In a recent interview, Emmerdale actress Olivia Bromley opened up about her character Dawn Fletcher's wardrobe, or lack thereof. It seems that while Dawn has been going through some tough storylines, Olivia has been struggling with one particular aspect of her role – her character's fashion choices.
"I hate Dawn's wardrobe with a passion," Olivia admitted, "It depresses me – I can't lie. I wish she could be as glamorous as Kim Tate. Unfortunately, I'm saddled with drab jumpers." It's clear that Olivia has a very different sense of style from her character, and it's been a challenge for her to embody Dawn's fashion choices.
However, she also acknowledged that Dawn's wardrobe says a lot about her character. "She's not thinking about how she looks," Olivia explained. "There used to be this big fluffy black coat I wore for years and years – the iconic Dawn coat. But it's horrible! She can't wear that anymore. I would love them to put some makeup on me."
As someone who has been playing Dawn since 2018, Olivia also shared her hopes for her character's development. "I've always thought it would be nice for Dawn to display a different side of herself," she revealed. "Maybe working behind the bar or doing some more comedy, alongside Charity and Chas. It would be a totally different thing to play, where you could see her just commenting on the action. But she'd probably be the most grumpy barmaid!" Olivia joked.
Recently on Emmerdale, Dawn's marriage to Billy Fletcher has been put to the test as they dealt with their son's illness and the revelation that Billy has been participating in illegal underground fights. Olivia shared her thoughts on this storyline, saying, "I've always thought it would be nice for Dawn to display a different side of herself, which could be shown by working behind the bar, or doing some more comedy, maybe alongside Charity and Chas. Because that is a totally different thing to play, where you could see her just commenting on the action. But she'd probably be the most grumpy barmaid!"
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX, and it seems that Olivia is just as invested in her character's journey as the viewers are.
