ITV Emmerdale’s Dawn Fletcher goes into labour as Kim Tate sparks concern with bombshell

Emmerdale viewers will be glued to their television screens next week.

Soap watchers will recall that Kim Tate’s horse was responsible for evil rapist Craig Reed’s murder during the Dingle whodunnit last month and she worked with Cain Dingle to cover up details of the death. And in upcoming scenes, Kim’s husband Will Taylor is stunned when Kim confirms that she played a part in Craig’s death.

Kim tells her side of the story, explaining what happened, but Will is left feeling utterly betrayed by his wife. Will is left with a huge decision to make when Kim begs him to keep her killer reveal a secret. However, things go from bad to worse the next day when Will is stunned to find a drunk Kim slumped against his pregnant daughter Dawn Fletcher’s birthing pool.

And when Kim rushes off to throw up, Will starts to worry about the state Kim has gotten herself into and the burden of keeping such a deadly secret. Yet there’s more drama to come for the family as over at the Christmas fair, heavily-pregnant Dawn’s contractions start…

It comes after fans speculated a Dawn baby twist after spotting a cryptic clue in July. After adopted daughter, Clemmie, struggled with the baby news, she accidentally pushed a dining stool into Dawn’s stomach, which resulted in her collapsing.

Worried about Dawn and their baby, Billy rushed his wife to hospital for an emergency scan and the couple cried happy tears after the sonographer confirmed that their baby was fine.

However, eagle-eyed fans were left distracted during the scenes as they heard a cryptic comment, which could lead to a major twist for Dawn and Billy. The medical staff member said during the scan: “Yes, they’re doing fine!”, which left many fans wondering if Dawn could be secretly having twins without realising.

Taking to Twitter, one person said: “I swear the nurse said “they’re” when looking for the baby’s heartbeat. Surely, that means twins? #Emmerdale.” A different account put: “That Nurse definitely said , they’re doing fine… #Emmerdale” alongside a Friends meme of “we only ordered one”.

Another soap watcher put: “The nurse said they’re doing fine and Billy and Dawn did not catch it #Emmerdale” with a laughing emoji. While a different viewer replied: “That’s what we were just saying as well. Came on Twitter to see if we were hearing things.”

However, some soap watchers were quick to point out that it’s likely the sonographer used “they” as the gender of the baby was unknown at the time.
