ITV Emmerdale fans ‘expose’ Kim Tate’s secret accomplice as unlikely villager
Emmerdale fans are convinced Billy Fletcher is working with Kim Tate to extort Will Taylor as her revenge plot was exposed during Thursday's episode
Emmerdale enthusiasts reckon they’ve cracked the code, suspecting that Billy Fletcher (played by Jay Kontzle) is in cahoots with Kim Tate (the legendary Claire King) to squeeze Will Taylor for cash as part of her devious revenge scheme.
In Thursday’s dramatic episode (September 19), frantic Will (Dean Andrews) was in the right state, thinking his wife Kim had been kidnapped.
He was blackmailed into coughing up £50k to keep his little rendezvous with Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco) hush-hush, but instead of saving his beloved Kim, he found himself in the middle of a prank.
Will was lured into the woods on a wild goose chase for Kim. He stumbled upon a mannequin version of his wife and then legged it towards a grave with Kim’s voice screaming “Help!”
In a blind panic, Will dug like mad, fearing Kim was buried alive. But what he found was an empty coffin with his own name on it and a walkie-talkie inside that’s when Kim rocked up, revealing she was the mastermind behind the blackmail and knew all about his dirty little secret, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Meanwhile, Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) discovered a wad of notes stashed away by Billy, despite them both fretting over their bills.
But the fans are convinced Kim’s not flying solo on this one they’re betting Billy’s been roped in to help with her vendetta against hubby Will.
One eagle-eyed fan took to X, posting: “Billy n Kim gotta be in this together #emmerdale.” (sic).
Another chimed in: “Billy’s acting sus, him and Queen Kim are working together and showing that Billy isn’t as unloyal to her as her husband or his daughter is. #Emmerdale.”
A third fan speculated: “Wonder if Billy is working with Kim? #Emmerdale.”
Another viewer suggested: “I think Billy’s behind the blackmail. Or maybe Billy and Kim in it together. #Emmerdale”.
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX
