When Billy Fletcher proposed to Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) she was utterly stunned.

But single mum Dawn had no hesitation in accepting.

She and Billy have spent too long apart and now they're determined to be together no matter what life throws at them.

So far, the couple have kept their engagement news to themselves but when Dawn's little boy Lucas finds out about it, Dawn and Billy are forced to share it with their loved ones.
