Will Taylor has been left on edge after falling victim to a blackmail plot but as the scammer was revealed, viewers were predicting another villager is also behind the scheme

Emmerdale fans are convinced Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) is working alongside Kim Tate (Claire King) to extort Will Taylor as her revenge plot was revealed.

During Thursday’s trip to the village (September 19), Will (Dean Andrews) was left frantic after thinking his wife had been kidnapped.

He agreed to drop £50k to his blackmailer in return for keeping his romantic evening with Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco) a secret, but was left fearing for Kim’s life.

Will was led through a woodland as he searched for signs of Kim. He was greeted with a dummy of his wife before running toward a grave with Kim’s voice shouting “Help!”

In a panic, Will started to dig the grave out believing Kim was stuck at the bottom. But in a twist of fate, Will saw an empty coffin with his name on it containing a walkie-talkie, which is when Kim appeared and confirmed she was the blackmailer and knew about her husband’s secret.

Meanwhile, Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) was left suspicious after finding a stash of cash belonging to Billy despite the couple agonising over paying household bills.

But viewers think Kim isn’t acting alone and she is paying Billy to help in her revenge plot against her husband Will.

Taking to X, one viewer wrote: “Billy n kim gotta be in this together #emmerdale.” (sic)

A second added: “Billy’s acting sus, him and Queen Kim are working together and showing that Billy isn’t as unloyal to her as her husband or his daughter is. #Emmerdale.”

A third added: “Wonder if Billy is working with Kim? #Emmerdale.”

“I think Billy’s behind the blackmail. Or maybe Billy & Kim in it together. #Emmerdale”, wrote another.

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX
