Dawn\u2019s plotting discovered<\/h2>\n

On Tuesday night (May 19) it became clear that Joe knew exactly<\/a> what Dawn was planning. She has spent weeks working alongside Moira and Cain Dingle to siphon money away from Joe and into their account. She was then planning to leave him heartbroken and with his wallet a lot lighter.<\/p>\n

However, this week it\u2019s been clear she\u2019s having doubts. Moira urged her to take what she\u2019s made so far and run with the kids, worried about what the deceit was doing to her and how much longer Cain could keep his thirst for vegeance under control.<\/p>\n

But Dawn refused to go. She cited Billy and how she couldn\u2019t just take his kids away from him. She told Moira she wasn\u2019t leaving, she would do this on her own terms.<\/p>
