Emmerdale tonight also told Dawn’s awful tale as she recounted her difficult past to Joe. It shared extreme similarities with what April’s going through, but will she get away like Dawn did?

Dawn told Joe her story

Dawn was upset after Joe reacted oddly to her talking about her past. She pulled him up on it tonight and decided to tell him everything that she’d been through.

She told him she had been groomed by Alex when she was young. He got her into drugs and prostitution when she had nowhere else to go and no one else to turn to.

It turned out Joe had reacted badly because it made him angry to think what she’d been through. He told her he now looked at her differently – he was more proud and saw her as more brave than ever before. Gosh, where did Joe Tate’s heart come from all of a sudden?!

Dawn vowed to protect Clemmie no matter what it took as she said some girls just weren’t as lucky. But as we saw April going through the same experiences as Dawn had, will April be so lucky?

Nicola and Laurel pulled together in Emmerdale tonight

Elsewhere, Nicola and Laurel made amends after Nicola admitted she needed some support now she had Carl’s phone back. They opened it together and were shocked by the sort of things that were popping up on it.

As they realised just how clueless they were about the challenges their kids were facing online, it became all-too-clear they had a battle ahead.

But the women vowed to fight it together and keep their children safe. Let’s hope they manage to do it.
