However, the bride-to-be's excitement is halted by the return of her ex Alex who pleads with her to let him explain his previous actions.

What exactly does he want from Dawn? And does evil serial killer Meena Jutla have something to do with his return?

In December, Alex turned up in the village after Meena tracked him down in a sick plan to get her love rival out of the way.

Meena was obsessed with Billy - and poisoned Alex against Dawn by telling him that their son Lucas was being neglected and abused.

Alex ended up snatching Lucas in the park while Dawn's back was turned as she talked to Billy.

Dawn was left terrified when she realised Lucas had disappeared and Billy vowed to help Dawn find him.

She's since been reunited with her young son and is trying to look forward to her future with Lucas and Billy.

However, it was just one week ago that Billy left his wife-to-be questioning her future with him after he brought up evil police officer Malone, who Dawn killed in self-defence two years ago, and mentioned Meena's murderous reign.

In scenes which aired on ITV days ago, Billy was sat by the window as he watched the street outside, worried Meena might reappear.

But they got in a heated row after Dawn got frustrated at Billy for his actions and it was then he brought up Malone, who Dawn had seen the end of as she tried to defend herself back in 2020.

Billy was fuming as he said how Meena had manipulated him for months and it lead to an angry exchange with Dawn, as she took what he said the wrong way and believed Billy was comparing her to evil Meena.

Will they get their happy ever after? Or will Meena swoop in and ruin their special day?

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
