In Emmerdale, Dawn has been cheating on husband Billy with Joe Tate – but fans have been baffled by Billy’s absence. And, we have too.
Whilst Dawn might’ve forgotten that her husband exists, fans haven’t been so quick to forget and have wondered just where he is amid Dawn and Joe’s affair storyline.
Billy’s been mentioned a fair bit recently, but we haven’t actually seen him that much in the aftermath of Will Taylor’s death at Christmas. So, where is he?
Joe and Dawn’s affair in Emmerdale
Since Will Taylor’s death, Joe and Dawn got rather close to each other and started a secret affair behind Billy’s back.
Poor Billy has put family first, being there for Dawn through little Evan’s cancer journey, as well as caring for Clemmie and Lucas. And, it seems like he’s doing most of the work…
Billy must be so busy because we’ve barely seen him in the last two months, and Dawn has used this to her advantage by spending more time with Joe instead.
So far, Joe and Dawn have managed to sneak around without raising much suspicion. They’ve been so good at it that Kim even enlisted Dawn herself to keep an eye on Joe and see whether he was up to anything dodgy. If only she knew…
But, now fans have been left baffled over a really key character’s absence throughout this whole storyline. And, they have a really valid point.
Fans wonder where Billy Fletcher is in Emmerdale
Poor Billy has no clue about Joe and Dawn’s affair, and that’s because he never seems to be around these days.
Fans have now taken to social media to question just where Dawn’s hubby is considering the whole point of the storyline is that Dawn is cheating on HIM.
One fan took to X and commented: “Where’s Billy in Emmerdale?”
Another person shared: “Dawn has zero pride, the desperate [bleep]. Where is Billy??”
A third fan pointed out: “Billy visits home once every 3 weeks lately.”
But, is Billy at work? Is he too busy looking after the kids to notice Dawn and Joe’s flirtation? Will we ever see him again?
