Emmerdale: Kim Tate is Will Taylor's blackmailer
Emmerdale fans are convinced that the identity of Peter's enigmatic boss has been 'unveiled' - and it's neither Joe nor Jamie Tate. Peter (played by David Michaels) arrived in the Dales this year, amidst the tumultuous split between Kim Tate (Claire King) and Will (Dean Andrews).
In an attempt to keep her fortune out of Will's grasp, Kim enlisted the help of financial advisor Peter. The duo ended up in bed together in a bid to incite jealousy in Will, a plan which worked as he angrily confronted Peter.
However, Kim recently decided to end her feud with Will and halt their divorce proceedings, realising she still harboured feelings for him. Will reciprocated these feelings and the pair swiftly reignited their romance, even planning to renew their vows on Christmas Day.
But a shocking twist revealed that Peter and Will have been secretly working together for months to bring down Kim. Moreover, Peter isn't acting alone - he's collaborating with a mysterious individual intent on destroying Kim's life.
Little is known about this person, other than they are male and currently overseas. Even Will was taken aback when he discovered another party was involved in his scheme with Peter, reports Leeds Live.

On an Emmerdale fan page on Facebook, one viewer speculated: "Kim is really playing Will. She's always one step ahead in the game ... I just love her."
Echoing this sentiment, another fan praised: "She's one Smart Cookie! Love her! " A third fan suggested the show might have dropped a clue about Kim being the mastermind after she exchanged a telling glance with Will, commenting, "Definitely! A look she gave him the other day made me suspicious." This was supported by another who concurred: "She knows what he is up to."
