Emmerdale's Dawn Fletcher is a mum in crisis in Wednesday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

When Dawn Fletcher spots a new bruise on baby Evan's leg, she's quick to whip him over to the village surgery to get seen by Liam.

It's quick thinking indeed on the mum's part as the GP is concerned and says she must take her tiny son to A&E straightaway.

In the hospital, a paediatrician gets on with the blood tests while Dawn worries that the unexplained bruise will prompt a visit from social services. 

It turns out, to Dawn's horror, that the bruise is a sign something serious is going on for Evan who needs an urgent bone marrow biopsy so they pinpoint the problem.
