  • DS Foy must become a permanent character – and get with Ella, Emmerdale fans demand

    DS Foy must become a permanent character – and get with Ella, Emmerdale fans demand

    Emmerdale detective DS Foy has become our hero in recent weeks as he fought to bring Tom King to justice. And finally it looks like he’s done it. Phew!

    It was clear he believed Belle’s domestic abuse allegations from the start and he has fought her corner the whole way. Even as Tom tried to manipulate him, it became obvious that wasn’t going to work.

    All hail DS Foy!

    In fact, fans are so impressed with him they have demanded from the start he becomes a permanent character. And some are even coming up with romance storylines for him – with child killer, Ella Forster! A copper and a killer? That’s an interesting mix!

    Detective Foy in Emmerdale

    As soon as he heard rumours that Belle had been abused by Tom it was obvious DS Foy felt there was some truth in it. Last month he gently questioned Belle over her involvement in Tom’s axe attack and even though it was clear she was lying, he could see a frightened woman and didn’t probe too hard.

    After doing a deal with Belle that he wouldn’t tell the police the truth, Tom then told DS Foy he was mugged with a very elaborate story about the horrors he had been through. But at the same time, Belle had double-crossed him and handed herself into the cop shop. She’d dug up the axe and revealed herself to be the victim of domestic abuse.

    DS Foy arrested Tom for coercive and controlling behaviour. Although Tom insisted Belle was the abusive one and her mental health was the problem. But it was very clear to viewers DS Foy did not believe a word Tom was saying.

    As Tom continued to try and outwit the police, he attempted to destroy incriminating footage of him spying on Belle. But Foy and his team recovered it and announced on Wednesday (November 27) they had enough to charge Tom. At last!

    And tonight (Thursday November 28) Foy will be the hero again when Tom tries to avoid justice.

    Fans love Foy!

    DS Foy was a big hit with fans last time round – and it’s fair to say he still is!

    “Please, Emmerdale, keep Detective Foy,” begged one fan on social media. Another agreed: “DS Foy needs to be a regular character!” Athird added: “Now, how can we get Foy written into every storyline forever?”

    Others speculated on a possible romantic connection if he does stick around.

    “Can we have Ds Foy as a love interest for someone?” asked one. Someone else said: “Whoever in the village gets to [bleep] DS Foy is a lucky [bleep]!!”

    A third suggested: “Det Ella on the case. Get it on with silver fox Det Foy!” referring to Ella’s ‘investigation’ into whether Liam is sleeping with Chas.

    A fourth said: “Make him a regular! Have him marry Leyla!” which might be a bit impossible, given she’s rumoured to be leaving…

  • Joe Tate working with Peter to get revenge on Kim?

    Joe Tate working with Peter to get revenge on Kim?

    Someone is once again crossing the iconic Kim Tate, but could it be her own family? As fans predict a return to Emmerdale for Joe Tate.

    The son of Chris Tate, Joe, was last seen in the village in 2018. He had a shock exit after Kim ordered him to be killed when he got to cosy at Home Farm.

    Joe had a near-fatal run in with Cain Dingle and allowed him to believe he had actually killed him.

    Emmerdale Joe Tate return?

    For months that followed, fans believed that Emmerdale’s Joe was actually dead. But then a shock twist revealed that in reality, Graham Foster helped him go on the run.

    His abrupt exit left loose ends, especially when it came to his feud with the Queen of Home Farm. Since 2018 there have been few mentions of Joe, but fans have been awaiting his return.

    As Kim and Will’s storyline continues to take many twists and turns – could Joe be the mastermind behind Peter’s ‘Operation Destroy Kim Tate’?

    Viewers recently discovered that Will was working with Kim’s financial advisor, Peter, to take her down. But when he decided he wanted out, the newbie refused to let him.

    Then a phone call with an unknown person revealed Peter was actually working with someone else.

    Theories immediately began swarming around social media as to who is out to get Kim, and everyone agrees it makes sense for it to be someone we already know. And one name that’s thrown around a lot; Joe Tate.

    Fans predict Joe Tate is getting revenge

    Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal their predictions.

    One wrote: “But who is the puppet master? Please be Joe Tate.”

    Another added: “Are we finally getting Joe Tate’s revenge?”

