Dawn (played by Olivia Bromley) has had a devastating week on Emmerdale after she discovered her best friend had died of an overdose. When she arrived at her other friend’s house for the wake, she realised the deceased had a seven-year-old daughter who was living in the most horrendous conditions. The mother of one decided to bring young Clemmie (Mabel Addison) back to the village but this is where her problems recently started on the ITV soap.

Friday’s episode began with her husband, Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle), urging Dawn to contact social services to take Clemmie into care.

Feeling responsible to look after her friend’s child, the villager was reluctant to do this and it wasn’t too long before police officer Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton) discovered what was going on.

As the pair argued, with the law enforcer telling her surrogate daughter this would be regarded as kidnap, Clemmie disappeared after hearing her mother had died.

With Dawn desperately trying to find the youngster, it was Billy who managed to track her down and the pair bonded over the loss of a parent.

Having seen how much Clemmie needed their support, Billy was on board with taking on the care of the young school girl.

However, their efforts were dashed when social services turned up and explained Clemmie was going to be given to a foster family.

This broke Dawn’s heart as she knew she would be able to give the young girl the life she had always wanted and she would become her mother figure.

As Dawn protested the child being taken away from her in the middle of the street, a sheepish Harriet arrived on the scene.

“Children’s services are complicated,” the former vicar declared, with Dawn asking her if she could do something to stop what was happening.

“It’s over my head now, I’m really sorry,” the police officer remarked, with the mother of one bidding a heartbreaking farewell to the young girl.

You have stabbed me in the back

As the car drove away from the village, Harriet apologised once more as she admitted she was the one who called social services.

Dawn was livid as she asked her mother figure: “When you said it had gone over your head, what did you mean by that?

“Tell me this wasn’t you? Tell me you didn’t go behind my back when you saw that terrified little girl?” she continued.

“It wasn’t like that,” the former vicar replied, with Dawn adding: “Tell me you didn’t make that call?”

With the silence deafening, Dawn told the policewoman: “You have sent her from one hell to another and now she thinks no one is coming back for her.”

“I know it seems harsh but you were not aware of the potential repercussions,” Harriet remarked, with her surrogate daughter telling her she should have “trusted” her.

Harriet continued: “I care about you, Billy and Lucas so much. I just, I didn’t want you to get into trouble. Dawn, she’s not yours.”

“I don’t care what you think, you have stabbed me in the back. You have no idea what you have done,” a furious Dawn replied.

The end credits rolled with Harriet looking devastated by her actions but she might not realise this will cost her her life.

Almost two years ago, it was Dawn who killed DI Malone (Mark Womack) when he tried to destroy her family and hurt Harriet.

The police officer, Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) and even Kim Tate (Claire King) disposed of the body so Dawn wouldn’t suffer the consequences.

Ever since it is as if the murder has been buried under the carpet and is forbidden to talk about as Dawn has gone on to get married.

However, her killer instincts could now return as she forms a plan of revenge against Harriet for betraying her in the worst way.

With her anger taking over, she could end up doing exactly what she said and in a heated exchange with the former vicar, end up stabbing her in the back.

Billy wouldn’t want his wife to go to jail so he would help her cover up yet another murder after she claimed her second victim.

But with all this said and done, could it really be the end of the road for Harriet after almost 10 years of being on the show?

Speaking about the possibility of leaving the role, the actress who plays Harriet, Katherine, said: “You always worry that your days might be numbered.

“There have got to be consequences, whether that happens a year down the line or two years down the line, you can’t get away with murder.

“But I’ll stay for as long as they want me to stay. I love the show and the role; thank heavens for it,” she told The Sun.

Will Harriet live to see another day or will she end up six feet under?

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV, with an hour-long episode airing on Thursdays.
