A new Emmerdale fan theory has predicted that Dawn Fletcher will fall pregnant with Joe Tate’s baby and their affair will be revealed to all.
Joe arrived back in Emmerdale over Christmas and it wasn’t long before he caught the eye of Dawn, who is married to Billy Fletcher.
But as we know, affairs don’t stay secret for long in soap land and one fan theory has predicted that this one will come out when Dawn gets pregnant.

Dawn and Joe in Emmerdale
After Joe Tate moved into Home Farm, it was inevitable that something would happen between him and Dawn. The pair bickered, but the chemistry was plain to see.
Last month, they finally gave in to temptation and shared a kiss. Kim Tate then informed Dawn that Joe would be her new boss.
Dawn accused Joe of engineering the situation on purpose so he could get closer to her. Once again, the tension between the pair boiled over – but this time they went all the way and slept together.
Their affair is set to be discovered by Charity Dingle this week. While she agrees to keep it a secret, it’s surely just a matter of time before the affair is exposed.

Fan theory predicts Dawn will fall pregnant with Joe’s baby
Taking to X, one fan has a theory about how the affair will be revealed. They wrote: “I said it the first time Dawn slept with Joe – she will probably end up getting pregnant and now they have done it a few more times, it must be anytime soon that the cat is out of the bag.”
A second fan agreed, adding: “Joe & Dawn have got chemistry and she will get pregnant obviously.” While a third fan said: “Since Dawn is cheating, I wonder if she’ll get pregnant?”
On Facebook, fans had the same idea, with one writing: “So when will Dawn find out she’s pregnant then?”

Marlon and Rhona were finally reunited with missing April Windsor in Emmerdale tonight. Arriving at the hospital to find her being rushed into surgery, Marlon was shocked to learn that his daughter had been pregnant when she disappeared – and suffered a stillbirth.
Meanwhile, as he continued to manipulate Noah, Joe flirted with Gabby and hooked up with Dawn again.
And, as she continued to struggle with her loneliness, Leyla struck on a bright idea. Elsewhere, Bob learned about April, and guilty parties tried to bottle up their feelings.
Here’s everything that happened on Emmerdale tonight, Wednesday, February 5.

Marlon was reunited with April in Emmerdale tonight
Following the news that April had been found, PC Swirling rushed Rhona and Marlon to the hospital. They learned in no short order that April had been admitted to Obstetrics, having suffered a post-partum hemorrhage – she’d just given birth, and the baby was stillborn.
A doctor filled them in on what had happened, telling them that April had been found on a park bench after giving birth in a local gym. She’d been hemorrhaging for a while and required a blood transfusion.
Marlon and Rhona watched in horror as she was rushed into the operating room for another DNC (dilation and curettage to those not in the know – which doesn’t include Rhona, as she rudely snapped at one of the doctors).
The operation was a success, and April stabilised. Marlon was desperate to see his daughter, but the doctors stressed the importance of giving her time.
Walking into her room to find April recovering in bed, Marlon finally reunited with his daughter. “We don’t have to talk just yet,” he told his daughter, as he refused to stop talking.

Dawn grew jealous as Joe flirted with Gabby
At Home Farm, Kim listened in to Joe’s recent Siri searches (the temperature in Dubai, advice on a good peanut butter and jam bagel). She was interrupted by Gabby, who had also been thinking about hunky Joe. As Kim attempted to warn her off, in strolled Dawn and then Sam (the Home Farm drawing room is busier than Euston Station this morning!) who informed her that one of the horses wasn’t feeling too hot.
Meanwhile, taking note that Gabby had eyes for Joe, Dawn took keen interest. Is that a hint of jealousy we detect?
Joe continued to make Dawn jealous by flirting with Gabby throughout the day. As he and Dawn swapped barbs on the stairs, it wasn’t long before the pair ended up in each other’s arms.
Meanwhile, at the Dingles’, it was clear that Gabby was having second thoughts about her man. Settling down for dinner with Vinny, Sam, Lydia and Mandy, the chaotic, farty scene was a far cry from glamourous Home Farm with suave Joe.
Back at Home Farm, Dawn immediately had regrets over cheating on Billy again… before they leaned in for another kiss and headed to bed for round two.

Charity stewed as Noah planned his next move
In The Woolpack, Noah despaired as he continued to lose customers. Joe’s poison pen letters have been having the desired effect, and Noah’s business is suffering.
“People can be vindictive,” said Joe as he consoled his half-brother. Singing the praises of an electrician’s salary in Dubai, Joe continued to lay the seeds for his big plan. Listening in, Charity was alarmed.
She was having none of Noah’s move to Dubai – and her attempt to deter her son only seemed to have the opposite effect.
Later, as Joe and Dawn slunk off to bed together, Charity snuck into Home Farm. But what will she find?