    “‘Operation destroy Kim is back on track’ Oh Peter! Which Tate are you working for? It has to be Joe, right?”, a third fan penned.

    Other fans pointed out similarity between Peter and Graham, strengthening their belief that Joe is the one behind it.

    A viewer wrote: “Peter is giving Graham vibes. So Joe Tate could be the mastermind? It makes sense that he would trust someone who reminds him of Graham. Maybe Peter knew him too.”

    While at this point it is unknown who the mystery caller was, there are definitely some good theories that indicate Joe could be behind it.

    After six years, are we finally getting his highly anticipated return?

  • What on earth is going on in the baffling Kim and Will storyline? Plot unravelled including all the fan theories

    What on earth is going on in the baffling Kim and Will storyline? Plot unravelled including all the fan theories

    Sometimes soaps air a storyline that has so many twists and turns that it’s hard for anybody to keep up. That seems to be the case with the current Emmerdale Kim and Will storyline.

    Kim and Will used to be one of the stronger couples in the Dales. But in soap fashion, Emmerdale decided to tear them apart.

    However, in doing so it has created an extremely baffling storyline that fans feel has gone on for too long.

    Are Kim and Will together again? Who is playing who? And is Will just impossible to kill? Here is a round-up of what’s going on, including fan theories on what’s to come.

    Kim and Will talk about getting back together - Emmerdale

    Emmerdale Kim and Will – what’s happened

    Emmerdale’s Kim and Will were a perfectly happily married couple. Fans were enjoying seeing them live their lives as a team. But when the show introduced Dawn’s mother, Rose, Will couldn’t resist going back to his past for a one-night stand.

    Obviously this was not going to ever go down well with the iconic Kim Tate. And so when Will kept receiving blackmail messages, he never considered it could be his wife – but it was.

    Eventually the couple decided to call time on their romance. But the end of their love story marked the beginning of a war.

    The nasty divorce proceedings led Kim to hiring a financial advisor, Peter. The two then had a romantic encounter which led to Will confronting him.

    Not wanting Will to get his hands on her wealth, Kim also teamed up with recently returned Ross Barton to remove her husband from the village.

    While she didn’t mean Ross should kill him – that’s what he almost did – until Will rocked up at Home Farm, alive and angry.

    Kim was shocked at her own happiness at seeing Will alive, and the couple called time on their feud and their divorce, to give their relationship another go.

    But in another huge twist, viewers saw Will meet up with Peter revealing they had secretly been working together to bring Kim down. When Will informed him he wanted out, Peter reminded him that wasn’t possible.

    After Ross informed Will of how Kim’s main concern was covering up his death when she thought he was gone, Will began to question if Peter was right. And so once again, Will is working against Kim.

    And fans were treated to a mysterious phone call between Peter and an unknown person talking about “Operation destroy Kim.” But who was on the other line?

    Kim and Will theories in Emmerdale

    Kim’s playing him

    While many fans believe the back and forth between them is unnecessary and there was no need to wreck their relationship, many have thought of theories that could put Emmerdale queen Kim Tate on top.

    After last night’s reveal that Will is still working against Kim, fans can’t help but think she is actually the one playing him. Because how could Kim Tate fall for his lies?

    One wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Kim’s too smart for this. She must be playing Will at his own game.”

    Another agreed: “This is deffo Kim’s plan. Will is just falling for it.”

    “Kim must be playing Will. She can’t really be back with him,” another fan pleaded.

    So is Kim really the mastermind behind the whole thing? And has she realised if she wants Will out of the village, she has to do it herself?

    Are the Tates involved?

    Other fan theories include Peter teaming up with other Tate members to take Kim down. Some who live in the village and others who don’t.

    When Caleb first arrived in 2022, it was revealed he was the son of Frank Tate and that he was there to get what he felt belonged to him. This led to a feud between him and Kim, and while he may have failed the first time, could he be attempting another takedown?

    Or could Peter actually be teaming up with Kim’s son, Jamie Tate? He is currently in hiding with his daughter, Millie, after faking his own death to get away from Kim. So does he want to come back to the village, but he knows he needs rid of his mother first?

    Although a different much-loved Tate could be wanting to take back Home Farm. Fan favourite Joe Tate is still out there somewhere, and he still has a score to settle with Kim – so could it be him? Fans have been saying he needs to make a comeback..

