Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) suffers a medical emergency in Emmerdale when she collapses, but doctors miss the underlying cause. The entrepreneur has developed an obsession with nutrition, and while signs have been subtle, they are becoming more obvious.
Gabby's new boyfriend Billy (Jay Kontzle), who works in fitness and nutrition, inadvertently fuels her fixation by backing her healthy lifestyle. She stops her son from eating a frozen lolly and prevents him from attending a friend's birthday party due to the food served.
Gabby collapses and visits the GP
Gabby feels dizzy while posting about clean eating on social media but ignores it. Dawn finds her unconscious on the kitchen floor and urges her to see Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker). Gabby agrees and visits the GP, but Manpreet does not recognise the signs of an eating disorder. She notes Gabby's low blood pressure and considers pregnancy as a cause, but Gabby is soon cleared on that front.
Despite the collapse, Gabby continues her healthy living crusade and stops taking birth control, alarming Dawn, who disapproves of Gabby dating Billy. Dawn tells Billy about the birth control change, hoping it will make him reconsider the relationship, but Gabby is furious.
Dawn's risky move and Gabby's worsening condition
Dawn's intervention piques Joe's (Ned Porteous) suspicions that she still has feelings for Billy. As distractions unfold, Gabby's health deteriorates further. The question remains whether anyone will notice in time or if more bad news is ahead.
