In last night’s episode of Emmerdale (Thursday, July 11), Kim took the blame for Billy’s irresponsible actions after baby Evan’s recent hospital dash.

Dawn took it out on Kim and told her to stay away as she’d put her baby’s life at risk by going to a hotel bar.

Emmerdale fans have now turned things around and have failed to defend Dawn during her recent outburst towards Kim.

Emmerdale: Kim protected Billy from Dawn

Recently in the Dales, Billy was struggling to please Dawn and decided to leave Home Farm for a drink or two with Nate.

He’d aimed to keep a social distance from Nate but ended up getting rather drunk. Kim realised that he’d broken Dawn’s rules and covered for him, sending him to bed in the spare room.

Last night, Billy almost confessed the truth to Dawn after Evan was rushed to hospital. He’d developed a cough and Billy felt to blame.

However, Kim then stepped in and told Dawn that she’d been the one to break their bubble. She’d gone to a hotel bar and broken the rules.

Dawn was livid and took her anger out on Kim, blasting her for leaving her own home.
