Emmerdale fans are convinced they have worked out the identity of Will Taylor’s mysterious blackmailer after a series of chilling threats have left him terrified.
Emmerdale viewers are absolutely sure that the enigmatic blackmailer making Will Taylor’s life a misery is none other than Lydia Dingle.
At the beginning of the year, Will, portrayed by Dean Andrews, found himself embroiled in a fiery love affair with former wife Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco).
While it seemed Rose sought a reunion with her distant daughter Dawn (Olivia Bromley) she was actually immersed in a devious scheme alongside Ruby (Beth Cordingly) aiming to shatter Kim Tate’s world.
Claire King brings to life the formidable Kim (Claire King), who had no clue about her husband Will’s amorous transgressions.
Kim, ever the iron lady, gave Rose the boot from the village without ever guessing the infidelity under her nose. Nevertheless, the ghosts of Will’s indiscretion are now shadowing him in the form of anonymous threats to disclose his clandestine affair with Rose.
A foreboding flower bouquet with the message “I know what you did” suddenly surfaced on Will’s doorsteps, followed by hefty money demands.
On Friday’s thrilling episode (September 13), the blackmailer intensified their tactics, propelling Will to probe into an intrusion at Home Farm, reports Leeds Live.
Yet a twist ensued when Kim divulged the theft of her cherished horse, subtly insinuating that will might be privy to the identity of the crafty culprit.
However, many fans are betting on Lydia Dingle, played by Karen Blick, as being behind the blackmail, citing her intimate knowledge of Home Farm’s inner workings.

Emmerdale enthusiasts have been fervently speculating on Reddit about the mysterious blackmailer’s identity, leading to some intriguing suggestions.
One user chimed in with a desire for an unexpected twist: “I want it to be Lydia.”
This prompted another to support the idea, saying: “It’s about time she was upgraded to a crime boss, befitting the tradition of the Dingle family.”
Joining in with the speculation, a third fan commented: “Deffo I could see her now ruling the village haha.”

The discussion then took another turn as one devotee pointed out: “I think it’s Kim. Lydia obviously told her and she is getting revenge”, while another boldly asserted, “Only b**** in Emmerdale is Lydia”.
Finally, one viewer couldn’t resist expressing their excitement at a dramatic potential alliance: “Can you imagine Lydia and Kim teaming up to take down Will? ? They will be a force to be reckoned with. The Queen of b****es! “.
