Emmerdale fans are convinced that they have worked out the identity of Ray Walter’s long-lost mother
Emmerdale viewers believe they’ve uncovered Ray Walters’ long-lost mum in a huge DNA twist.
Drug dealer Ray (Joe Absolom) made his first appearance in the Dales earlier this year when Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) contacted him about buying Lewis Barton’s (Bradley Riches) cannabis crop.
Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) then secretly stole the drugs and sold them to Ray, using the proceeds to buy his grandmother Annie’s (Sheila Mercier) field.
It was later disclosed that Ray had ties with Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle), after he persuaded the youngster to break into Butler’s Farm to survey the property.
However, the scheme went disastrously wrong when a terrified Kyle Winchester (Huey Quinn) stabbed Dylan in the leg with a pitchfork, reports the Daily Star.
On Monday night (1 September), Ray coerced Dylan into undertaking a perilous job, with April stepping forward to take on the task instead.
Upon her arrival at the car park for the drug drop, a hooded man demanded she hand over the bag before brandishing a knife.
Dylan comforted a shaken April, who was compelled to give the drugs to the stranger, before it was unveiled that Ray had masterminded the entire encounter.
Numerous Emmerdale viewers now suspect that Ray might be set for an emotional reunion with a long-lost relative in forthcoming episodes, with widespread speculation suggesting Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) could be his mother.
The theory emerged following Celia’s recent heart-to-heart with Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb), during which she revealed her estrangement from her grown-up son.
“[I have] a son whom I barely get to see, which is appropriate. He’s a grown man with his own life; he shouldn’t have to worry about me,” she confided.
“My husband died a few years ago… They say it’s supposed to get easier with time. [The pain] dims a little, then pops up when you least expect it.”
Discussing the possibility of Ray being Celia’s offspring, one viewer posted on a Facebook fan page: “Wasn’t it Ray who got Dylan to break into the farm when he got stabbed with that fork. Celia was working for Kim, maybe she asked Ray (her son maybe) to arrange it?”
Another commented: “Yesss they must be related,” whilst a third remarked: “Ooo I could totally see this being revealed.”
