Will this \u2018sell yer soul to the devil\u2019 character writing ever end, or has she become an absolute airhead?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>  Emmerdale fans criticise &#8216;useless&#8217; writing for Dawn Fletcher<\/p>\n<p>\n  A few people in the replies to the post seemed to agree with the sentiments, as one commented: &#8220;Dawn is useless she definitely\u00a0needs to go also she is a snooze&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Another shared: &#8220;Dawn once upon a time had so much potential and now it&#8217;s zero.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  One expressed frustration with the Dawn-Joe storyline, saying: &#8220;I don\u2019t understand Dawn and Joe. Joe strikes me as someone who wants to carry on the Tate legacy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;How can he do that when he\u2019s with a woman who wasn\u2019t even sure she wanted a 3rd child with her husband?\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;Meanwhile, Dawn can see that Joe is an absolute t***\u00a0of a human being but still chose him over Billy.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Discussing a potential direction they&#8217;d like to see Dawn&#8217;s character progress in, another wrote: &#8220;I think Dawn needs a guy like Ross to compliment her. They could end up being an awesome ship in my opinion.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;Joe comes out as bisexual and him, and Dawn become besties up to no good.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Emmerdale\/comments\/1n1cupf\/dawnjoe_and_billy\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit post<\/a> on the forum, other viewers shared how they had become frustrated with the story surrounding these three characters.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Recommended reading:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  One wrote: &#8220;I have to some extent lost interest in Dawn since she left Billy for Joe. Although Billy is bland, he is loyal and caring.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;Given that Joe revealing Will&#8217;s abandoned plans to deceive Kim triggered his heart attack, it is especially absurd for Dawn to fall for Joe for all people.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Another joked: &#8220;I&#8217;m just so bored of them both, but especially Dawn. Can&#8217;t John do us all a solid and kill them off before he leaves.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"These opinions were expressed about Dawn Fletcher, who has been involved with the programme since April 2018.
