Dawn and Billy's son Evan is going to get diagnosed with Leukaemia
Emmerdale's Dawn and Billy Fletcher are set to live every parent's worst nightmare as their baby son Evan is diagnosed with cancer.
Speaking exclusively about the storyline to Leeds Live, Olivia Bromley who plays Dawn confirmed this isn’t going to be a quick storyline. She said: “There's a lot of dynamics. But I think the thing what's quite draining is that the relationship between Dawn and Billy is very strained. He said: "When I got the story, I'd literally just had another baby in real life and now I'm worried about my own child. I think it happens with everyone, especially as a parent, you become a lot more concerned and that's why I think these stories are really pivotal to show because it makes you think about it a little bit more and makes you a bit more aware.
Olive went on to reveal that they have been working with a real life baby for this hard hitting storyline. She added: "We're working with a real baby who we love. It's amazing and his parents are amazing but that's quite impactful isn't it? Seeing him there in the hospital. I'm sure it will be difficult for his parents to watch us play this story. It really brings it home.
