SPOILERS: DAWN FLETCHER LEARNS OF CONSPIRACY AGAINST JOE TATE | INFORMING BRITAIN ON EMMERDALE

In forthcoming episodes of Emmerdale next week, Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), in an unusual storyline arc, tells Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) the truth.

Robert gets an idea, and he and Ross Barton (Michael Parr) hatch a plan to bring Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) down together.

Ross and Robert try to hack into Joe's laptop, however, Dawn arrives and catches Robert in the act.

Flustered, he decides to come clean to Dawn, telling her that Joe has a video of Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) and John Sugden (James Norton) that he needs to delete.

How Dawn reacts to hearing the truth about her partner remains to be seen.

The plan between Robert and Ross comes out in full to Dawn.

Further developments centre on Dawn's response to the information about the video.

The hacking attempt forms part of the wider effort against Joe.
