Emmerdale fans can expect an action-packed set of episodes next week, as Joe Tate prepares to tie the knot with Dawn Fletcher \u2013 or so he thinks.<\/p>\n

Unsuspecting Joe has no idea that his bride-to-be plans to jilt him and run away with old flame Billy, but Dawn is about to face an impossible dilemma that has life-changing consequences. To say things don’t go to plan is an understatement, as tragedy soon strikes the big day\u2026<\/p>\n

Believing Joe was responsible for the attack that put Billy in a coma, Dawn has pledged herself to her ex and has agreed to flee the village with him and their kids so they can have a fresh start.<\/p>\n

The only snag is that Joe didn’t actually carry out the assault \u2013 Billy’s just letting Dawn think he did so she’ll have reason to hate her fianc\u00e9! <\/p>\n

By this point, Kev has now confessed<\/a> to the accidental assault \u2013 which occurred when he was trying to foil a robbery at the depot \u2013 and Billy is struggling to maintain his deception.<\/p>\n

Joe, however, has no idea the lengths his love rival has gone to in order to steal Dawn back, and is preparing for what should be the happiest day of his life\u2026<\/p>\n

On the morning of the nuptials, Graham can’t shake his suspicion that something is afoot. Despite his concerns, he reassures Joe the ceremony will go without a hitch. But waiting in the wings is Billy, who is desperate to get away \u2013 preferably before Dawn finds out the truth about his attack.<\/p>\n

With the clock ticking, jittery Dawn carefully plots her escape. But with the excited Tate clan convinced she and Joe are finally getting their happy ending, the guilty bride is struggling with her decision. <\/p>\n

The reality of leaving stepmum Kim, who has treated Dawn and the children like her own, becomes overwhelming. Dawn has a wobble, and Billy has to calm her down. As she takes a few deep breaths and thanks her secret lover for being so trustworthy, Billy’s conscience is pricked \u2013 how long can he maintain his lie?<\/p>\n

Desperate to get Kim out of the way so she can execute her exit strategy, Dawn engineers a risky way to despatch her from Home Farm. But just when it looks as if the cunning couple might just pull it off, little Lucas accidentally lets slip to Graham what his mum and Billy are up to. With thunderous intent, Graham sets off to confront Dawn \u2013 can he stop her doing a runner?<\/p>\n

Up at Home Farm stables, Dawn is making a clandestine phone call to Billy to finalise the details of their dash. As furious Graham appears, freaked-out Dawn is frozen to the spot\u2026<\/p>\n

The showdown escalates as Graham berates Dawn for wrecking Joe’s life. When Dawn explains she can’t forgive her intended for nearly killing Billy, Graham questions whether she’s got the whole story about what went down at the depot. Specifically, how could Billy know who did it when he was attacked from behind? <\/p>\n

Tormented by the seed of doubt that’s been planted, Dawn incapacitates Graham by whacking him with a shovel and tying him up, before scooting off \u2013 but which fella is she running to? <\/p>\n

Dawn’s decision is merely the tip of the iceberg in terms of the drama ahead, as her big day descends into total disaster.<\/p>\n

Spoiler pictures show onlookers appearing visibly shaken as catastrophe engulfs the community, but who will be left standing?<\/p>\n
