DAWN RUNS AWAY TO SAVE EVERYONE AROUND HER? | EMMERDALE SPOILERS

Since the first ever Socially Distanced murder in Serial Drama history, Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) - who is responsible for said murder - has been on self-destruct since committing the crime over corrupt police officer DI Mark Malone (Mark Womack).

​The reason for Dawn's self-destruction is because she wants to protect everyone she loves and if it means hurting their feelings then needs must.

​In tonight's (Tuesday 13 October 2020) episode of Emmerdale, Dawn turned up the heat to near boiling point in her latest game.

Already reeling from yesterday's revelation (Billy descovered it was Dawn who Ellis slept with), Dawn decided to make matters worse for the Fletcher/Chapman brothers by claiming to Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) she and Ellis Chapman (Aaron Anthony) had been sleeping together for months.  Of course that's a lie but, again, needs must in Dawn's situation.

Billy - who is out of prison on licence - desperately tried to keep his cool and not do anything to jeopardise his freedom but it was obvious to everyone he was completely livid at his brother's alledge betrayal and what Dawn had just told.

Ellis, point-blank, protested his innocence and pleaded with Billy to believe he only slept with Dawn the one time and turned to Dawn to ask why she was doing this.  Viewers know full-well Dawn is pushing everyone away so they are not embroiled in a murder investigation if DI Malone's body - which is currently decomposing at the local graveyard (because Reverend Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton) has 'contacts' and can use the land in that way) is ever unearthed. 

Dawn then quit her job at Home Farm. 

In the closing moments of episode 8860, Dawn was seen exiting Woodbine Cottage with a holdall bag, locking the door, putting the keys back through the letterbox then wander away into the sunset - OK, it wasn't quite sunset but you get the drift.

Of course Dawn Taylor/Olivia Bromley hasn't officially left the programme but it will be interesting to see the further developments in this story as Emmerdale continues.

Emmerdale is back on ITV/STV, tomorrow, at 19:00.