    While there could be many different outcomes, fans hope they don’t have long to wait to find out who the mastermind is.

  • 4 Fresh plot holes in Tom King’s story from last night’s episode: ‘How did she not see him?’

    4 Fresh plot holes in Tom King’s story from last night’s episode: ‘How did she not see him?’

    Tom King’s reign of terror over Belle is coming to an end soon. For months fans of Emmerdale have watched as he abused his wife, angry that he got away with it for so long.

    While Emmerdale bosses openly admitted they wanted the storyline to represent real life, and were going to make sure it was played out accurately, viewers couldn’t help but notice some plot holes – especially in last night’s episode of the soap.

    During the episode (Tuesday November 26), Belle returned home, finally feeling like she was in a better place to tackle what’s to come.

    But that didn’t last long as Tom snuck into her house whilst she was upstairs having a self-care day, and stole her top.

    However, the fact he managed to even get into the house without anyone seeing is something Emmerdale fans don’t understand.

    Here are some fresh plot holes from Emmerdale’s Tom King storyline, all from last night’s episode.

    Emmerdale Tom plot holes 1. Belle left the door unlocked

    Belle decided to stay at home, to ease herself back into village life. But after she made it clear to her family that she was still scared of Tom, fans are confused as to why she never locked the door.

    Fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their confusion.

    One wrote: “Surely if Belle was going to be home alone she would have locked her doors? She knows what he is capable of.”

    Another added: “How come none of her family told her to lock the doors or stayed with her? Tom’s still around.”

    “Belle is so worried about Tom that she didn’t lock her doors. No-one seems to lock their doors”, a third penned.

    2. Tom broke in during daylight

    Emmerdale village has a lot of residents, and it’s a fairly small area. Usually someone would be walking around outside. So, how exactly was Tom able to sneak into the Jacob’s Fold cottage without being seen?

    The position of the cottage is also quite close to the shop and the mechanics – so was nobody at any of these places?

    One fan wrote: “Again, nobody can see invisible Tom. He can walk right in without anyone noticing.”

    Another penned: “Tom entered the house in broad daylight. He wasn’t seen by any of the nosey villagers who are usually hovering around outside. That doesn’t make sense.”

    “Invisible Tom is back. He can walk into any house in the village without anyone seeing him”, a third fan commented.

    3. Belle didn’t spot Tom

    Belle came back downstairs to grab some of her clothes from her suitcase. But she failed to spot Tom who was standing beside the door, very close to her.

    Fans don’t believe this made sense at all, as it would have been very easy to spot him.

    One wrote: “How did Belle not see Tom? He is standing right there.”

    Another joked: “I think Belle might need to go to Specsavers. How did she miss him?”

    4. Amelia had no suspicions about the top

    Tom’s level of creepy went up another scale last night. He stole Belle’s top and gave it to Amelia as a present. From the looks of it, he is trying to recreate Belle using Amelia.

    But, Amelia had no queries about the top she received. With no tag, receipt or label, she just accepted her gift. But viewers agree this doesn’t make sense.

    An Emmerdale viewer wrote: “How does Amelia not see the top wasn’t new? It had no tags on it. Does she think does he’s shopping for her at charity shops?”

    “So Amelia just takes the top off Tom that is unwrapped with no bag or receipt. It most definitely doesn’t smell like a new top. This is really ridiculous now,” another annoyed fan posted.

  • Peter working with other Tates to destroy Kim?

    Peter working with other Tates to destroy Kim?

    Fans of Emmerdale have predicted that Peter is working with other members of the Tate family to bring down Kim. The soap revealed the other night (Monday, November 25) that Will has been working with dodgy solicitor Peter in his vendetta against Kim.

    Will is having second thoughts about their plan, but Peter won’t be so easily deterred. He remains set on his plot to destroy Kim Tate.

    But is Peter working alone – and, if not, are there other Tates waiting in the wings?

    Emmerdale fans predict more Tates are behind plot to destroy Kim

    As these scenes aired, fans took to social media to share their theories about Peter and his plan for Kim.

    “All I can think of is something to do with Joseph Tate. He has beef with Kim and also a character is returning at Christmas?,” suggested one viewer in a Reddit thread.

