is thought to blossom. But Dylan is covering up more than one thing it seems, with actor Fred Kettle reprising the role after months off screen.
First of all he's initially hiding his return to the village, hiding in bushes and being discreet. Not very discreet though given his involvement in the break-in at Moira Dingle's farm, which has left Dylan badly injured.
His guilt remains under wraps for now, with Dylan and someone else wearing masks before being caught in one of the barns. Ahead of his motive being explained, Dylan will keep this from April before she realises all about his injury.
But there's something else, much bigger, that he's keeping secret. Scenes this week give away that Dylan is caught up in new villain Ray's criminal ways.
Ray is also back in the village this week, and spoilers have revealed he's keen to track down the teen. In episodes this week, Dylan will be seen hiding from Ray, and when he spots him in the village he flees.
April has no idea what's going on, with Dylan keeping her in the dark about Ray and whatever it is they're up to. He does drop hints during Tuesday's episode about his "job" and a man he is working for, but keeps the full truth out of it.
So when she and Dylan are meant to be meeting for a date later in the week, Dylan ditches things to hide away from Ray. So will he be forced to come clean?
Secrets continue next week, when Dylan continues to act suspiciously. He's caught out by Paddy Kirk though who realises the troubled teen needs help.
That said, Dylan continues to hide from Ray and ignores his messages. When Ray eventually tracks him down he has a job for him, but Dylan rejects this not wanting to get involved.
Ray acts like he's cool with it, only to be shown spying on Dylan and April later on. So does April know what's going on at this point, and how long can Dylan keep it all hidden?
What exactly is going on with Ray? Given Dylan will be shown with drugs in his bag it's safe to assume this is tied in with the work he does for Ray, after Ray was revealed to be a dealer and selling drugs weeks ago.
So for now Dylan is hiding his link to Ray, with no one aware they are linked. He's also hiding some criminal activity, and the fact he works for Ray - but surely it won't be long before the truth comes out.

The Downton Abbey-style love story between a maid and valet that ended in tragedy: Photos, letters and mementos reveal 'below stairs' romance in shadow of WWI
As a relationship that defied convention, the romance between valet John Bates and maid Ann Smith in Downton Abbey warmed the hearts of millions of viewers. The love story was, of course, all the invention of the hit ITV show's creator, Julian Fellowes. But now, a trove of photos, letters and mementos shed light on a real-life romance between servants in the shadow of the First World War. Valet Alf Edwards and kitchen maid Caroline Palmer married in 1916 after meeting when both were on the staff at the palatial Brodsworth Hall in South Yorkshire. The couple had three happy years and two sons together, before Palmer died from tuberculosis, leaving Caroline a widow for nearly 50 years. The objects telling the story of their relationship have been donated to English Heritage by the couple's grandson. They include Alf and Caroline's war registration cards, their marriage certificate and several photographs. With hundreds employed at the Brodsworth, it would not have been a surprise had Alf and Caroline never gotten to know each other. But, in the course of indulging his passion for photography, Alf had taken to using a staff kitchen as a makeshift studio to dry his images, and it was there that he and Caroline crossed paths. Being of fighting age, Alf would ordinarily have followed most of the men employed at Brodsworth into being conscripted in the war. But because of his poor health, he remained working at the estate, which was the home of Charles Thellusson and his wife Constance Alf and Caroline began courting and then quickly became engaged. They did briefly separate after Caroline was advised against marriage due to Alf's poor health. But the couple could not stay apart for long. They reunited and got married on July 17, 1916. The pair then took a honeymoon and had professional photographs taken in a studio in Chichester. The couple later lived in a cottage on the Brodsowrth estate, and Alf took on the additional role of chauffeur. But their happiness was cut short when Alf's precarious health took a terminal turn. He died aged just 34 in September 1919. Alf's death came just months after his boss had passed away. The day after Alf died, Thellusson's widow expressed her condolences in a letter to Caroline. She also tried to comfort her and shared her own grief. Caroline, aged just 30, was left with their two sons, who were only two and five months old. The widow lived until 1968, when she died not long before her 79th birthday. By then, she had two grandsons. The registration cards that