ITV Emmerdale fans have 'proof' Kim is 'stitching Will up' - and she's not working alone

Emmerdale enthusiasts are convinced that Kim Tate is in cahoots with a surprising partner to bring down her unfaithful spouse Will Taylor.

In previous episodes, viewers saw Will (played by Dean Andrews) betray Kim by having a dalliance with his former partner Rose Jackson (portrayed by Christine Tremarco). Rose had made an unexpected return to the village earlier this year, seemingly attempting to mend ties with her distant relatives, which includes her daughter Dawn, played by Olivia Bromley.

The plot twisted when it was unveiled that Rose was actually scheming with Ruby (Beth Cordingly) against Kim. When Kim discovered Rose's antagonistic intentions, she ousted Rose from the village, unaware of her tryst with Will, who is currently Kim's husband.

More recently, however, Will began to be tormented by demands for hush money regarding his secret tryst with Rose. The mystery commenced with an enigmatic bouquet of flowers sent to Will, accompanied by a note stating: "I know what you did."

Yet, the audience is almost certain that Kim is privy to the entire situation and is orchestrating the extortion scheme. Adding to the intrigue, there is speculation that she has colluded with an unforeseen character, and the fans claim they have 'proof, reports Leeds Live.

During the episode broadcast on Friday, September 13, as the extortionist escalated their game, a rattled Will learnt about a break-in at Home Farm. A police detective arrived on the scene, heightening Will's concerns for Kim's wellbeing.

However, things took a turn when Kim showed up, only to disclose that her treasured horse had been stolen. Upon interrogation by the detective, Kim insinuated that perhaps Will might possess some insight into the culprit's identity.

After a significant clue was dropped, Emmerdale enthusiasts are now convinced that Kim is in cahoots with the detective to bring down Will. On an Emmerdale Facebook fan group, one viewer noted that the detective's badge was intentionally obscured, preventing fans from seeing his identity.

One fan speculated: "Did anybody notice the 'detectives' badge was turned round so nobody could see his name etc? Definitely Kim out for revenge". In response, another chimed in: "I don't think he is a policeman. He's on Kim's payroll."

Another member of the group suggested: "I said at the time he's a fake and no copper would let themselves in and sit there waiting for you! Clearly a set up by Kim to catch out weak Will! Cannot wait!" Supporting this theory, someone else declared: "She's stitching Will up. Testing his loyalty."
