Emmerdale's Dawn exit may trigger shock reunion with Billy

Dawn Taylor's jealousy is set to boil over in Emmerdale, potentially derailing her wedding to Joe Tate and sparking a reunion with ex-husband Billy Fletcher. Actress Olivia Bromley is leaving the ITV soap, and the storyline may culminate in Dawn and Billy leaving the village together.

Dawn's jealousy erupts

Dawn (Olivia Bromley) and Billy's (Jay Kontzle) marriage collapsed after Dawn had an affair with Joe Tate (Ned Porteous). She chose Joe over Billy, the father of her three children. While Dawn and Joe have built a new life, Billy has remained single—until now. This week, Billy began flirting with Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham), who lives with Dawn.

Though Dawn claims she has moved on, seeing Billy with someone else proves difficult. In upcoming scenes, Dawn's worry about her children's reaction leads her to ask Gabby and Billy to delay telling Clemmie, Lucas, and Evan about their relationship. Gabby is irritated but later hopeful when Billy supports her against Laurel's unhealthy menu at The Hide.

Clemmie catches them kissing

Young Clemmie sees Gabby and Billy kiss and asks Dawn what is happening. Clemmie seems accepting, but Dawn struggles visibly. As Dawn's jealousy grows, it affects her relationship with Joe. Gabby suggests Dawn still has feelings for Billy, making Joe question their future. With Dawn and Joe's wedding approaching, her wandering eyes could spell disaster.

Exit storyline twist

Olivia Bromley's departure suggests the Tate wedding will end in chaos. For a while, it seemed Dawn might leave alone. However, with her feelings for Billy resurfacing, a reunion and joint exit are possible. There is no indication Jay Kontzle is leaving, but such information could be hidden for a twist.

According to Metro, the storyline leaves fans wondering: will Billy and Dawn get a happy ending?
