It\u2019s been a complicated week in Emmerdale as we review everything that\u2019s gone one. Things have been looking bleak for Matty in prison, Dawn is struggling to cope with Evan\u2019s illness, and Lydia made an awful realisation.<\/p>

But there has been one unexpected moment of fun in among all the misery.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s been going on.<\/p>\n

Dawn and Billy\u2019s anguish<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s been tough seeing Dawn and Billy coping with baby Evan\u2019s leukaemia diagnosis. This week things got even trickier for the pair when Billy broke the protective \u2018bubble\u2019 at Home Farm and the little lad ended up back in hospital with a temperature.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not been easy for Dawn and Billy \u2013 and it\u2019s not easy for us viewers either! In fact, this whole storyline feels like a slog. Dawn\u2019s a devoted mum, doing her best, but she\u2019s being a bit, well, annoying. Surely it\u2019s unrealistic to expect a whole family to put their lives on hold for what could be years? Kim can\u2019t run weddings at Home Farm, putting a big dent in their income. Billy can\u2019t do his personal training, even Clemmie and Lucas are being half-heartedly home-schooled, by people who don\u2019t know what a fronted adverbial is or how to calculate 10 per cent of something.<\/p>