have been donated to English Heritage list Alf's and Caroline's respective job titles and Brodsworth Hall as their place of work. Alf was a keen craftsman, as evidenced by the carved wooden picture frame he made for Caroline. Housing a photo of her, it also boasts a 'good luck' message and has a horseshoe affixed to it. Alf also made a small wooden stool using oak felled on the estate. The stool features a carving by the valet of the hall and is dated 1915. Alf's camera was made by legendary New York firm Eastman Kodak (now better known simply as Kodak). It is believed he bought the camera during a trip he took with the Thellussons to the east coast of the USA in 1914. The valet used it to take many photos of Brodsworth staff, as well as images of the hall's interior and gardens. Also given to English Heritage is Caroline's gold wristwatch, which can be seen in her wedding photograph. For the rest of her life, Caroline kept a photo of Alf in shooting attire on display. It features in a silver frame. Both frame and photo have been donated too. The couple's romance was not the only one between staff at Brodsworth. At the start of 1916, cook Martha Lockey had married chauffeur George Raper. Brodsworth Hall was built between 1861 and 1863 for Charles Sabine Thellusson, on the estate his great-grandfather had bought in the late 18th century. It was given to English Heritage in 1990, when it had fallen into disrepair. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the building being open to the public. As part of the anniversary celebrations, objects linking to the official opening by Princess Margaret will be displayed. Caroline and Alf's grandson, Gordon Edwards, said: 'My family has cared for these significant items reflecting our family history and the history of Brodsworth for many years, and it has always been a fascinating record for us to look back on. 'We're so pleased to be able to donate these objects to English Heritage so they can continue to be cared for, shared with the public, and help to tell the important stories of those people below stairs who lived and worked at Brodsworth Hall.' Eleanor Matthews, English Heritage's curator of collections and interiors, said: 'It is extremely rare to have such a collection relating to the lives of servants survive, and to have them return to Brodsworth Hall over 100 years later is truly astounding. 'Alf's photographs are incredibly important to the history of the site and have provided us with the earliest image of staff at the estate – hopefully in time we will be able identify them all. 'We've learned too that Alf and Caroline were very well liked by the Thellussons, with Charles appearing as Godfather on their first son's baptism card, and his wife Constance's correspondence with Caroline after Alf's death. 'These beautiful, poignant items tell a story largely unknown to us until now and, thanks to this donation, we are able to add another layer of understanding to the rich fabric of Brodsworth's history.'

Catherine Zeta-Jones details her and husband Michael Douglas' surprisingly low-key UK staycations to Butlins and Legoland with their two kids - despite their £260million net worth
Catherine Zeta-Jones has detailed her surprisingly low-key family staycations with her husband Michael Douglas and their two kids. The Wednesday star, 55, and the American actor, 80, have been married since 2000 and share two children - Dylan, 24, and Carys, 21. The couple have raised their children amid the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, but also enjoy some very low-key family moments away from the spotlight. Catherine has revealed she and Michael have taken their kids on UK staycations to Butlin's and Legoland - despite their £250million ($360million) combined net worth. She told Radio Times of her kids: 'They've been to Butlin's, Legoland, seen the sights in London, up to Scotland, over to Ireland. They've even been to the Isle of Man, I think.' Catherine added that she insists her children spend two weeks in her native Wales every year to spend time with her parents - David James Jones and Patricia Fair. However, Dylan and Carys have also enjoyed some bucket list trips abroad over the years including to India, Patagonia, Africa and Cambodia, among others. Catherine said she always wanted to be a mother and sweetly described it as one of her biggest achievements. 'Having children is one of the most amazing joys of my life,' she gushed, before reflecting on how motherhood changed her perspective on the world. 'All of a sudden, I saw doom and gloom everywhere,' she quipped. 'My husband would be throwing them up in the air and I'd be thinking, ''We have ceiling fans! They'll be decapitated!'' 'I started to see the worst-case scenarios everywhere. But I think that's just getting older and thinking ''Ooh, what if?''' Catherine added that having children brought home the amount of work her parents put in raising her and her two brothers David and Lyndon in Swansea. 