Emmerdale<\/a> spoilers follow.<\/p>\n Emmerdale star Olivia Bromley has spoken exclusively to Digital Spy about her character Dawn Fletcher\u2019s dramatic wedding day<\/a>, ahead of a huge week of episodes for the soap.<\/p>\n Dawn is set to marry her fianc\u00e9 Joe, but she is secretly planning a great escape with Billy and the kids, with the help of vengeful Caleb<\/a>. But will they get away, or will Joe discover the truth? It\u2019s been a very big 12 months for Dawn, and as a result Olivia Bromley is nominated for Best Actress at the Inside Soap Awards 2026<\/a> for her performances throughout the year.<\/p>\n ITV<\/p>\n We got to chat to Olivia about what\u2019s to come while she took part in an Inside Soap<\/a> photoshoot celebrating Emmerdale\u2019s nominations. You can see all the stunning pictures in this week\u2019s issue of the magazine, which is out now.<\/p>\n You can watch our full behind-the-scenes video at the top of the page, then read below for our exclusive DS Q&A with Olivia\u2026 Hi, Olivia! How does it feel to be up for Best Actress at the awards this year?<\/p>\n “To be nominated for Best Actress is such an amazing thing, and such a lovely privilege. I\u2019m just really, really pleased and excited.”<\/p>\n What has it been like playing out this almost love triangle for Dawn with Joe and Billy?<\/p>\n “Oh, well, the endless love triangle\u2026 it\u2019s been fun, actually. I think there\u2019s a lot of nuance to the story. Obviously Dawn and Billy have been together for years and years, and then Joe Tate\u2019s come in and caused chaos, as he does, and caused Dawn\u2019s life to completely upend. But it\u2019s been really interesting for me to play those dynamics.<\/p>\n “Why does she go back to Joe, despite everything that he\u2019s done? Why is she able to let go of this stable, loving relationship that has been built over years and years? Even me as an actor, I\u2019ve worked with Jay [Kontzle, who plays Billy] for years, so it\u2019s been really interesting. And also, the three of us have had loads of fun.”<\/p>\n What can you tease about how this wedding week will unfold<\/a> for Dawn?<\/p>\n “It\u2019s gonna be a crazy week for her! It\u2019s not going to be a smooth-sailing wedding, it never is. Her first wedding was a disaster, she was kidnapped and hung over a viaduct \u2013 and this wedding is potentially even worse!”<\/p>\n ITV<\/p>\n Did you like Dawn\u2019s wedding dress this time around?<\/p>\n “Well, I mean we were limited, because in the story Dawn is seven months pregnant. And also, I\u2019m not giving too much away, but there\u2019s a lot of action that happens. So this had to be a very practical wedding dress situation, but it was lovely.”<\/p>\n Where do you think Dawn\u2019s heart truly lies, with Joe or with Billy?<\/p>\n “I think, despite what everybody is telling her, despite what I would advise her, despite what the audience are screaming out for, she just wants to go back to Joe. She can\u2019t help it!”<\/p>\n Why should fans vote for all things Emmerdale at the Inside Soap Awards this year?<\/p>\n “I think it\u2019s been a really exciting year for Emmerdale. We\u2019ve got some very exciting stuff coming up towards the end of this year. It\u2019s just the best soap. I\u2019m biased, but there we go!”<\/p>\n See a full Inside Soap<\/a> interview with Olivia alongside co-star Ned Porteous in the new issue of the magazine out now, containing exclusive new photos of six cast members.
