ITV Emmerdale exit sealed for newcomer as fans 'work out' Kim Tate's killer plan

Emmerdale fans think death could be on the cards in the village after newcomer Rose (played by Christine Tremarco) was revealed to be Will Taylor's (Dean Andrews) ex-wife and Dawn Taylor's (Olivia Bromley) mum. At the end of Friday's episode, Rose came face-to-face with Will and Dawn, who told her mum exactly what she thought of her.

Will's wife, Kim Tate (Claire King) also stood by and watched and she didn't look happy that Rose had come back into her husband's life. While Will said they wouldn't have to see Rose again, Kim took a moment and warned Will that it wouldn't be the last they saw of her.

Fans took to X in droves to share their thoughts and theories, and while some think Kim could end up killing Rose, others think she could be linked to more than one villager. Someone else suggested the newcomer will be a match for baby Evan when he gets poorly in upcoming scenes.

"She'll end up in the Woolpack. Just like Ruby. #emmerdale," one fan suggested while another theorised: "#Emmerdale Kim's gonna bury her...."

A third person agreed: "Queen Kimberley is very good at making people disappear permanently, William, or have you already forgotten? #Emmerdale"

"Dawn’s mum Rose will be donor match for Evan who’s diagnosed with leukemia next week, she will want a big payday to do it.. that’s gonna be the running storyline here #Emmerdale," someone else stated.

"And now here’s Will's other daughter Ella," another said sharing another theory.

While one fan went on: "Wishful thinking will.. she will be saviour you need for Evan.. so predictable #Emmerdale."

Meanwhile, fans also think an affair could be on the cards after Tom King (James Chase) stirred up emotions when he was seen arguing with Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), who was visibly upset and disturbed by his obvious affection for Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham).

This comes as no surprise, given that Tom has been belittling and mocking her for months, including making fun of her family and dignity, while planting seeds of self-doubt about her life choices and career advancement.

However, the drama doesn't end there. Tom's domineering and controlling nature has been a consistent theme in their relationship.

His constant attempts to manipulate Belle, control her life, and isolate her from her loved ones have been clear.

One such failed attempt was his effort to drive a wedge between Belle and her close friend Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson)

In the latest episode, Belle was visibly upset as she was left alone all day with the dog while Tom took a day off work to spend time with his friend Vinny.

However, when she found them at the pub, she discovered Gabby had joined their "lads only" drinking session.

Tom then painted Belle as controlling, suggesting that she kept him on a tight leash and might "drag him home".

Is Tom just trying to make his wife jealous or could an affair be on the cards?

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV.