'My mother brought up three kids. She had no help. My brother was judo, my other brother was swimming, I was dancing,' she explained. 'I was part of the amateur dramatics, the Dylan Thomas Theatre, I'm sure there was gymnastics thrown in there at some point… 'Just taking us to all of that, as a parent you think, ''Oh my gosh,'' whereas as a kid you're p****d off that she was five minutes late in picking you up that one time.' Catherine and Michael are both household names in Hollywood and their two lookalike children look set to follow in their showbiz footsteps. Carys recently finished her degree in Film and International Relations from Brown University in Rhode Island and is also a skilled piano player. Carys' has four acting credits so far listed on IMDB, with her work including her taking on directorial roles in short films Shell and August. Her latest film, another short called F*ck That Guy, headed to the PROOF Film Festival in Los Angeles and saw Spike Lee serve as an executive producer. Her brother Dylan is also in the spotlight and hosts Young American - 'Gen Z powered political talk show' - with Dylan Douglas. Catherine has previously opened up about how both her children are determined to get into acting - despite a candid warning from their father. Read Catherine's full interview in Radio Times, out now She said on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2021: 'Their love of the craft of acting is so strong that even when their brains are doing politics and history in school, their passion is acting. 'And they've never done anything professional, but they would like to go into acting.' Acting certainly runs in the family as Michael is also the son of legendary actor Kirk Douglas and actress Diana Dill, though he warned Carys about always being known as 'the daughter of...' in Hollywood. Catherine and Michael have been in a relationship since 1998 after meeting for the first time at the Deauville Film Festival in 1996. They tied the knot in 2000 and celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary in November of last year.

Patrick Kielty's TV future confirmed after Cat Deeley split as bosses issue statement
Patrick Kielty's RTE bosses have confirmed the star's future on the channel after his surprise split from wife of 13 years, Cat Deeley. Patrick Kielty's television career remains on track despite his recent split from Cat Deeley, with Irish broadcaster RTE providing an update after the couple's unexpected announcement. RTE has confirmed that despite personal difficulties, Patrick will be back at the helm of The Late Late Show when it returns in September. It comes following the surprising news that Patrick and his wife Cat Deeley are separating after 13 years married. The pair, who live in London with their two young sons, James, eight, and Milo, five, have been based there while Patrick travelled back and forth to RTE for his presenting commitments. An RTE spokesperson has confirmed the comedian's continued involvement with the show, saying: "RTÉ looks forward to Patrick returning to the Late Late Show in September." According to the Mirror, Patrick had previously revealed a three-season agreement with the national broadcaster. The dad of two has also made it clear that he will personally handle all travel and accommodation costs related to his work on the programme. Patrick, who is set to receive €250,000 per season, further noted that he would get €20,000 for pre-show work and rehearsals. Prior to taking over as host of the Late Late Show, he expressed: "I'm pleased to finally be able to share that I've signed a three-season deal to host The Late Late Show beginning this September. "I'm being paid €250,000 per 30-show season. If additional shows are requested by RTÉ, they'll be paid on a pro-rata basis. "I'm also receiving a one-off payment of €20,000 to cover the pre-production and rehearsals from now to September. The contract allows me to submit flight and accommodation expenses, but I've waived this. "I've made it clear to RTE that I will be covering my own flights and accommodation costs. I've also asked RTÉ to carbon offset my flights. I genuinely hope this helps clarify things going forward. I can't wait to get started." The update on Patrick's career moves comes following his separation from Cat, with the couple issuing a joint statement. It said: "We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved." They emphasised their commitment to their children and requested privacy, noting, "We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment." Details regarding when the split occurred remain unclear, though the couple had been living apart due to work commitments. Patrick was tied up with a significant contract in Ireland, while Cat was needed in London for her role on This Morning. Cat last mentioned Patrick on her Instagram in October 2023, following their final public appearance together the previous month.
