April In Emmerdale

[Ann]

What a great little actress "April" is - but do you think she really understands what she is asked to say? It's a bit disturbing as she is so young in real life .... I wonder if it affects her at home, all this storyline about death.

[Ann]

Wonder how old she is?

[silliemillie]

I think she's a great little actress, put some of the adults to shame! She's supposed to be 5 but don't know what she is in real life.

[grumpy01]

She is Ann.Which is more than can be said for that prat who plays Marlon and annoyinly overacts 1,000%.

[grumpy01]

She is actually 5 millie.

We`ve commented many times about her acting . She`s amazing.

[Ann]

Her lovely little face shows exactly the right expressions at the right time, sadness, worry, surprise, defiance, she doesn't even look as if she is acting, that is what worries me ......... does she understand about dying in real life I wonder?

Agree with Marlon overacting, it's cringeing to watch .............

[ivor4781]

agree about the girl and grumpy's comment on MARLON, give him a story line and by god he milks it !!

[Robinia]

She's five in real life, she's so sweet. I hope the writers don't turn her into a nasty little madam as they so often do in soaps.

[elliemay1]

She is an amazing actress for 5 years old. I wonder does she have an acting background. I agree, Marlon is awful!

From Digital Spy...Marlon/Mark Charnock also praised his new on-screen daughter Amelia Flanagan, who is playing the role of April.

"The audience are going to melt," he said. "They're just all going to fall for her - she's wonderful. She's 5 and she's amazing on the lines. You'll be doing a line run with her before a scene and she's mouthing your lines to you. If you make a mistake she'll go, 'Oh, no!'"

I've often wondered the same thing about children acting in harrowing scenes.

[silliemillie]

Yes Zebo, they normally send the child to " tidy their room" before any shouting scenes.

I agree, she is amazing, also agree about Marlon, the facial expressions when he is "angry" are just laughable.
