Two Emmerdale exes share a surprise kiss – and it will lead to serious consequences

Oh, awkward! (Picture: ITV) They say you lose ’em the way you got ‘em and Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) is playing right into that trope in Emmerdale. Her wedding to Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) is right around the corner, but so is her big exit, and we might be starting to see exactly how it happens. Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) has started seeing Dawn’s ex Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle), and it’s ignited an unexpected fire in Dawn. She has worked hard to try and encourage the couple to keep their relationship secret, but now it’s out in the open, Dawn is struggling to keep her true feelings under wraps. Gabby is already suspicious and has said as much to Joe, but so far, neither have had seen much evidence to believe it. The thing is, Dawn got the ick with Joe when she learned what he’d done to Moira (Natalie J Robb) by setting her up to go to prison. Even though she seemed to fall back in love with him, there was no coming back from that. The fact she’s carrying his baby is just an added complication. Dawn’s jealousy started growing when she learnt that Billy is dating Gabby (Picture: ITV) Ask Metro Use AI to go deeper into the stories you care about – powered by Metro and trusted publications. Gabby, on the other hand, is loving her new relationship status. Having suffered some soul-crushing rejections of late, having Billy on side has been a real ego boost. Gabby is posting all about her new-found health obsession on social media when she comes over dizzy and faints. Dawn finds her unconscious in the kitchen and urges her to go and see a doctor. Gabby does as she’s told, but Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker) doesn’t pick up on the signs of her disordered eating, instead thinks it might be a pregnancy. When they establish it’s not, Manpreet commends her for her healthy lifestyle. This prompts a huge decision for Gabby – she’s going to stop pouring chemicals into her body, which includes her birth control pill. How much has Joe seen? (Picture: ITV) When Dawn gets wind of this, she spirals and does something unhinged – she tells Billy about Gabby’s decision. A wholly inappropriate discussion, and Gabby is fuming when she finds out. Dawn’s behaviour gets Joe wondering if Gabby is right, perhaps Dawn is harbouring feelings for Billy. Dawn finds a detention slip in Lucas’ pocket, which is the perfect excuse to spend some time with Billy. They easily fall back into their team roles of mum and dad, and as they enjoy each other’s company, Dawn gives in to her feelings and leans in.
