Emmerdale’s Joe Tate makes shocking return with Dawn plan

Emmerdale‘s Joe Tate lays his heart on the line next week as he begs Dawn Fletcher to dump her husband Billy for him.

Joe urges Dawn to end all the lies and secrecy so they can become an official couple, leaving her torn over whether she can forgive him or not.

Dawn was horrified last month as Joe made an abrupt departure from the village without bothering to give her any explanation.

Viewers know that Joe was reluctant to leave Dawn behind, but he needed to make a clean break to avoid being caught out for stealing Caleb Miligan’s kidney.

In upcoming scenes, Joe takes a major risk by returning to the village to win Dawn back.

Joe confides in Kim Tate about his intentions, insisting that he genuinely loves Dawn and plans to make amends with her.

Kim is uneasy over the implications for Dawn’s marriage and her children, knowing that this can’t end well for anyone.

Joe later urges Dawn to be honest with herself, claiming that it’s obvious she’s still in love with him. Dawn knows that Joe is right, but she still isn’t sure what to do for the best.

Promising a genuine relationship with no need for further lies or secrecy, Joe encourages Dawn to leave Billy once and for all.

As Dawn wonders what to do, she deliberately avoids Billy and mulls over her decision. She also confides in Manpreet Sharma, still unaware that the local GP is the mystery woman who was exchanging racy messages with Billy recently.

In the end, the moment of truth arrives for Dawn as she meets with Joe to share her decision. Will she make his dreams come true – or break his heart?
