A new trailer for upcoming scenes on Emmerdale has teased yet more drama following the wedding of Dawn and Joe, and bosses have explained that the impact on the village will be felt for years to come20:49, 03 Aug 2026Updated 20:49, 03 Aug 2026Emmerdale has released a new trailer teasing the "dramatic" wedding of Dawn Fletcher and Joe Tate. Fans of the Yorkshire-based ITV soap will know that Dawn, who has been played by Olivia Bromley since 2018, is set to walk down the aisle and tie the knot with Joe (Ned Porteous) but she recently had a secret kiss with her ex-partner, Billy (Jay Kontzle).‌Everything was heightened when Billy was brutally attacked, and, with the character currently in a coma, the finger of blame has been heavily pointed towards Joe.‌Whilst Joe has been released from police custody, things are not looking good for Dawn, who is caught up in her own emotional turmoil, desperate to maintain faith in her fiancé’s innocence despite the mounting pressure.‌In scenes set to air this week, Dawn learns that doctors intend to bring Billy out of his coma and is hopeful that he will be able to provide all the answers, but his reaction only throws up more questions.Emmerdale producer, Laura Shaw, said: "The run up to Dawn and Joe’s wedding will be far from straightforward but the week of the wedding is even more dramatic! The day will end in tragedy with the consequences having ramifications that will impact the villagers' lives for years to come.”‌Billy sustained a bleed on the brain, after Kerry Wyatt found her colleague lifeless on the floor of the depot where they work. He was lying with his head in a pool of blood, with his loved ones warned he's in a bad way.Kerry and boss Caleb Miligan were quick to point out to the police that Joe Tate may have attacked Billy. After all he had threatened Billy to Caleb, after Caleb told Joe about Billy and Dawn's apparent kiss.Fans have mixed ideas on the truth, and now speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Joe actor Ned Porteous recently weighed in on the matter as he He addressed whether Joe is capable of hurting Billy in this way, while he also teased whether his character is the real attacker.‌With some fans saying it's too obvious to be Joe, Ned discussed this and pointed out Joe did have it in him to commit the crime. That said, something he told us could hint that Joe is not to blame.Asked if Joe could be at fault, he replied: "I think Joe has it in him to do a whole bunch of things. Yeah. I think the beauty of this character, and the fun I've been having with the character, is the duality between his capabilities for great good and great evil.‌"I think as a thematic tool, Joe, and characters like Joe, are extremely useful for the screenwriters, because we can see that he is a good dude, but he has no practice at it. He's volatile, he has a complete lack of control of his emotions."So, if you were to get to him, he'll get you back sevenfold." We then questioned whether if Joe was innocent, will he struggle to prove that innocence given Joe's dark ways in the past.He told us: "Absolutely. I think everything that Joe does in this village is guilty until proven innocent, because why on earth wouldn't it be? We've only ever seen Joe do bad things to people, apart from the one or two people that he's let close to himself and his heart that know that he's not completely evil."Article continues belowEmmerdale, 8pm, weeknights on ITV1 and STV or from 7am on ITVX, STV & YouTube.Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .
