Itv emmerdale fans 'frustrated' over affair storyline

EMMERDALE VIEWERS HAVE BEEN GETTING WOUND UP ABOUT DAWN FLETCHER AND JOE TATE'S AFFAIR STORYLINE AS CLEMMIE CONTINUES TO BE IN THE FIRING LINE. 14:10, 20 May 2025 Emmerdale fans have

been left frustrated over Dawn Fletcher and Joe Tate's romantic affair. It comes as Billy finally discovered the reason for his marriage break-up, learning she had been sleeping with

Joe. It wasn't only a betrayal from the woman he loved and the man he thought was his pal, but Billy went on to discover that Joe made horrible threats against Clemmie Reed after she

spotted him and Dawn kissing. But it seems fans of the ITV soap are getting "fed up" with the storyline, as they have taken to discussion platform Reddit to vent over recent

episodes. Taking to Reddit, one fan fumed: "Why is Dawn continuing her affair with Joe?! Seriously, after everything that was revealed about him, she still wants to be with him?

Grrrr..... when is this storyline ever going to end?!" Fans soon responded in the comments section. "She is a freaking idiot," one simply noted. Another added: "Please

Billy, take the kids while Yawn goes to jail." Article continues below They added: "Then hopefully someone actually kills Joe and we get a proper 'Whodunnit' as I will

actually be gutted if thats all we are getting with all the groundwork that was put in with the Tom King easter eggs." One fan vented: "Incredibly bad writing. Just the worst. But

for arguments sake, we could say for the story, it must be because she has absolutely no moral compass. She knows Joe drugged Noah and was responsible for 3 deaths (which he responds with

"it was an accident" as if) and kidnapped, stabbed, and stole Caleb's kidney, almost killing him in the process. "Those two reasons alone should be why she should be

nowhere near him. Even if one argued it didn't happen to her, and her circle of compassion for others doesn't extend that far out, we then have how she knows how he treated

Clemmie, her child. Which means even her own children aren't as important." They added: "So yeah, writing wise, they are making her just plain evil. But really, it's just

really incredibly poor plotting and writing. Atrociously amateurish actually." Another quipped: "I’ve decided that Joe has to be THAT good in bed but because it’s a soap it’s not

obvious. It’s all that makes sense." As another noted, "Billy was right when he said she just upped her price." Someone else said: "And Dawn still has the nerve to expect

an apology from Billy. I can sense her turning into a villain at this rate. "She seems to care very little about not just Billy, but also Joe threatening and blackmailing Clemmie. Not

to mention all the other reckless things Joe has done recently, yet Dawn, for some reason, is still by his side?" "He obviously cares more about Clemmie at this point,"

pointed out one fan. Article continues below _JOIN THE_ _DAILY RECORD'S WHATSAPP COMMUNITY HERE __AND GET THE LATEST NEWS SENT STRAIGHT TO YOUR MESSAGES._
