Emmerdale star Olivia Bromley has teased that there’s trouble ahead of her character Dawn Fletcher as she gives birth to her first child.
There’s chaos at the Christmas Fair in upcoming scenes of the ITV soap as pregnant Dawn’s contractions start but with dad-to-be Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) nowhere to be seen and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) as her potential new birth partner, the actress has opened up about what fans can expect.
Olivia told Daily star and other press: “Dawn has obviously had a traumatic experience being pregnant. She had her baby taken away from her and she was addicted to heroin so with this second chance, she wants to do everything totally different and puts herself under extreme pressure.

She continued: “It was a big challenge as an actor to do these things especially if you’ve not experienced it in real life. We had a medical advisor on set and a very little 12 day old baby. Jay [Kontzle, who plays Billy] has his own kids so he was brilliant. I was terrible nervous to hold someone else’s newborn but so cute. The parents were really chilled and were thrilled to see their newborn on screen. Dawn’s baby is a little boy called Evan, named after Billy’s dad.”

There’s some big things coming up definitely but I’m in the dark because we’ve had some big changes so all I know is that there’s going to be big drama for Billy and Dawn in Spring time but I honestly don’t know yet myself.”
