Emmerdale viewers are certain that Kim Tate will end up killing her husband Will Taylor after he refused to sign over his shares of her businesses

Emmerdale enthusiasts are speculating that Kim Tate, portrayed by Claire King, might resort to murder after her spouse’s deceit.

The tension escalated in Friday’s episode between Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) and his wife Kim when it was disclosed that she was the mastermind behind the blackmail at Home Farm.

Kim had previously forced Will to dig what appeared to be his own grave upon discovering his affair with ex-wife Rose (Christina Tremarco). Despite Will’s pleas for forgiveness, a betrayal of Kim usually means there’s no turning back.

Later at Home Farm, Kim found herself at a disadvantage when Will refused to sign over the documents that would return her businesses to her. This raises the question: could Kim lose everything?

“I have given you everything,” an enraged Kim told Will. “I have done things for you that would keep most people awake at night,” reports Leeds Live.

“And in return you have lied, cheated, you have stolen. You can sit there as long as you like listing every mistake that I have ever done, but I have never once betrayed you.”

She continued: “Nothing matters anymore, we are done and we both know it.”

As she slid the papers across for Will to sign, he stood up, said “No,” and walked away. The scene closed with Kim removing her wedding rings, signaling the end of their marriage.

Social media has been abuzz with fan theories and predictions, with many believing that Kim will ultimately eliminate Will, leading to his dramatic departure from the show.

“You cheated Will. Now pay the consequences,” one fan wrote on social media, while another commented: “You deserve everything you’re gonna get Will!!! Queen Kim is back in the building.”

A third chimed in with: “Kim should kill Will at this point.”

“C’mon Kim. Put him back in the ground and this time bulldoze a ton of earth on him,” was another suggestion from an invested viewer.

“Kim get rid of him now,” urged a fifth fan, as another drew parallels to past drama: “This storyline tonight is giving me Chris Tate vibes!”

The speculation about Will’s fate continued with one person stating: “Will’s exit looms,” while another pleaded: “Just kill him, Kim. #Emmerdale.”

In other parts of the episode, Ruby Milligan (Beth Cordingly) grappled with her mother’s passing. Unbeknownst to Ruby, her husband Caleb Milligan (Will Ash) had extorted £100k from her mother the day before, pressuring her to visit her in hospital.

Tragically, by the time Ruby reached the hospital, it was too late; her estranged mother had died.

Meanwhile, Ruby’s ongoing efforts to raise their daughter Stephanie sparked curiosity among fans, leading them to wonder about the child’s identity and whether she will make an appearance in the village soon.

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV.
