Following Emma's accusations, Marlon has questions he wants answered but gets more than he bargained for when she opens up about her own child.
Speaking about the storyline, Gemma told Digital Spy: "At first when Marlon suggests that Carly is hurting April, she's very shocked and can't quite believe that he would have so little trust in her.
"She's angry and disgusted that Marlon thinks she could do such a thing."
While Marlon is satisfied that Carly is innocent, Emma remains unconvinced and reported her to social services and a social worker arrives later to question her about April.

She doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for her
It is at that point that the truth about her past comes to light as Carly reveals her son Billy died of Sudden Unexplained Infant Death.
Gemma added: "She doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for her. So she's still got that hard exterior, but hopefully it will open doors for her to be more affectionate, more emotional and she'll realise that talking about a problem makes it easier to deal with."
While she swears Marlon to secrecy, viewers will be left wondering how long it will be until her father Bob finds out?
Emmerdale continues tonight on ITV at 7pm.
