Emmerdale spoilers: Dawn and Billy fear the worst
Spotting a new bruise on Evan’s leg, Dawn calls the surgery. Doctor Liam recommends that she take Evan to A&E immediately.
At the hospital, a pediatrician examines Evan and then asks to complete some blood tests. Billy and Dawn are fearful that the doctor will accuse them of hurting their son – but it’s soon clear the pediatrician has some even worse news in store.
The worried couple learn that Evan is very sick. The doctor then explains that they need to take an urgent bone marrow biopsy – as Evan has extremely low haemoglobin and platelet levels.
Dawn and Billy are left reeling by the news, but they try to stay strong for their little boy.

Unable to feed her son as he is now nil by mouth until after the biopsy, Dawn struggles to soothe Evan.
