Emmerdale fans have predicted that Dawn Fletcher will discover she is pregnant following her affair with Joe Tate.

Joe Tate returned to Emmerdale over Christmas and it didn’t take long for him to catch Dawn’s eye. She soon left her husband for Joe, leaving Billy devastated.

However, with Dawn’s relationship with Joe now seemingly over, fans believe she’ll find herself pregnant.

Joe’s antics in Emmerdale

Since arriving back in Emmerdale last year, Joe has lied and schemed his way through life. This all came to a head at Lydia’s 50th birthday party last week when his secrets were revealed to everyone.

After discovering the truth about Joe drugging him, Noah turned up at Home Farm alongside the police. As the guests put the pieces of the puzzle together about Joe stealing Caleb’s kidney, Joe remained firm in his denial.

Charity then told everyone that Joe and Dawn had been having an affair. As Dawn attempted to comfort her ex, Billy, he revealed that Joe had shouted at their adoptive daughter Clemmie.

Dawn was furious about this revelation and had words with Joe. Although he eventually admitted to drugging Noah, he continued to deny everything else.

He was pushed from a window before any further confrontations could take place and now finds himself in a coma.

Is Dawn pregnant with Joe’s baby in Emmerdale?

Fans have speculated that with Joe in a coma, Dawn will discover that she is pregnant with his baby.

“Next storyline will be Dawn being pregnant,” one person wrote on a Facebook fan page, with another adding: “I think Dawn did it [pushed Joe] and then she will find out she is pregnant with his child.”

A third fan wrote on X: “If she doesn’t announce she is pregnant by Joe soon I will be shocked!” While a fourth fan said: “Another who’s the daddy storyline pending.”

Could they be right?
