Emmerdale aired a huge Kim Tate (Claire King) twist on Monday (November 25) as Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) was confirmed to be alive.

As fans of the ITV soap will know, last week Kim had tried to pay Will £100k to leave for good after their bitter split. But when he refused to leave Home Farm, Kim took drastic measures and blackmailed Ross Barton (Michael Parr) into helping her get rid of him, but it all went wrong.

When Will was attacked by Ross, he fell back and smacked his head on a rock and he appeared to be dead. During the latest trip to the village, Ross confessed he had killed Will to a shocked Kim leaving her full of regret.

Suddenly Will walked into Home Farm and confronted Kim, he quipped: "Surprised to see me, sweetheart?"
