ITV Emmerdale fans 'work out' Kim Tate 'exit' as Will Taylor bombshell is exposed

Emmerdale viewers were treated to a jaw-dropping twist regarding Kim Tate (played by Claire King) on Monday's episode (November 25), when it transpired that Will Taylor (portrayed by Dean Andrews) was indeed alive.

In a dramatic storyline, the ITV soap had Kim attempting to buy Will off with £100k to move on from their turbulent split. Will's refusal to leave Home Farm led to Kim taking extreme measures, and she sought the help of Ross Barton (Michael Parr) to drive him away a plan that spiralled out of control.

The situation intensified when Ross attacked Will, leading to a fall where he hit his head on a rock, seemingly ending his life. The latest visit to the Dales saw Ross admit his actions to a remorse-stricken Kim, thinking he'd killed Will.

Then came the shocker - Will made an unexpected entrance at Home Farm, to Kim's astonishment, cheekily remarking: "Surprised to see me, sweetheart?".

Post attack, it emerged Will had regained consciousness and once more pledged to bring Kim down. However, seeing Will alive unearthed old feelings, and Kim declared her love as they both made their way upstairs, reports Leeds Live.

Just when it seemed like danger had rekindled their romance, another twist was thrown into the storyline.

Will's later rendezvous with Kim's financial consultant and romantic interest Peter uncovered a secretive plot; the duo had been scheming together in secret phone exchanges.

Despite their plans against Kim, Will ultimately expressed a desire to cease the treachery.

Peter then warned Will, saying: "I told you I was working to bring Kim down. You swore that's what you wanted too. Have you any idea how much time, money and effort it took to pull together that dossier on Kim?"

He sternly vowed to expose Will's deception to Kim should he renege on their original vendetta. Following the revelation of Will and Peters elaborate scheme on Emmerdale, viewers have expressed concern over Kim's well-being.

One viewer took to social media, posting: "Didn't actually see this coming. Here was me thinking Kim should be with her solicitor, but he's been working to take Kim down all along #Emmerdale."

Another fan was shocked: "OMG! ! ! Kim's lawyer was hustling her all this time.. WTF is going on #emmerdale."

A different user declared, "There is no way Kim phoned to stop the divorce it's part of her games. I hope will doesn't phone to cancel it. It's about time someone takes Kim on and plays her at her own games. #Emmerdale."

So Kim's lawyer was hustling her all this time. Great twist #Emmerdale", one enthusiast remarked while another commented: "He doesn't believe you Will. #Emmerdale."

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
