Emmerdale viewers have blasted Gabby Thomas for dragging up Dawn Taylor's past, branding it "unforgivable".
During tonight's episode the two women got into a fight about juggling motherhood and work. Dawn told Gabby if she couldn't handle it both, she shouldn't have accepted her new position.
Gabby then asked Dawn to give Thomas his tea. Offended, Dawn told her she wasn't her lackey and that if she was struggling with her job, she shouldn't have gotten drunk with Nicky the night before.

Gabby fired back: "You are only sore because I got the job and you didn't. All this gaffe about spending time with kids but you won't even help with Thomas."
Dawn then implied Gabby was prioritising her career over motherhood which saw the argument escalate and resulted in Gabby shouting: "Lucas was in foster care for god's sake, who fed him while you were busy shooting up drugs and working as a prostitute?"
However, Gabby did not realise Dawn's kids were standing right behind her and overheard what she had said. They of course wanted to know what she had meant by it with Dawn being forced to explain her past to her children a lot earlier than she had hoped.
Fans thought Gabby's comments were harsh and nasty.
Wini tweeted: "What Gabby said to Dawn is so nasty!"
Sulagna commented: "Dawn, you should be proud of how much you have achieved. Gabby is the one who should be ashamed."
Brandon wrote: "Dawn should’ve been able to tell her children about her past in her own way and on her own time. Gabby is a immature hoity-toity b****!"
L said: "Alright Gabby wind ya neck in bit harsh that."
Pilch said: "That was a bit below the belt gabby.... your not exactly miss pure white yours...."
And Jehan fumed: "Gabby is such a petty b****! It was bang out of order for her to bring up Dawn's past with the kids there! Unforgivable. Gabby needs to grow TF up!"
