Emmerdale icon Kim Tate may be set for a surprise pregnancy in upcoming scenes – and fans think they’ve worked out who the real father is.
Emmerdale’s Kim Tate, played by Claire King, could be in for a shock pregnancy, and fans believe they’ve figured out who the real father is.
The iconic character of Kim first graced the Dales in 1989 and quickly became one of the most memorable characters on the show.
Claire left the soap in 1999 to pursue other opportunities but made a triumphant return 20 years later. Over the years, her character has been at the centre of some of the biggest storylines on the show.
From steamy affairs to even staging her own death, Kim’s time in the Dales has been anything but dull. Currently, she’s going through a particularly tumultuous period.
Fans will remember that earlier this year, Kim’s husband Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) had an affair with his ex-wife Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco). A mysterious individual then blackmailed Will, threatening to reveal his indiscretion to Kim unless he paid £50k.
In a shocking twist, it was revealed that the blackmailer was none other than Kim herself, who was fully aware of Will’s infidelity. Upon discovering the truth, Will was stunned, reports Leeds Live.
Kim has since demanded a divorce, but Will is determined to ruin her. As he battles his ex-wife, Will is intent on claiming half of Kim’s wealth, despite their prenuptial agreement. Naturally, Kim is ready to fight tooth and nail to protect her assets.
She also seemed to engage in a dalliance with her financial adviser Peter, much to Will’s chagrin. This week, a bitter Will retaliated by drowning his sorrows and having a tryst with Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton), another local in the village.

Now, audiences are anticipating further turmoil as they speculate that a shock pregnancy plot may emerge for Kim.
Voicing their predictions online, one viewer commented: “I think Will has definitely burnt his bridges with Kym now. How disrespectful!” Another joined the conversation saying: “It wouldn’t surprise me if Kim ends up pregnant and there’s a who’s the daddy storyline.”
A third chimed in: “Yes to this! It is soap land after all.” Someone else added fuel to the speculation, asserting: “My money’s on Paul being the dad.”
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
