This article contains spoilers for tonight’s Emmerdale, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on ITVX.
Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) finally made her choice in tonight’s episode, and it is set to cause chaos.
For several months, Dawn has been torn between husband Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) and lover Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), and this evening things finally became too much for her.
When Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) found her crying in the pavilion, she brought her home for a cup of tea and a listening ear.
As Dawn explained that she felt bad for not being happy, despite having Billy and the kids in her life.
Manpreet then asked her when the last time she’d done something just for her was, and when Dawn couldn’t answer, the doctor encouraged her to do something selfish for once.
It was this advice that led Dawn to make her choice, and she soon met up with Joe in secret.
After Joe reassured her that he wasn’t going to change his mind about being with her, Dawn kissed him, before later revealing that she planned to end things with Billy the next day.
Unfortunately, Dawn and Joe’s relationship is already built on lies, with Joe having failed to tell her about his kidney failure.
Joe recently underwent an illegal transplant, after stealing Caleb Miligan’s (William Ash) organ and claiming that it was lost as a result of a stab wound.
In tonight’s episode, Dawn finally got to see Joe’s bandages, but he brushed off her concerns by claiming that he’d slipped in the shower and had to have stitches.
