Billy’s fate ‘confirmed’ in Emmerdale as Joe is questioned

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) was left for dead on the floor of the depot in Emmerdale. But who did it? Who would want Billy, who would barely hurt a fly, lying in a pool of his own blood? The timing is certainly interesting – it happened right after Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) allegedly just missed witnessing Billy and Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) almost share a kiss. He’s been suspicious for a while that something was going on between them given Dawn’s raging jealousy at Billy’s relationship with Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham), but would Joe do this? Caleb Miligan (William Ash) knew all about the moment and when Joe confronted him about his illegal car parts business, Caleb hit him where it hurts by revealing what he saw between Billy and Dawn. How much does he remember?

Joe immediately vowed revenge, just as Dawn left Billy a voicemail. What should happen next? Billy is found bludgeoned on the floor. Kerry (Laura Norton) and Jai (Chris Bisson) made the discovery at the depot, and Jai leapt into action to call an ambulance. Kerry jumped into a different kind of action – hiding the counterfeit goods. Priorities. Billy’s loved ones were told that he had suffered a brain bleed. The detective investigating the incident then arrived and didn’t hesitate to tell everyone that he believes Billy was the victim of an attack. Fingers immediately point at Joe (Picture: ITV) Caleb made a great deal of effort to tell the copper that Joe had motive having just discovered Billy and Dawn’s kiss. At the hospital, Joe tried to convince his partner that he’s an innocent man, but it seemed as though he was lying when the detective arrived and arrested him for GBH. In scenes that will air soon, Billy’s life remains in serious danger. In the police station, Joe is questioned after spending the night in a cell. If Billy doesn’t wake up, will DS Byrne charge Joe with manslaughter or murder? Even though the troublesome Tate says he didn’t do anything? Billy made a move that ultimately changed everything for him (Picture: ITV) Meanwhile, Gabby discovers that Dawn and Billy kissed. If Billy wakes up, the only thing we know for certain is that it’s crystal clear he no longer wants to be with Gabby. What will happen if Billy wakes up and confirms that Joe definitely did attack him? How will that impact Dawn’s upcoming departure from the show?
