Olivia Bromley ‘set to leave’ Emmerdale as Dawn Taylor

It has been reported that Emmerdale bosses have decided to ‘axe’ Olivia Bromley’s character of Dawn Taylor after eight years on our screens. Viewers first met Dawn in 2018, with the character going on to be involved in some huge storylines. Of course, her most recent was her affair with dodgy Joe Tate.

However, this year will be the character’s last in the Dales. The soap is now writing her out.

A source told The Sun: “Olivia is adored by everyone at Emmerdale so the decision to axe her has not gone down well at all.

“She’s a popular member of the cast and if they can get rid of Olivia then the feeling is virtually no-one is safe.

“Olivia understood their decision and is preparing to film her exit in the coming months.”

Dawn’s exit date explored

According to these reports, Olivia will be filming her final scenes as Dawn ‘in the coming months.’

With Emmerdale filming 6-8 weeks ahead of episodes airing on screen, this means that viewers can expect to say goodbye to Dawn from summer onwards.

The soap has kept quiet about Dawn’s exit storyline. It’s unclear whether the character will head off into the sunset with her family or be given a brutal ending to her journey in the village.

But, either way, Dawn’s departure will leave a big hole in the soap for fans and cast who love the character dearly.
