Emmerdale’s Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) should know better than to try and outsmart Kim Tate (Claire King) as he’s once again learned the hard way that no-one gets the better of the legendary businesswoman.
Will, as viewers know, is in cahoots with Peter – Kim’s former solicitor and ex – as part of a plot to try and take the Home Farm icon down once and for all.
Peter is working for someone – presumably a former nemesis of Kim’s – who is keen to destroy his adversary in the cruelest way possible, manipulating Will into organising a vow renewal for Christmas Day, which this mystery man will seemingly crash.
In order to ensure that nobody else was caught in the cross fire, Will attempted to convince Kim to have no guests at their vow renewal, claiming that such a thing would make it a special day just for the two of them.
Kim reluctantly agreed, much to the delight of Will, but things soon took an unexpected turn.
With Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) at the hospital to check on Evan, Kim popped down to visit her and, as the two got talking, Kim decided to throw caution to the wind, inviting Dawn and Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) to move back in to Home Farm.
With Dawn keen, Kim relayed such a thing to Will, who was noticeably shaken. Does this mean that Dawn will be present to witness his cruel and gutting betrayal of Kim on Christmas Day?
Or will he decide to pull the plug on the whole scheme?
That remains to be seen as, despite Dawn’s desire to move back to Home Farm, Billy wasn’t as keen, suggesting that they wait until after Christmas – and Evan’s first birthday – before making any such decisions.
Can Will reclaim the upper hand? Or has Kim unknowingly scuppered the whole Christmas revenge scheme?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX.