    “Peter is going to bring other Tates in, isn’t he? Jamie or Joe coming back would be wild. Jean coming back would be MEGA Tate!,” another said.

    “Joe? Jamie? Another scorned lover?,” asked a third.

    “Could be Jamie, Joe – someone to do with Graham that he’s working for?,” another viewer asked, invoking the name of Kim’s other ex, Graham Foster.

    Who is Peter working for?

    Peter and Will’s plot to destroy Kim follows Caleb’s arrival in the village in December 2022. Soon afterwards, the soap revealed that Caleb was the long lost son of Frank Tate. He initially came to the village looking to take back what he felt was his heritage from Kim.

    Caleb’s plan ultimately came to naught, with Kim coming out victorious – and Caleb being pushed off a cliff as payback for all of his wrongdoing.

    Caleb may have been a dud, but are there other Tates waiting in the wings? Of the once mighty Emmerdale dynasty, there are certainly plenty of candidates who could be responsible.

    A popular fan theory is that her son Jamie is overdue a return – last seen in 2021, the character is currently in hiding with his daughter, Millie, having faked his own death after attempting to poison mum Kim.

    Another possible candidate is Chris Tate’s son, Joe. He hasn’t been seen since 2018, after a near-fatal run-in with Cain Dingle. Could Jamie or Joe be set to make a comeback?

  • As Kim reunites with Will, who was the ‘other love of her life?’

    As Kim reunites with Will, who was the ‘other love of her life?’

    Last night’s episode of Emmerdale saw Kim and Will finally bury the hatchet to give their relationship another go. This came as Will survived Ross’s attack – having joined forces to convince her that he’d been killed.

    In spite of Will’s deceit, the couple managed to settle their differences. After Kim admitted that she just wanted to end all the arguing, they fell into a passionate kiss – and agreed to give their marriage another go.

    And the pair remained loved-up tonight (Tuesday, November 27). As she filled Dawn in on recent events, Kim even went so far as to describe Will as one of the only two men she’d ever loved. No, we don’t see it either, but whatever floats your boat, Kim.

    But who was the other love of Kim Tate’s life?

    The ‘other’ love of Kim Tate’s life – who was Dave Glover on Emmerdale?

    Speaking to the Metro back in 2020, actor Claire King, who plays Kim Tate, revealed who she thinks first stole Kim’s heart… and no, it wasn’t her husband, Frank Tate.

    According to Claire, Dave Glover was the only man to steal Kim’s heart. A member of a local ‘roving gypsy clan,’ Dave had a steamy affair with Kim behind the back of his partner, Kathy Glover and Kim’s husband, Frank.

    During their affair, Kim fell pregnant with her son, James. It was then that Frank offered Kim £1million to leave Dave, also forbidding his love rival from contact with baby James (who he believed was his own.)

    They resumed their relationship while he was engaged to Kathy, planning to leave the village together. However, their relationship came to an abrupt end when a fire broke out in James’s nursery – trapping Dave, who later died of his injuries.

    “He was her one,” reveals Claire King

    Speaking to the Metro at the time, Claire said: “I honestly believe that he was [her true love]. I think she still believes that it was possibly Dave’s baby. Frank went to get a test done but he had to bribe them so there’s still that grey area although Jamie thinks Frank’s his father and Kim’s let that ride.”

    “I think in her heart of heart she still thinks there’s a possibility it could be his. He was definitely the love of her life up until Graham.”

    “With his death you’ve seen how affected she was by it and she’s realised she didn’t make her feelings known to him as she should have done, as she really did care for him but I doubt as much as she did for Dave, I think it’s fair to say Dave was her one.”

  • Moira’s major brain surgery has got fans talking – but not for the reason you think

    Moira’s major brain surgery has got fans talking – but not for the reason you think

    Moira Dingle’s brain surgery has been the talk of the town with Emmerdale fans for weeks now. Last week saw Moira undergo surgery to remove a dangerous brain tumour.

    As she went under, touching scenes saw her reunite with late daughter Holly. Meanwhile, in the real world, husband Cain was coping less well – cheating on Moira with his own sister-in-law, Ruby.

    Between Moira’s successful surgery and Cain’s more successful betrayal, her surgery has been all fans have been talking about over the last week. Unfortunately, there has been another element viewers have picked up on – and it’s one that’s been far more baffling to fans.

