Emmerdale fans saw Will Taylor (played by Dean Andrews) return to the soap tonight (June 13) as the character step foot back in the village to see daughter Dawn (Olivia Bromley) and Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton). ITV viewers were pondering who Harriet’s mystery stalker a few weeks back and it turned out to be Will. Here’s all you need to know about actor Andrews, the man behind Dawn’s dad on the ITV soap.
Who plays Dawn’s dad Will Taylor on Emmerdale?
Will Taylor is played by 55-year-old actor Dean Andrews on Emmerdale.
ITV soap fans will witness Dawn’s dad return to Emmerdale to try and rekindle a relationship with Harriet and Dawn.
Dawn’s father held a vendetta against Harriet for the role she played in sending him to prison when she was a police officer.
Emmerdale’s new cast member issued a spine-tingling message to Harriet when he first entered the village.
When his daughter Dawn asked what the point in their torment was, Will said: “Oh, believe me, I know exactly what I’m going to do to her.”

Will continued: “She’s going to pay for what she took from me.
“I want her to know what it’s like to have your life turned upside down.
“To have everything you loved taken away from you. I mean, don’t you hate her for that?”
Dawn told her father she agreed with him and still resented Harriet for separating the pair when she was younger.
Her father went on to deliver a terrifying plan for Harriet, telling Dawn: “She needs to feel like a prisoner in her own home.
“Shut away from the world with nothing and nobody to help her. I want her so scared, so lonely that she has no life at all.
“And I want her to know that was me who did that to her.”
With Will’s reign of terror seemingly over, fans are keen to find out where they recognise the actor from.
