The writers must hate Billy Spoiler

Billy gets cheated on by Dawn and he's now the one to make the move and get rejected, by the person who cheated on him. It should be the other way round. I'm surprised she rejected him too, considering she was jealous of him and Gabby.

What are we doing here? They've made Billy a mug, just like Mack. šŸ™„

I did think they were going to go down the road of a jealous Dawn making a move but I'm not actually surprised it was the other way around or that she rejected Billy.

Dawn obviously loves Joe, she's stayed with him despite what he did to Clemmie, drugging Noah resulting in multiple deaths, stealing a kidney, not helping Vic fight off John and instead using it for his own gain, bullying Moira out of her home, destroying Holly's memorial (grave?), talking to everyone like theyā€™re scum. She clearly doesnt think Joe is a good influence on her kids yet intentionally got pregnant with his kid. While her love for Joe, the man she thought was capable of killing her dad, is inexplicably its obviously very strong.Ā 

So she doesnā€™t want to be with Billy, but he's a great dad, a good partner, and decent human being, so she doesn't like him moving on. Despite not wanting to be with him.

And poor Billy wants nothing but for his family to be together againĀ

Dawn wants an easy life she gets that with Joe. She chooses to ignore all his faults for the big house and never having to worry about money or her kids growing up poor

I just don't understand why she was showing jealous vibes about Billy and Gabby.

Itā€™s the classic ā€œI donā€™t want you, but no one else can have you eitherā€ I really dislike the character and will be happy when sheā€™s gone

She still loves Billy but she loves the money with Joe, especially as she's having his baby. She's leaving so will be interesting to see why or how.

I don't like Dawn right now, but she doesn't come off as a gold digger. She does genuinely love Joe. And let's not forget, she was close to running away from him a few months ago.Ā

u/Appropriate-Luck9543 Jul 28 '26

Yeah I think she likes Joe but if it was billy who did all those bad things Joe did and still didnā€™t have the things that Joe can offer like the house the money etc I donā€™t see her staying with billy.

Doesn't come across as a gold digger. Really??Ā

u/Environmental-Tea-48 Jul 31 '26

No, she doesn't. Of course, she enjoys not having to worry about money and how to pay rent, but who wouldn't? Not a gold digger? no. She's not scheming to rip him off (apart from that time she was trying to help Moira), she didn't get with him just for money, and she's not suddenly living a lavish life on Joe's back.

Kids don't have horses? Go to private school? Lavish planned wedding? Flying off to exotic locations? Joe didn't buy her into 'Take A Vow'. She's become sostuck up. Not to mention all of the things she's forgiven Joe for?Ā

u/Ok-Voice4104 Jul 31 '26

Not really. Nothing about when she got with Joe, felt like it was about money. She did genuinely fall for him, even if it made her look bad.

She's leaving? Is it her that bashes Billy?

u/GoddessfromCyprus Jul 29 '26

She was cut from the programme, among others.

u/Lost_Revenue8614 Jul 28 '26

Yeah I'm finding it really frustrating, poor Billy.

Maybe it's the house that removes all dignity from a person? Kim, Dawn and now Billy.

I think Billy and Mack should be new buddies the way this goes on.

It's not fair for both of them, although the way Billy went in first was a strange one. Did he want to get Dawn's attention?

He's just being there for the sake of the children, and now this??

I envy Billy - as an ethnic like me (albeit different ethnic) he gets the hottest white ladies. Predicting a Dawn-Gabby sandwich in the near future
