Last night’s episode of Emmerdale saw Dawn betray husband Billy by kissing Joe Tate. This came after a busy day for Dawn, who had drugged Kim Tate with ketamine in the hope of making her confess to Will’s murder.

However, Dawn’s plan didn’t work out as planned, and Kim remained steadfast in her innocence. She then suffered a seizure from the overdose, and a panicked Joe called an ambulance.

Thankfully, Kim seemed to make a full recovery, and the pair buried the hatchet in the hospital. Back at Home Farm, Dawn and Joe shared a moment on the sofa – and then a kiss.

With another affair seemingly set to rock the dales, we ask… is any couple safe?

Is any couple safe as Dawn and Joe kiss destroys another Emmerdale couple

Dawn’s betrayal of Billy comes only months after Cain and Ruby appalled a nation by sleeping together. Fans were left horrified by scenes in which Cain cheated on Moira while she lay in hospital.

Neither Moira nor Caleb are aware of Cain and Ruby’s betrayal yet, but it’s surely only a matter of time. Elsewhere, Doctor Liam picked Chas over Ella – only days after rekindling their romance – and Rhona felt betrayed when she learned that Laurel had attempted to kiss Marlon.

Other couples are still going strong – Paddy and Mandy, and Charity and Mack, for example, but given their histories, can we trust history not to repeat? Especially with fans clamouring for Ross and Charity to become a thing.

There’s always the newly loved-up John and Aaron… but with viewers holding out for a Robron reunion, we wouldn’t necessarily expect that one to last either.

Sam and Lydia, then… it’s all on you two.

“Meanwhile over in Emmerdale, we have another scandal! All this soap does is make people cheat,” wrote one viewer.

“And we have more cheating in Emmerdale,” said another.

“Here we go with the joe Dawn affair then,” sighed a third.

Is enough enough?
