One mystery individual has taken aim at Will Taylor in Emmerdale, bombarding him with eerie messages. But over on social media, soap viewers know who is rattling him.

Will Taylor is facing an anonymous blackmailer – but Emmerdale viewers believe they know who it could be.

The character portrayed by Dean Andrews was involved in pushing Rose Jackson out of the eponymous ITV village, after it was revealed he had cheated on his wife Kim Tate (played by Claire King) – but things have since spiralled out of control as his daughter Dawn (Olivia Bromley) discovered what he had done.

To top it all off, Kim has left Emmerdale for a business trip to Dubai, leaving her husband alone to face the consequences of his actions. During Monday’s (September 2, 2024) instalment of the Yorkshire-based programme, Will was seen struggling as he was receiving ominous messages from an unknown sender.

Over on social media such as Reddit, however, viewers at home believe they know who is harassing and blackmailing Will as one suggested: “I think it’s Kim who’s blackmailing will 100%.”

Multiple other soap viewers immediately jumped on to the discussion over in the comments as they agreed with the theory. A second fan penned, believing Will and Kim’s marriage may be headed for the rocks: “Yeah. Pretty obvious. The finance guy she is meeting with is to help her get out of the marriage without giving Will a penny.”

Another continued: “Yeah they’ve not been very subtle about it.” A third chimed in: “Definitely…. I’ll be surprised if it isn’t Kim. She’s got him by the short and curlys which is why she keeps asking him has he anything to tell her….. Good luck Will!…… Mwuhahaha!!”

A fourth commented: “That’s what I thought..she can judge from his reaction and behaviour if he has anything to feel guilty about”, while a final TV watcher argued: “I’m thinking it’s either Kim or rose that’s blackmailing him.”

Kim isn’t one to shy away from brutal revenge, as long-term Emmerdale viewers will remember how she watched her own husband Frank Tate succumb to a heart attack, ending their volatile marriage and showing off her vengeful streak. More recently, Kim was somewhat responsible for the death of Lydia Dingle’s rapist, Craig Reed.

In a surprising twist, Kim shares this secret with her former foe Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) as the pair left Craig’s lifeless body on a field, before the Home Farm owner let her horse, Ice, the real culprit, flee the Dales in emotional scenes. But could she be trying to play a trick on Will, as she has yet to return to the village?

While this remains to be confirmed, another recent theory has claimed that multiple characters could have a score to settle with Will. Viewers have questioned whether Jai Sharma, who teamed up with Caleb recently, could be behind the campaign. Others have questioned whether his son-in-law Billy Fletcher could be to blame, on behalf of Dawn.

But the key theory is that Ruby and Caleb are out to get Will, once again targeting him and Kim to get their hands on their money. So are Ruby or Caleb sending the messages?
