Emmerdale newcomer Rose revealed as Dawn Fletcher's estranged mother
How will Kim and Dawn react?
Emmerdale has revealed that newcomer Rose (Christine Tremarco) is actually the estranged mother of Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley).
The ITV soap previously announced that Rose would be connected to Dawn's father Will Taylor (Dean Andrews), and in tonight's episode (25th April 2024), Will received a frustrating call about which he immediately lied to wife Kim Tate (Claire King).
When Dawn mentioned that Will wasn't on a work run as he had told Kim, the latter wondered what he was really up to.
When we next saw him, he had arrived at the hospital, where he heard Rose entertaining the nurses in one of the rooms.
Branding him a worm, Rose reverted to her old nickname for him, "Wills", before explaining that she had fallen over after a night out. Will had been called as her next of kin, and demanded to be taken off her file.
"We mean nothing to each other," said Will, though he couldn't help asking where she had been all these years. Rose revealed she was living abroad and doing alright for herself, noting that Will clearly was too.
But when Rose added that she had done him a favour in "spreading her wings", Will reminded her that she had abandoned him and their daughter!

Rose simply stated that if Dawn was alive, safe and happy, then that would be enough for her, before maintaining that she was content to carry on living for number one.
Will updated Rose on how his and Dawn's lives had spiralled after she left, resulting in him taking on dodgy work and being sent to prison while Dawn was sent into care.
Rose appeared almost completely unfazed, and a nurse interrupted his cold rant as Will walked away.
Returning to Home Farm, Will was asked by Kim what he had been up to, but he managed to cover. Kim wondered if everything was OK, but Will insisted that everything was well.
Yet when she looked at Will's phone and saw that he had been looking at a social media page, which matched the one Rose gave out to a nurse, Kim looked troubled.
Will Kim find out what Will is hiding? And will he tell Dawn that her mum is nearby?
