Emmerdale confirms tragic wedding death amid Dawn and Joe nuptials

Emmerdale has confirmed that tragedy will strike during Dawn Fletcher and Joe Tate's wedding, as a new trailer shows Dawn swapping her wedding dress for a black veil. The ITV soap's latest promo hints at a death amid the celebrations, leaving fans guessing who will perish.

Wedding drama escalates

Dawn (Olivia Bromley) and Joe (Ned Porteous) are set to tie the knot, but their path to wedded bliss has been anything but smooth. Dawn has already betrayed Joe by kissing Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle), and Billy is fighting for his life after a brutal attack. Joe is the prime suspect, though Dawn desperately wants to believe he is a changed man.

Tomorrow, Billy is set to wake from his coma, and Dawn hopes he can identify his attacker and clear Joe's name. But the trailer suggests the drama is only beginning, with the wedding week described as 'huge' and 'dramatic'.

Tragedy looms

In the trailer, Dawn is seen in a black veil, a sure sign that death is coming. Both Joe and Billy appear to vanish from Dawn's mirror, suggesting either could be at risk. Show boss Laura Shaw teased: 'The run up to Dawn and Joe's wedding will be far from straightforward but the week of the wedding is even more dramatic!'

She added: 'The day will end in tragedy with the consequences having ramifications that will impact the villagers' lives for years to come.'

More shocks ahead

Speaking to Metro, Shaw promised relentless twists: 'All I can say is that the wedding week is huge and then what follows after… The boom, boom, booms absolutely do not stop!' She revealed she has already watched the episodes after the wedding and was left gasping, saying: 'There's so many shocks, there's so many twists, there's so many turns.'