    Namely, how did the doctors manage to perform major brain surgery without damaging a hair on her head?

    Emmerdale fans confused by Moira surgery scenes

    As scenes aired last night (Monday, November 25), fans took to social media to air their bafflement.

    “Sorry but the surgeons would have shaved Moira’s head, stapled it back together, dressed it and bandaged it up. Not give her butterfly stitches and stick a sanitary pad on her head,” laughed one viewer.

    “Well, look at that. They managed to surgically remove Moira’s brain tumour with cutting a hair on her head. Way to go, Lourdes brain surgeons!” said another.

    “Don’t folk having any kind of surgery on their heads have part of their hair shaved off?,” asked a third.

    Moira’s confidence takes a knock as Cain battles his conscience

    Elsewhere in last night’s episode, Moira struggled with her confidence following the surgery.

    Cain visited her in the hospital, but she was adamant that she didn’t want to see the kids.

    She told Cain that seeing glamorous Ruby had knocked her confidence. Cain was quick to reassure her – but inside, struggled with the guilt of having slept with Ruby.

  • Will survived Ross’ attack, but is it about time he pegs it?

    Will survived Ross’ attack, but is it about time he pegs it?

    Will is alive, last night’s episode of Emmerdale revealed. This came as he survived Ross‘s attack, which had been at the behest of scheming Kim – in an attempt to make her mooching husband leave the village.

    Given a scare after Ross and Will led her to believe she’d gotten him killed, a relieved Kim made up with Will as he returned home, revealing how he’d teamed up with Ross to turn the tables.

    And, as they headed back down from the bedroom more loved-up than ever, it seemed as though their marriage was back on track.

    Later, as Will met with Kim’s former flame, Peter, he seemed keen to back out of their arrangement. Love’s not dead after all, and neither is Will.

    Shame.

    Emmerdale fans left disappointed as Will lives

    Writing on X as these scenes aired, fans shared their disappointment at the continued survival of Will Taylor – who many suspected may have been killed on Friday.

    “Oh Emmerdale had the opportunity to get rid of Will,” said one dismayed viewer.

    “So we’ve got Will for the foreseeable then,” sighed another.

    “Knew it was good to be true that we’d be rid of Will,” a third said.

    “Will’s still alive. My disappointment overflows,” wrote a fourth.

    Has the soap wasted an opportunity to get rid of ‘dead wood’ Will?

    Operation destroy Kim continues

    There was a further twist in store last night with the arrival of scheming solicitor Peter.

    As Will met with Peter to call their plan off, the soap revealed that the pair had teamed up to bring Kim down.

    Will is now having second thoughts after reconciling with Kim, but is it too late to call things off?

    Mike Parr shares dream casting hopes for Barton family – and we’d love to see it happen

    Ross Barton and Emmerdale actor Mike Parr has shared some big wishes over who he’d loved to play Nana Barton.

    Nana Barton is a character that’s been mentioned a fair bit over the years but has never been seen on screen.

    But, if Mike could get his way, he’s revealed who he’d love to play the character.

    Ross Barton’s return

    Ross recently returned to the Dales and soon got himself into quite some bother. This was shown when he started bare knuckle fighting against Billy.

    It seemed that Ross was in a rather dark place. He revealed that poor Rebecca had died a few months back (we’re still sobbing!)

    Since deciding to stay put in the village, Ross made a pass at Charity but was soon rejected. So, he then moved on to the next woman, soon sleeping with Steph in the barn (how glamorous!)

    With Ross sticking around, actor Mike Parr has now shared his hopes for a Barton family expansion. After all, the family did used to be rather prominent in the Dales back in the day.

    Emmerdale: Mike Parr reveals Nana Barton casting hopes

    Dreaming to meet the much talked about, never seen Nana Barton one day, Mike shared that he’d love to see Sue Johnston take on the role.

    Speaking to Emmerdale Insider and other media, Mike said: “There was this mythological character called Nana Barton and I would love it if Sue Johnston… It would be my dream to work with her after watching her for so many years on Brookside and the Royle Family and stuff.

    “I think she’s probably off busy getting offers left, right and centre, but if I could cast anybody to play a character that hasn’t been in the show yet… evil Nana Barton. Or maybe not. Maybe she’s lovely.” Could this happen one day?
