Kim & Frank Tate’s Secret Love Child Exposed – And They’re Already in the Village
Emmerdale fans are convinced that Kim Tate has a secret love child - and they think they know who it is, as they also believe the character lives in the village
Emmerdale fans are convinced that Kim Tate has a secret love child who is currently residing in the village.
Kim, played by Claire King, has been a mainstay on the soap since 1989. Known as the village’s femme fatale, she has been involved in numerous major plotlines. From her various feuds to staging her own death, Kim’s tenure in the Dales has been anything but drama-free over the years.
She’s also had her fair share of high-profile romances – from her affair and subsequent marriage to Frank Tate (Norman Bowler) to her recent fling with Will Taylor (Dean Andrews), her romantic escapades have often been the talk of the town.
However, viewers are now speculating that Kim may have a secret love child that no one knows about – and they believe they’ve ‘figured out’ who it is. In the late 80s, Kim famously embarked on an affair with Frank Tate while working as his secretary, reports Leicestershire Live.
At that time, he was married to Jean, but after her death, Kim and Frank got hitched. The couple welcomed a son, Jamie, in 1996. However, Frank d.i.e.d of a heart attack in 1997, triggered by Kim’s unexpected return to the village after being presumed dead.
In what could be a game-changing twist, fans are predicting that Kim had another secret child with Frank in the 80s. Moreover, viewers are convinced that this child, now grown up, is living in the well-known village.
Online buzz among fans suggests that John Sugden (played by Oliver Farnworth) may be a secret love child. Ever since he appeared last year, viewers have been trying to suss out the true identity of this enigmatic character.
Lately, as John Sugden’s darker side has seemingly emerged in the midst of Anthony Fox’s (portrayed by Nicholas Day) m.u.r.d.e.r and subsequent cover-up, fan theories have started to intensify.
The speculation is heating up with fans positing he might be the hidden offspring of Kim and Frank. A fan speculated on an Emmerdale Facebook fan page: “Something really ‘off’ with that John. Proper shady…”, sparking a flurry of responses in the comments section.
Conversations among fans in the comments led to the suggestion: “Probs going to come out that he’s Kim’s secret love child.” Echoing this sentiment, another concurred: “100% something to do with Kim I just have a feeling.”
Additional reactions included: “Oh wow never thought about that good call!” and another stating: “It is soap land after all, and they could easily pretend Kim gave it up for adoption or something!”
