Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) has got herself into a right mess in Emmerdale.
The character began an affair with Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) shortly after her dad’s death at Christmas.
At first, sleeping with Joe provided her with a distraction from the grief she was experiencing, and general stress that comes with being a mum to three children.
However, when Dawn started developing genuine feelings for Joe, the situation started to change.
During a conversation with Joe about their night in a hotel, Dawn spoke about the facilities there, and how they could take part in a couples massage.
Seemingly pretending they’re an item made Joe push Dawn away, which left her annoyed.
A few days later though, Dawn met Joe at Dale View, where they spoke about their feelings. As much as they both tried to deny it, Joe and Dawn were falling in love with each other.
The two characters then discussed becoming a proper couple, but Dawn knew Joe’s plan to move to another country simply wouldn’t be possible with her children.
Just as Dawn got excited about something new, it was ripped away from her. She was informed by Kim (Claire King) that Joe had left for Chicago, and wouldn’t be coming back.
In tonight’s episode, while Joe did leave the Dales, he didn’t go to America. He had just completed his illegal kidney transplant with Doctor Crowley (James Hillier), and their deal was to leave once it had been sorted.

During a chat with Kim, Dawn admitted that she can’t help but feel as though she’s found something better in Joe.
While Kim listened to Dawn, she believed that what she was feeling would eventually pass, and her relationship with Billy would get back on track.
Dawn seemed unsure. Is she really prepared to end her marriage with Billy, hoping that Joe might return for her?
