Dawn and Joe on Emmerdale on May 29, 2025 / ITV
Olivia Bromley is to leave her role as Dawn Taylor on Emmerdale after eight years, it has emerged.
The 30-year-old made her debut in the Dales in 2018 as Dawn, the de-facto step-daughter to Kim Tate (Claire King) and a mother of three.
According to The Sun, the decision for Bromley to leave was not hers as producers came to the decision that the character had run her course.
A source told the newspaper: “Olivia is adored by everyone at Emmerdale so the decision to axe her has not gone down well at all.
“She’s a popular member of the cast and if they can get rid of Olivia then the feeling is virtually no-one is safe.
“Olivia understood their decision and is preparing to film her exit in the coming months.”
Details of whether the door will be kept open for Dawn’s return, or if she will be killed off, are currently unknown.
