‘Fresh start’ for Joe and Dawn after wedding horror in Emmerdale – but is it too good to be true?

How long will it last? (Picture: ITV) An explosion in the wedding marquee left Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) convinced that partner Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) had died in yesterday’s Emmerdale. Things descended into chaos earlier this week when Dawn decided to leave the village with Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) and their children. At the time, Dawn believed that Joe was the person who attacked Billy and put him in hospital, and vowed to leave the violent man. The mistake Billy made was not telling Dawn the truth about who knocked him out. Desperate to get his happy ending with Dawn, Billy kept quiet as they drove out of Emmerdale. Earlier that day though, Dawn had endured a showdown with Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough), who questioned how Billy knew that Joe attacked him, if the hit happened from behind. This was ultimately what stopped Dawn from running away with Billy. She confronted him at the side of the road, and eventually discovered that Joe was – for once – totally innocent.

Stood in her wedding dress in the marquee, Dawn was hoping for another chance – but disaster struck. Jimmy King (Nick Miles) crashed his car right through the tent, knocking him, Dawn and Joe all unconscious. Jimmy died as a result of his injuries and, for a while, it looked like Joe was going to die as well. The marquee exploded with Joe inside, but today’s episode of the ITV soap allowed us to discover that he – miraculously – survived.
