Emmerdale fans see the tables turn on Dawn Fletcher tonight as her fiancé Joe Tate and his loyal right-hand man Graham Foster secretly plot against her.
As Dawn doubles down on her plans to scam money out of Joe, she’s unaware that he’s already rumbled her ongoing deception.
Tuesday’s scenes see Dawn wrestle with her conscience as she glimpses Joe’s caring side.
When Joe makes the effort to welcome Dawn’s ex-partner Billy back into the family, and also treats Dawn to a thoughtful gift, she reluctantly concedes that he isn’t all bad.
Dawn confides in Moira Dingle about how she’s questioning all of her plans. Moira suggests that Dawn might be better off fleeing with the kids sooner rather than later, but after giving it more thought, Dawn vows to win their battle and take Joe for every penny that he has.
Sadly, it seems that Dawn hasn’t counted on just how closely Joe and Graham are keeping an eye on her. Not much gets past them – and it seems that her secret visits to Moira at Wishing Well Cottage haven’t gone unnoticed.
In a private moment at Home Farm, Graham tells Joe: “Very convincing. I had no idea Dawn was such an accomplished liar. She doesn’t have a clue we know what she’s planning behind our backs.”
But while Joe seems prepared to bide his time and see how things play out, Graham fears that he’s taking the wrong approach and causing himself more heartbreak.
“You can’t keep doing this to yourself,” Graham adds. “Don’t wait too long. We can’t let this go on any further. We need to deal with Dawn – put a stop to her and Moira’s little game, for good…”
Scenes airing later this week see Dawn left unconscious at the bottom of the stairs at Home Farm.
Graham is first to spot Dawn in a bad way, then notices Joe lurking suspiciously at the top of the staircase. Has Joe taken his advice too literally? And will Dawn pay the ultimate price for her desperate scheming?
