Emmerdale Shock: Newlyweds’ Marriage Crumbles Amidst Explosive Affair Revelations
But who’s really to blame for the affair that ruined it all?
AN EMMERDALE couple are torn apart just a year after tying the knot – as a toxic affair sends shockwaves through the village.
What started as a steamy secret spirals into heartbreak, betrayal and one brutal showdown that leaves their marriage in tatters.
As the truth comes out, emotions run high – and it’s clear there’s no going back.
Emmerdale’s Billy Fletcher will be left broken next week after a string of cruel lies tears his marriage to Dawn apart – and ends in a devastating goodbye to his family.
It all kicks off when Mackenzie slyly suggests Dawn might be having an affair with ex-flame Ross, planting a seed of doubt that quickly spirals out of control.
Billy’s alarm bells ring louder when he finds Dawn’s phone locked with a new code – and things only get worse when Joe fans the flames, fuelling Billy’s paranoia.
Convinced something’s going on, Billy confronts Ross and the pair come to blows – only for Clemmie to walk in and hear the ugly accusation.
Mortified, Billy tries to comfort her, but she shuts him out, and he’s crushed to realise he’s got it all wrong.
Racked with guilt, Joe offers support – but knows he’s the real reason behind Billy’s heartbreak.
As Billy leaves Home Farm, Joe assures a guilty Dawn it’s for the best.
Later, Billy swallows his pride and apologises to Ross, who urges him not to let the mess with Dawn ruin things with the kids.
His words hit home – and Billy returns with flowers and an apology.
But it’s too late.
Dawn and Billy know it’s over, and they brace themselves to break the news to Clemmie and Lucas.
As they explain their divorce, emotions run high and Billy’s choked as he realises he’s saying goodbye to the family life he loved.
With a heavy heart, Billy leaves Home Farm for good – and Kim Tate, surprisingly sympathetic, offers him a place in the holiday cottage as he starts his next chapter… alone.
