There’s drama for Dawn and Billy in Emmerdale spoilers

It really hasn’t been the easiest year for Billy and Dawn. The Fletchers were dealt the cruelest of blows when baby son Evan was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the start of 2024. The tot has been undergoing treatment since, which has been hard on the whole family.

Dawn’s estranged mum, Rose also reentered her life. After a difficult reunion, Dawn slowly began to rebuild her relationship with the woman who’d walked out when she was a toddler. But what Dawn didn’t realise at the time was that Rose was working with Ruby to destroy Will and Kim’s lives.

When the truth did emerge, Dawn also discovered Will and Kim had paid Rose to leave the village then covered it up. Dawn forgave her mum for what she’d done, but couldn’t get past Will’s lies. She disowned her dad and declared she wanted nothing more to do with him.

Dawn, Billy and Evan then packed their bags and moved out of Home Farm. Having left the comforts of the country manor, the trio relocated to Holdgate, where they’re now paying landlord Jai an eye-watering monthly rent to live in his pad.

You’d think money would be in short supply, but Billy seems to have laid his hands on some. Now unless he’s suddenly upped his charge for PT sessions, something shifty is definitely going on.

Billy is rumbled

Dawn is surprised when she comes across a wad of crisp notes hidden in the house and decides to confront Billy. Dawn demands to know where he got that sum of money from and why he kept it from her.

But instead of telling Dawn the truth, Billy makes out it’s money he was saving towards a surprise for her. Yeah right!

Dawn falls for Billy’s fib. She feels bad for doubting her husband, and forgives him.

Billy makes a secret phone call

As Dawn heads back upstairs, Billy pulls his phone out to make a secret call.

Speaking in hushed tones so his wife can’t hear, Billy asks the person on the other end for more work. That sounds very dodgy to us.

So what exactly is Billy up to? Who is paying him? And why is he hiding it from Dawn?
