Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) has continued to accuse Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) of murder in Emmerdale.
Viewers of the ITV soap saw her become suspicious of the returnee in last week’s episodes following the death of her father Will Taylor (Dean Andrews).
The character suffered severe chest pains and collapsed to the floor, just moments after Joe informed Kim Tate (Claire King) about Will’s scheme to take her down.
Kim smirked as Will dragged the Christmas tree down, believing he was suffering a panic attack – but the incident was far more serious.
Since being declared dead, she’s struggled to cope with her emotions, whilst Dawn has tried to keep herself busy.
Her husband Billy (Jay Kontzle) had suspicions about Joe’s return, and asked Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) to give him a rundown on who he was, and whether or not they should be suspicious of him sniffing around Home Farm!
Arriving home, he spilled to Dawn about Joe’s shady past and how it was unusual that Kim was on good terms with him again.
They both agreed that something didn’t sit right with the situation. Why was he present when Will passed away? Did Joe killed him?
In last night’s episode, Kim continued to be in disbelief about being a widow again, and asked Dawn to take the funeral planning slowly so that they could grieve.
Dawn explained that without hearing the coroner’s verdict, she wouldn’t be able to settle. The mention of a post mortem rattled Joe, and it didn’t go unnoticed by her.
She approached Kim with her suspicions, and was surprised when her step-mother leapt to Joe’s defence.
Later, Joe promised Kim that he would speak to Dawn and his reassurance would be enough to force her to back off.
However, after they sat down together, it became clear that Dawn wanted nothing to do with him and continued to suspect that he is her dad’s killer.
