Dawn and Ross have known each other for a long time. This week, Emmerdale takes us back to their past relationship as Dawn Taylor and Ross Barton come face-to-face for the first time in six years. As viewers may remember, Ross recently returned to the village as the mystery opponent in an illegal underground fight against Billy Fletcher. The presence of Mackenzie Boyd at the event convinced Ross to stick around, and tensions rose between him and Billy over Billy's role in his son Moses' life.
Their rivalry has been heating up on screen in recent episodes, with Ross determined to cause trouble between Mack and Charity Dingle, who happens to be a former flame of his. However, this week, Ross has other things on his mind as fight organizer Jade demands a rematch between him and Billy. Ross urges Billy to participate for the sake of his family, which ultimately brings him back into Dawn's life.
In case you need a refresher, Dawn and Ross were together in Emmerdale in the past. But how did they get together? Well, Ross is actually the one responsible for bringing Dawn to the village. Back in 2018, Dawn was working as a sex worker and crossed paths with Ross when he was searching for Simon McManus, the man who threw acid at him. At first, Dawn denied knowing Simon, but eventually revealed that he had let her and her friends, Lee and Connor, stay at his place.
Unfortunately, Lee died from a drug overdose, and Dawn confided in Ross about the tragedy. As they grew closer, she opened up about her own son Lucas, who had been taken into care due to her drug use. Their bond was more of a friendship, though they did share a few kisses. Dawn would occasionally stop by the village to say hello, and during one visit, she even crossed paths with Ryan Stocks, who later became a close friend.
Eventually, Ross left the village, and when Dawn returned, Pete allowed her to stay. She quickly became a regular in Emmerdale and successfully got Lucas back with the help of her loved ones. And the rest, as they say, is history.
