Emmerdale fans predict Rose's return for Dawn's funeral after tragic death
Emmerdale viewers are convinced that a former character could be heading back to the village following Dawn Taylor's tragic death. Dawn, played by Olivia Bromley, died in the Sunday, August 30 episode after a massive haemorrhage led to cardiac arrest. The character, who first appeared on the ITV soap in 2018, had been involved in a car crash on her wedding day to fiancé Joe Tate, played by Ned Porteous.
The crash occurred when Jimmy King, played by Nick Miles, ploughed his vehicle into the marquee, leaving Dawn, Joe, and Jimmy fighting for survival. Jimmy lost his life, while Joe and Dawn managed to escape. After being rushed to hospital, Dawn went into premature labour and delivered a baby boy several months ahead of schedule.
Now, fans are speculating that Dawn's mother, Rose, played by Christine Tremarco, could return for the funeral. On an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, supporters have been predicting a comeback for the character. One viewer mused, "Maybe Dawn's mum will be back for her funeral?" Another added, "I'd like that, I liked Rose," while a third chimed in, "Yeah, I thought that. Get her back!"
Rose arrived in the Dales in April 2024 and caused considerable drama, including attempts to sabotage Kim Tate's marriage, played by Claire King. She later vanished and was feared dead, but ultimately left the village in August 2024 to start a new life overseas.
Christine Tremarco, who plays Rose, has appeared in programmes such as Waterloo Road, Casualty, and Clink. She also portrayed Manda Miller in the Netflix series Adolescence and received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series.
Meanwhile, Olivia Bromley discussed her character's exit with The Mirror, describing it as "the toughest storyline" she'd done on the soap. She said she was surprised by how emotional the storyline was and admitted, "I did cry." Bromley added, "It is very strange to kill off your character as an actor and in front of your colleagues. But that said, what a gift to be given. Often people leave and just slip off."
Emmerdale airs Monday to Friday at 8:00pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
