Emmerdale’s Joe and Dawn finally caught out as big week begins

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale has revealed a first look at the moment that Joe Tate and Dawn Fletcher are finally caught out.

The secret lovers slip up next week as they share a kiss at Home Farm – unaware that Clemmie Reed can see everything.

Joe and Dawn’s big mistake sets up a huge week of Emmerdale episodes, which culminate in a gripping new whodunit mystery.

As we revealed earlier this week, Clemmie’s discovery is just the start of some high drama ahead at Home Farm.

Although Joe initially issues a shocking threat to Clemmie to secure her silence, the schoolgirl soon defies him by confiding in Billy about what she saw.

Jay Kontzle, who plays Billy, recently told us: “A kiss can be taken in so many different ways that it could’ve been a mistake, it could have been a friendly kiss, or it could be something that does break up a marriage.

“But at that point, it’s not as significant as someone threatening a child.

“That’s not something you’d just roll over on, you’d have to say something, you’d have to follow it through. You’d have to go and have a word at some point and set Joe straight really! It’s your child – regardless of the situation it’s not acceptable at all.”

He added: “What Joe Tate has done is completely wrong, so do you fight fire with fire or see the logical approach and think of the kids?

“The fact that Joe’s obviously threatened a child and gone behind his back and pretended to be mates with him, it’s a bit disrespectful. It feels like there should be some sort of repercussion from it.”

Emmerdale bosses have confirmed that next week’s episodes see Joe’s enemies gather at Home Farm to celebrate Lydia Dingle’s birthday. With tensions at fever pitch, events spiral out of control as someone takes their revenge… could it be Billy?

Emmerdale airs Clemmie’s discovery on Monday 5 May on ITV1 and ITVX.

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