Leyla’s bright idea
In the shop, Pollard shamed Leyla for buying a frozen lasagna for one. As she lied about her date with Suzy, Pollard began to twig that she’s feeling more lonely than she’s letting on.
At work, Leyla floated the idea of Valentine’s prize draw with Suzy and Belle. Said prize? A luxury limousine ride…
Also on Emmerdale tonight…
John worried for Aaron’s mental well-being as he beat seven shades out of a steak. He tried to encourage him to open up, but stubborn Aaron was having none of it for now. Is Aaron bottling up something terrible?
Meanwhile, Ruby told Caleb that she was headed out for a spot of late-night shopping. He was worried about her well-being, but she too is determined to put on a brave front.
Elsewhere, Mary told Leo that he needed to apologise for his behaviour at school. Sending him off to grab some crisps as Bob arrived, she informed him of April’s situation.

In Emmerdale spoilers, Joe Tate continues to smooth-talk Dawn, even as he lies about his painkiller addiction to a suspicious Kim. Joe has been struggling with pills since his return to the village – and the truth was uncovered by Dawn, who found him, semi-conscious in his car.
When she confronted him, Joe claimed that he had the problem in hand, and would be quitting. And, as the pair struggle to keep their hands off each other, Joe spins another lie to Kim. Kim had grown suspicious of Joe’s tales after overhearing him discussing the side-effects of his addiction and poor health. Will she believe his stories?
Meanwhile, Charity sneaks onto Home Farm for an investigation of her own… but will she learn the truth about Joe?

Joe continues to cover for his painkiller addiction in Emmerdale spoilers
Joe continues to ingratiate himself with Dawn by demonstrating his withdrawal from the painkillers. With Dawn seemingly impressed, Joe feels encouraged that he’s making good progress in their relationship.
Just then, a moment between the pair is interrupted by Kim. She’s quick to notice that he’s grown close to Dawn. In an attempt to allay Kim’s suspicions, he spins her a story about the painkillers – which she seemingly believes.
But is Joe hiding something else from them both?

Ever since Joe Tate made his Emmerdale return, fans have been shocked at just how much Kim trusts him. But it seems she has finally opened her eyes.
Last night’s episode (January 23) saw Charity’s words get through to Kim when she warned her about Joe. Up until now, Kim has been grateful for Joe’s presence and has even put him back in the business.
One person who never forgave Joe is Charity. And so, after she gave Kim some advice – the old Home Farm icon came back. And Kim bugged Joe’s room.

Joe Tate has a secret in Emmerdale
We know Joe has been hiding something ever since he returned. Last night he was forced to confess to Dawn what was going on.
After she found him unconscious in his car, he told her that he needed painkillers to deal with headaches he gets as a result of the head injury Cain gave him years ago.
Dawn tried to make him see that he was addicted to the drugs. So in true Joe fashion, he threatened to tell Billy that they had slept together. But is that really what’s wrong with him?
But now, as Kim has bugged his room, it seems we may get our answers sometime soon. And she may find out about him and Dawn. However, fans are just glad to have the old Kim back – it’s about time!

Fans hail Queen Kim’s return
For a while, we began to worry that Kim truly had gone too soft. But slowly, over the last few months, we have seen the return of the Home Farm queen.
And as fans expressed on social media, they couldn’t be happier. Especially if it means Billy finds out about Dawn and Joe…
One wrote: “I knew Queen Kim wasn’t stupid! Can’t wait to see what she is going to do next. Scrounger Dawn’s time is up!”
Another added: “Go Kim. I knew she wasn’t daft.”
A third penned: “OMG is Kim going to find out about Joe and Dawn already? And does this mean we will know what’s really wrong with Joe??”
So exactly what will Kim find? And how would she react if she realises Joe has been keeping a secret? Fans have already pointed out that his death may have been foreshadowed..
With half the village out to get him, someone finds Anthony dead in Emmerdale spoilers tonight (Thursday, January 23). Anthony has had a rollercoaster of a week, first being bashed over the head by Laurel during a confrontation with Nicola, then threatened with a gun by Caleb. And, as he managed to wriggle free of one Dingle retribution, he was cornered ‘for a chat’ by Aaron.
It’s a long list of suspects – but who really killed Anthony?
Elsewhere, Dawn finds Joe Tate unconscious in his car. And, as her betrayal begins to eat her up inside, Dawn prepares to confess to Billy about her infidelity.
And, with Anthony still missing, Nicola’s visit to A& E raises suspicions.
Read our Emmerdale spoilers tonight in full below.

