know what to do. April forgives Carly and said she wants her as a new mother figure to her. At the end of June 2017, Carly heroically ran into a burning house and dragged an unconscious Ronnie Hale (John McArdle) out, with the help of Rakesh Kotecha (Pasha Bocarie). Marlon and Carly spent the night together on what would've been Billy's birthday. After sleeping together, things became awkward between Marlon and Carly, even more so when April told Carly she wants her to adopt her. Whilst out looking for his missing cousin Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), Marlon fell and injured his groin, so Carly carried him home. Whilst nursing his injury with a frozen lasagna, Marlon told Carly they should be friends and she should resume looking after April. Carly admitted that she wanted more as she was in love with Marlon. After a second night together, Bob learned of Marlon and Carly's relationship, and disapproved, although soon came round with a bit of encouragement from Brenda. In July 2021, after the death of Leanna Cavanagh (Mimi Slinger), April is inspired to create a social media account dedicated to helping those who have lost someone. Whilst April initially receives praise, she is later trolled when a malicious account about Donna is made and April's phone number is circulated online. When she tells Marlon, he makes her delete social media, however she later secretly reinstalls them. In September 2021, April feels betrayed when Bob's daughter Cathy Hope (Gabrielle Downling), who she had been confiding in, reveals that she caused all the hate. April then tells Rhona who goes on a rampage to Bob, Brenda and Cathy, resulting in Rhona being arrested for assaulting Brenda, which upsets April even more. April and Cathy eventually settle their differences. In March 2022, Marlon has a stroke shortly after getting engaged to Rhona. It is April who finds Marlon and she calls an ambulance. She fears that Marlon will die, but he is cleared to return home. Whilst helping her father have a drink of water, Marlon starts choking and April fears that she could harm her father. Marlon and Rhona assure her that that is not the case. Marlon and Rhona get married in August, just as April turns thirteen.
