    Classic Emmerdale: What happened to Dawn’s son TJ – and why now is the perfect time for a return

    In recent Classic Emmerdale scenes, Dawn Woods died following an explosion. But what happened to her son, TJ Woods?

    Along with most of the village, Dawn went to the show home opening at the King’s River development. However, Sadie’s sabotage caused the house to explode.

    Dawn was pulled from the wreckage, but later died from her injuries. Her son TJ with Terry Woods was just a toddler at the time, but where is he now?

    TJ’s birth in Emmerdale

    Terry Junior is the son of Dawn and Terry Woods. He was born in October 2003. Dawn had contracted German measles while pregnant, so there was concern that TJ could be deaf, but they soon received news that this wasn’t the case.

    While wetting TJ’s head, Terry suffered a stroke and collapsed. Once he was allowed home from hospital, Dawn struggled to look after both him and the baby.

    Dawn soon begun an affair with her stepbrother Scott, but once Terry discovered this he chucked Dawn out. A nasty custody battle over TJ then ensued.

    Dawn wanted to take TJ to see her mum Jean in Spain and she warned Terry he would never see his son again. Terry called the police on Dawn to stop her leaving with their son. However, eventually, Dawn was awarded sole custody.

    What happened to TJ in Emmerdale?

    TJ was two and a half when his mum Dawn was killed in the explosion. Dawn’s mum Jean accepted compensation from the King family and attempted to take TJ to Morocco.

    Terry brought TJ back to the Dales, but the youngster struggled without his mum. He later contracted E-Coli, but luckily there was no lasting damage.

    When TJ was 7, he became an orphan after Terry was killed in a fire. Dawn’s dad Bob Hope decided the best thing for TJ would be for him to join Jean in Morocco.

    Viv had also died in the fire, leaving Bob to raise Cathy and Heath alone. Raising TJ too would have been too much for him.

    Bob and Brenda took TJ to the airport. The following year, 2012, Brenda went to visit TJ, but not much has been heard of him since.

    Why now is a good time for TJ to return?

    TJ’s main links in Emmerdale are his grandfather Bob and auntie Cathy. Bob has been struggling recently due to it being the anniversary of his son Heath’s death.

    Upcoming scenes will see Bob put on a brave face as Heath’s headstone is due to be erected. Bob and Cathy comfort each other as they reminisce about Heath.

    A visit from grandson TJ could be just the medicine for Bob. TJ will be 21 now – Emmerdale has a chance to build a new character, in much the same way as they did with Joe Tate (who previously left as a child and returned as an adult.)

    Bob also suffered a setback romantically recently when Wendy left the village. Could ex-wife Jean return with TJ and reignite things with her ex-husband?

    Dawn Woods in Emmerdale: Marriage to Terry, romance with Scott and tragic death

    Dawn Woods shocked her father Bob when she arrived in Emmerdale in 2003 and announced she was engaged to the much older Terry.

    She stayed in the village for three years before meeting a tragic end in 2006. With her final weeks currently playing out on Classic Emmerdale, we take a look at Dawn’s time in the Dales.

    Dawn’s marriage to Terry

    Dawn arrived in Emmerdale as the fiancée of Terry Woods after they had met on holiday in Spain. It was then revealed that she was the daughter of Bob Hope. Bob had left her, her mum Jean and brother Jamie when she was just 4 years old.

    Despite’s Bob’s reservations over the 27-year age gap, Dawn and Terry got married in March 2003, a month after her arrival. They went on to have son TJ (Terry Junior) together. But shortly after TJ’s birth, Terry a stroke. Struggling to cope with a baby and an ill husband, Dawn ended the marriage.

    When Dawn’s mum arrived to support her through the split, she took a liking to Terry and made a move on him. After being rejected, she encouraged her daughter to go for sole custody of TJ. Dawn agreed, arguing that due to his stroke, Terry often got tired and was a possible risk to TJ.

    Emmerdale Dawn Woods: Relationship with her stepbrother

    Dawn started seeing her stepbrother Scott Windsor, which gained more disapproval from Bob – who was married to Scott’s mum Viv. The couple soon moved in together, but Dawn was devastated when Scott left her. Zoe Tate was planning to move to America with her and Scott’s daughter Jean, and had invited Scott to go with them.

    Scott sent Dawn a letter telling her that it was best if they split as people thought their relationship was weird and he had convinced himself that he didn’t love her. Not wanting to see Scott or Zoe before they left for the US, Dawn legged it to Spain to stay with her mum.

    However, Scott never made it to America. Zoe discovered that he and his mum were plotting to take Jean. A fight occurred and Zoe stabbed Scott with a syringe full of ketamine. Dawn flew home just as Scott woke up in hospital and initially forgave him. But after she discovered he’d been blackmailing Paddy to be a witness against Zoe at trial, his true colours was shown to Dawn.

    Scott later punched Dawn by mistake while attacking Paddy and he was arrested for assault. Realising that Scott might be capable of rape as Zoe claimed, Dawn ended their relationship for good.

    Time in prison

    After his release from prison, Scott decided to get revenge on Dawn by reporting Dawn for benefit fraud. She’d been doing odd jobs to support TJ and make ends meet.

    Dawn was sentenced to 6 weeks in prison, although she only served 3 weeks. Upon her release, she was shocked to discover that her mum and Terry were now in a relationship. When they refused to end their relationship, Dawn reminded Terry that her mum was the reason she went for sole custody of their son.

    Dawn banned both Terry and her mum from seeing TJ and took him away to Cornwall.

    Dawn’s tragic death

    When Dawn returned to Emmerdale, she informed everyone that she had met someone and would be moving there permanently. Terry begged her to change her mind, but she refused.

    On the day of her planned departure, Dawn allowed Terry to spend the day with TJ, but he was late returning TJ, resulting in them missing the flight.

    Wanting something to do to pass the time, Dawn went with Marlon and Donna to visit their new house at the King’s River Showhome. However, a sabotage of the plot had been arranged by Sadie King and when the boiler room door was opened, the whole place exploded.

    At first it appeared that Dawn was fine, with her injuries seeming minor. Doctors planned to observe her and then release her. But things took a turn and Bob returned from getting a coffee to see his daughter being rushed into emergency theatre. He was later told that she passed away from internal injuries.
