Rumours around Dawn’s vial of ketamine have been circling online

Rumours have been rife across the Emmerdale fandom after Dawn Taylor was seen clutching a vial of ketamine by her father’s graveside.

In the final shot of Wednesday’s episode of the long-running ITV soap, filmed in Leeds, we saw former prostitute Dawn, who has a history of drug abuse, played by Olivia Bromley, standing beside her late dad Mark Taylor’s grave. She was holding onto a vial of the horse tranquiliser drug.

Fans were quick to speculate what might be in store in the coming episodes with theories that she may be up to something wicked. They were quick to point out that a drugging storyline, involving ketamine, had previously happened in the series when Zoe Tate injected Scott Windsor with ketamine in self-defence after he attacked her. The whole situation ended drastically with Scott later taking revenge.

Taking to X, @Raven_M0rrigan said: “So has Dawn killed her dad? Dawn is gonna try and kill Kim? Dawn is going back on the drugs? Or plant the drug on Kim?”

@TheTateDynasty said: “Ketamine?!!! Noooo Dawn, that’s not a good idea. Read up on Zoe Tate and Scott Windsor…”

@ginski67 said: “So what’s Dawn gonna do with ketamine. Is she going to start drugging Kim (old story line already been done before) or is she taking it herself.”

@MichZiff said: “Dawn on the ket. Ruby on the wine. Again. Emmerdale on the misery.”

@ShakyWoon said: “Dawn visiting Wills grave and she apologises to him…. and has a substance in her hand! Are you thinking what I’m thinking?!”

@Dbella91 said: “Dismal Dawn back on the drugs, now she’s gonna start stealing from Kim to pay for her habit. Get rid.”

@penniless_poet said: “Dad I’m sorry I let you down today – I hope you know how much I love you, even though I didn’t want to know you a couple of weeks back”
