Emmerdale fans are convinced that a deadly fire will break out at Home Farm after Kim Tate’s threat, with one villager set to be killed off.

Emmerdale has teased that a lethal inferno is set to engulf Kim Tate’s Home Farm with a shock death ‘sealed.’

The grand estate has been central to the show for years, but Kim (Claire King) has faced a tumultuous time of late in the beloved village. In a shocking twist last week, it was disclosed that Kim orchestrated the blackmail scheme tormenting her unfaithful spouse Will Taylor, portrayed by Dean Andrews.

Audiences were reminded that Will had been tormented over his illicit tryst with former partner Rose, acted by Christine Tremarco, earlier in the year. The plot thickened in ‘true’ dramatic soap style when Kim owned up to her machinations. In a tense scene, Will, duped into believing Kim had been abducted, found himself in the forest digging what he feared was Kim’s grave.

However, Kim emerged, pushed him into the pit, and confessed her deceit before absconding with the £40,000 ransom Will had carried.

Will, clearly incensed by the betrayal, has sworn vengeance. In the episode aired on Monday (September 23), tensions escalated between Kim and Will, with Will even attempting to sell her cherished horses, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Later, an enraged Kim summoned her financial adviser Peter to Home Farm seeking advice on thwarting Will’s plans. “A prenup isn’t as watertight as you might think,” Peter ominously advised.

He issued a stern warning to Kim that any action against Will would come at a high price. However, Kim remained unfazed as she declared: “This place, means everything to me. I’ve taken a lot of risks. I’ve made so many sacrifices.”

In a cryptic hint suggesting another shocking fire could be on the horizon, Kim ominously stated: “I’d rather torch it all than let him take anything.”

Could Kim resort to arson to prevent Will from claiming her wealth? And could this lead to Will’s demise?

Fans are already speculating that Will is headed for an early grave. “You’ll end up dead will ….. check her history a bit more lol” one viewer posted on X. Another added: “Kim should kill Will at this point.”

A third joined in: “C’mon Kim. Put him back in the ground and this time bulldoze a ton of earth on him,” someone else suggested.