4. Nicola raises suspicions in Emmerdale spoilers tonight
In last night’s episode of Emmerdale Joe and Dawn took things up a notch and shared yet another kiss. And it looked like they weren’t planning on stopping.
But as another potential affair looks set to hit the village, in our opinion it’s time Dawn leaves Billy behind and focuses on something new. Because let’s face it, they were getting a bit boring.
While the Joe and Dawn plot may have been a predictable call from fans early on, it’s not really a surprise that it happened. And we know exactly who we would choose if we were Dawn.

Joe vs Billy
When Dawn first arrived in the village she brought a lot more than she does now. Since marrying Billy, it seems both their characters have taken different paths. And while at the start they worked together, we’re not quite sure they do anymore.
It could be very easy to just sweep it under the rug and continue playing happy families for the sake of their kids. But they haven’t been happy in a while.
Billy would be Dawn’s safe option. Her husband. The father of her kids. But would that be enough to keep her happy? The pair have been at odds with each other quite a lot recently.
From Billy’s secret fight club with Ross, to him not wanting to move back into Home Farm, it just hasn’t seemed like the characters work anymore. And a lot of fans have called for them to break up already.
As for Joe, he is most certainly the unpredictable and exciting route for Dawn. He has only been back in the show for one month and already has made such an impact for us viewers.
When news first dropped that he was returning, Emmerdale fans went wild as it’s something they’ve been asking for since his exit. And in a short time he has already made Dawn seem like there’s still that old character we used to love inside. So could he bring it out further?

Emmerdale: Could Joe make Dawn more exciting?
Obviously if Dawn gets herself attached to Joe, there is the mystery of what’s actually going on with him. He seems to be hiding a secret illness. So could he be lining her up to have her heart broken?
While Joe brings danger, he also brings excitement. And we do know he is good with kids (he used to be basically a step-dad to Sarah) – even though he doesn’t seem like the family man.
And honestly, when Billy finds out (it’s inevitable in soaps) this could even help his character get out of his repetitive funk.
The best course of action for Dawn is to truly sit and think if she’s happy with Billy, because we don’t think she is. And perhaps Joe is the one who could bring out her fun side once again.

We know a gunshot is heard and we know Anthony will die, but is Caleb the one responsible?

Fans of Emmerdale were thrown into a frenzy today as the name of fan-favourite Meena Jutla was invoked during the episode, sparking hopes she’d return. Murderous Meena was one of the soap’s most popular villains in her time, killing Liam’s teenage daughter and holding her own sister hostage, among other iconic crimes.
Manpreet brought up her name again tonight – and fans are hoping she might return to, ahem, ‘take out’ a few other members of the cast.
This came as Wendy’s recent gossip continued to make headlines. After unwittingly sharing details of her unsavoury past, the journalist from the Hotten Courier had forced her to dish the dirt on Rhona and Ella too, while she was at it.
Wendy came clean tonight (Thursday, January 16), and told an appalled Liam how she’d leaked details of Ella’s past.

“Never trust a journalist,” (charming) chided a disappointed Liam, as they attempted to dig her out of the hole.
As she came clean to Liam, Wendy was forced to tell Manpreet, Bob and Ella what she’d been up to. Wendy’s confession left Manpreet suitably disgusted. It was then that she brought up a certain blast from the past so that everyone would understand the gravity of the situation.
“See, I thought, after Meena, things couldn’t get any worse,” a disgusted Manpreet said, “but this could destroy us.”
Fans have long wanted to see Meena back (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale fans demand the return of Meena Jutla
This stray line from Manpreet was all viewers needed to get back down the rabbit hole of Meena Jutla fandom – assembling a hit list in anticipation.
“The mere mention of Meena is making me want them to bring her back and take half this lot out!! Writers must know half of this is pure dross. Ruby’s story deserves better than this,” wrote one fan.
“Need Meena back to get rid of dawn and a few other annoying people,” said another.
“Meena, come back and kill off Dismal. I’m begging you,” said a third.
“Love a little Meena mention,” wrote another, more innocently.
Fans have long hoped for the return of Meena to Emmerdale. And, with Dawn currently infuriating fans by poisoning Kim Tate and betraying Billy by snogging Joe, viewers would love to see her return to her murderous ways. Sorry Dawn.
