Emmerdale revisits Dawn and Billy Fletcher’s feelings for each other next week, but Dawn is soon left terrified that her fianc\u00e9 Joe Tate has seen them kissing. Having spent the past couple of weeks in emotional turmoil over Billy’s new romance with Gabby Thomas<\/a>, Dawn can’t help herself when they are thrown back into close proximity.<\/p>\n

“Dawn’s world could fall apart if Joe has seen her kissing Billy,” warns our Emmerdale insider. “This is a Tate and one with an almighty ego, so there’s no way that Joe would let it go if he did see.<\/p>\n

“He’s also sinister enough to bide his time before taking revenge, so Dawn is a woman on the edge right now.”<\/p>\n

To make matters even more complicated, Dawn meddles in Billy’s new romance next week. Dawn finds Gabby unconscious in Home Farm’s kitchen and insists she gets checked at the surgery.<\/p>\n

Manpreet Sharma initially wonders if Gabby is pregnant, but a test proves she’s not. However, Gabby admits to Dawn that she’s no longer taking her birth control tablets. Instead of keeping Gabby’s confidence, Dawn goes straight to Billy.<\/p>\n

“It’s not Dawn’s place to do this, but she’s seriously rattled at the idea that Gabby could be pregnant by Billy,” shares our insider. “Of course, Gabby is furious with Dawn for breaking her confidence and accuses her of wanting Billy back.<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t matter how much Dawn tries to deny it \u2013 she’s touched a nerve, and Joe immediately sussed that Gabby is right.”<\/p>\n

Amidst all this drama, Dawn goes to Billy when she finds a school detention letter that Lucas hadn’t told them about.<\/p>\n
