There’s serious danger and peril in Emmerdale next week, with new weekly spoilers revealing a nightmare for Dawn and Billy Fletcher (Olivia Bromley and Jay Kontzle) as they fear for baby Evan, while Samson Dingle (Sam Hall) is stabbed after a situation between his mate Josh and Matty (Ash Palmisciano) escalates.
