One Emmerdale couple were left terrified in recent scenes when they had to take their son to hospital again.
Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) was horrified to find a bruise on son Evan’s leg, and decided to ring Dr Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) at the surgery, as her baby had been restless for a while.
Liam urged her to take him to A&E, and soon Dawn and Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) were anxiously awaiting test results.
However, Evan’s health wasn’t the only thing that was worrying Dawn.
With the nurses and doctors out of the room, she expressed her worries that they may be calling the police, given that they had only brought Evan in a few days ago and he now had more bruises.
As Dawn worried about being reported for child abuse, Billy tried to reassure her that all they cared about was Evan’s health, and he would soon be proved right when the doctors returned.
Dawn and Billy were left devastated as the doctor revealed that Evan was a ‘very poorly little boy’, before explaining that he could be suffering from an infection, auto-immune disease or a type of blood cancer, like Leukaemia.
