Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale's Billy Fletcher faces more heartbreak tonight (October 12) as he discovers that his brother Ellis Chapman has spent the night with Dawn Taylor.
Billy (Jay Kontzle) is still hoping for a reunion with Dawn after she unexpectedly dumped him, but he may be about to realise that their broken relationship is a lost cause.
Monday's episode sees Ellis (Aaron Anthony) wake up at Dawn's place, feeling ashamed over the night before.
Ellis regrets betraying Billy and is also surprised by Dawn's cold attitude towards him as she tells him to leave.

What to Read Next
Later, the gossip begins as Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) and Billy both tease Ellis for staying out all night.
Marlon and Billy are both keen to know who Ellis's new lady is, but he refuses to share any details for obvious reasons.
Sadly for Ellis, his desire for secrecy is thwarted when Dawn appears and makes a point of cruelly telling Billy exactly what happened the night before.
As Billy reacts with hurt and anger, he doesn't realise that this is all part of Dawn's masterplan. She still wants to push Billy away and prevent him from finding out the truth about DI Malone's murder.

Olivia Bromley, who plays Dawn, recently explained: "It's awful for Dawn. It's so, so painful. But I think she's in such a low place and she's so fearful. Everything else in her world feels so vulnerable, so she's almost in self-destruct mode now.
"She had all of her life together, but now because of Malone, it's starting to crumble. She's ruining everything for herself as well. She really makes quite a dramatic announcement about it!"
Emmerdale airs tonight at 7pm on ITV.
