Emmerdale fans are convinced a tragic death will occur during Joe Tate and Dawn Taylor's wedding week, following an eerie new trailer from ITV. The soap's producer has teased that the wedding day will end in tragedy, with consequences that will impact villagers for years.
Wedding drama unfolds
Joe and Dawn's relationship has been rocky from the start, beginning as a steamy affair while Dawn was married to Billy Fletcher. Despite Joe's dark past, including kidnapping Caleb Miligan for his kidney and being linked to three deaths in the Valentine's limo crash, Dawn chose to stay with him.
She even discovered she was pregnant with Joe's baby, and the couple looked forward to their future. However, in the lead-up to the wedding, a secret kiss between Dawn and Billy has cast a shadow over the celebrations. The drama escalated when Billy was brutally attacked and left in a coma, with suspicion falling on Joe.
Fans fear for Billy
Although Joe has been released from police custody, Dawn is torn between trusting her fiancé and the mounting pressure. The new trailer has sparked speculation among fans, many of whom believe Billy will be the one to die.
On Reddit, user typicalbobcat1088 wrote: "I personally think Billy is the goner, which causes Dawn to leave anyways." Another user, soapfan21, added: "I actually think it's going to be Billy who dies, and Joe is responsible for it so Dawn leaves with the kids. Think it would be too obvious to kill Dawn, and we all know they wouldn't kill off Joe Tate. This recent attack on Billy is to lure us into believing he will survive, but I think he will die."
Producer teases tragedy
Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw said: "The run up to Dawn and Joe’s wedding will be far from straightforward but the week of the wedding is even more dramatic! The day will end in tragedy with the consequences having ramifications that will impact the villagers' lives for years to come."
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX and YouTube from 7am.
