Joe and Dawn are united in Emmerdale spoilers

After all the drama of recent weeks – lying, scheming and an ‘accidental’ attempted murder – Joe and Dawn are finally in a better place.

The lovers are looking to the future and exploring new business interests. Joe, who seems to have more money than everyone in the village put together (how?!) suggests to Dawn that they join forces and take over the Home Farm weddings.

There’s already another wedding planner on their doorstep – Take-A-Vow – but that doesn’t faze Joe. He tells Dawn they should set up on their own wedding business at Home Farm and give the rivals a run for their money.

Belle issues a warning to Dawn over Joe

Joe may have grand plans, but Dawn can see the value of going into business with Belle. She pays the Dingle a visit and pitches the idea of them becoming partners.

Belle is tempted by the idea of Dawn investing in Take-A-Vow. But her mood switches when Joe’s name is brought up in conversation. She, like the rest of the locals, doesn’t want anything to do with the man who’s responsible for the deaths of Leyla, Suzy and Amy.

Belle tells Dawn the only way they can work together is if she swears Take-A-Vow will never take money from Joe. This leaves Dawn with a decision to make. But which way will she go?

Dawn is torn over what do, but eventually makes her choice.

She arrives eager for her first day working with Belle, but isn’t totally truthful with her. Has Dawn defied Belle wishes and accepted Joe’s money?
