Will Dawn Taylor get her son back in Emmerdale?
It’s unclear yet whether or not Dawn will be able to regain custody of her little boy, Lucas, who is currently living with foster parents.
Spoilers have revealed that Dawn has a plan in mind when she’s visited by a social worker in upcoming episodes.
The recovering heroin addict is heartbroken when her social worker tells her that plans to have Lucas adopted have already been put in place. Scared she’ll never see her little boy again, Dawn will steal the address of his foster carers from the social worker’s file. Will she really resort to kidnapping her own son?
Dawn lost custody of little Lucas due to her drug addiction.
Who is Dawn Taylor in Emmerdale?
Dawn first appeared in Emmerdale in April 2018 when Ross Barton tried to track down Simon McManus.
She is a junkie and a prostitute and bonded with Ross when he stole drugs from Paddy Kirk and Rhona Goskirk’s vet’s to give her.
Dawn has a son who has been taken away from her due to her drug use.
She later slept with Ross before he got back together with Rebecca White.
Moira Barton tried to help the troubled soul as she reminded her of her dead daughter Holly Barton who was also a drug addict.
But Dawn wasn’t interested in Moira’s help and rejected her attempts to help her sort her life out.
Dawn was last seen on screen back in October when she tipped Ross off that Simon was back in the village and planning a raid on Home Farm.
It was revealed in December 2018 that Dawn knew Harriet Finch from when the vicar worked on an elaborate sting when Dawn was a child.
Harriet was in a relationship with Dawn’s father and Dawn knew her as Michelle. She had no idea that Harriet was only with her father as part of her job until she saw her in the village and learned the truth.
Dawn had grown up thinking ‘Michelle’ - who was a mother figure to her - had abandoned her.
