Emmerdale’s best – or worst – bad girls from Kim Tate to Meena Jutla!

Emmerdale’s bad girls are iconic! The soap has a long history of vindictive, manipulative, and often downright evil female villains!

In today’s episode of Emmerdale, Kim Tate played petty games with estranged husband Will as he made himself a sandwich. And while she was dropping his bread on the floor, in the background Billie Eilish was singing ‘Bad Girl’.

It was the perfect soundtrack for Kim, who is the quintessential Emmerdale bad girl! So we thought we’d round up the best of the rest.

Here are the baddest of Emmerdale’s bad girls!

Kim Tate: the finest of all Emmerdale’s bad girls!

Kim’s schemed, cheated, scammed, and watched her own husband die at her feet in her race to rule the village. She’s queen of Home Farm and somehow, despite the things she’s done, we’re still rooting for her! #TeamTate

Meena was the baddest bad girl of all (Credit: ITV)

Meena Jutla

When we said soem Emmerdale bad girls were proper evil, it was Meena Jutla we were thinking of.Â Meena was an iconic Dale serial killer with a bloodlust and body count that put her firmly into the Emmerdale legend category.

She killed Leanna Cavanagh, Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker, and had already killed her best friend Nadine and her own father. Meena’s now safely behind bars. But we sort of wish she’d escape!

Charity has done all sorts (Credit: ITV)

Charity Dingle

Charity’s all about family now, but for a long time she was top of the scheming charts. She was determined to get rich and she wasn’t afraid to use her Dingle charms to get what she wanted.

She has made some very bad choices, got involved with some very bad men – and some that were just bad for her. But has she finally settled down with fourth husband Mackenzie Boyd? Only time will tell!

Jasmine Thomas

Jasmine arrived in Emmerdale to live with her uncle, Ashley, and his wife Laurel. But she was soon proving to be quite the handful. Jasmine embarked on a romance with best friend Debbie Dingle, only to be seduced by her much older dad, Cain, who got her pregnant.

But it was Jasmine’s determination to become an investigative reporter that really landed her in trouble. She got embroiled with bent copper Shane Doyle, and after her tried to rape her, she whacked him with a chair leg and killed him.

With the help of Debbie and Eli Dingle, she dumped the body in the lake. But of course Shane was found and Jasmine eventually went to prison for her crime.

Kelly Windsor: Emmerdale’s bad girls

Kelly Windsor was a troubled teenager who grew into a manipulative and wily woman. She had a string of unsuitable romances with men including her teacher, Tom Bainbridge, Chris Tate, Biff Fowler and her stepbrother Scott. She married sweet Roy Glover but wasn’t happy.

When Kelly returned to the village after some time away, she got pregnant by Jimmy King but said she’d had an abortion. Years later, Kelly gave Jimmy the news that she’d had his son, Elliot.

She even took advantage of Jimmy’s amnesia to pretend they were a couple. But Jimmy wised up and Kelly left the village – leaving Elliot behind.

Emma Barton: one of Emmerdale’s bad girls

Another iconic Emmerdale villain, Emma was brilliantly, terrifyingly, determined to bring her family back together. So determined, in fact, that she took advantage of estranged husband James being injured and kept him hostage at home.

It was Emma who caused the Hotton by-pass crash when she shoved that same husband off the road bridge and killed him. She also (accidentally) shot and killed her son Finn and was eventually finished off by Moira Dingle!

Sally Spode

Sally was a vicar’s wife who tried to get her claws into Ashley by, well, locking Laurel in the church and setting fire to it. She didn’t succeed in killing her love rival there or later in hospital when she considered smothering her with a pillow. Phew.

But she did jump out in front of Ashley’s car, kidnap Edna’s dog AND Angelica King, drugged Ashley to try to get him into bed, and lie that she was pregnant with his baby. Oh and end up in a dramatic balcony struggle with Laurel. That’s more than enough!

Maya Stepney

Another of the properly twisted Emmerdale bad girls, Maya Stepney groomed and seduced her teenage student and almost ‘stepson’ Jacob Gallagher.

Maya convinced Jacob that their relationship was true love, and that they could be tighter, but in reality she had manipulated Jacob and messed with his head. Eventually Maya admitted to what she’d done, she lost her job and went to jail.

Kim and Will are much better together, Emmerdale shouldn’t have split them up – here’s why

Kim and Will are well and truly over! Their slow-burn romance took a long time to get started and it’s fallen apart in a matter of days, and we’ve got to be honest, we’re disappointed.

The Taylor-Tates (or would it be Tate-Taylors? We can’t imagine Kim would want second billing!) were hardly love’s young dream. They’d both been round the block a few times separately and together when they finally tied the knot.

But that’s why we liked them – they knew each other’s flaws and they didn’t care. In fact, we suspect the flaws were one of the things that attracted them to one another.

And now we’re facing weeks of revenge and plotting as they try to out-do each other and we’re not looking forward to it.

Here’s why we think the couple are much better together!

Emmerdale: Kim and Will know each other’s secrets

Between them, Will and Kim have a LOT of secrets. But it seems they’ve been totally honest with one another (until Rose arrived, that is!). When Caleb turned up trying to fleece Kim of her worldly goods, it became obvious that Will knew all about Kim’s – ahem – toxic marriage to Frank and the way he died (for those of you too young to remember, he died at Kim’s feet as she watched).

And Kim, of course, knows all about what happened to DI Malone – at Dawn’s hands – and how his body was buried in the graveyard, until she made it go away.

Will was in on the plot when Kim faked her own death (Credit: ITV)

They’ve got each other’s backs

When Kim’s son Jamie was trying to poison his mother, Will and Kim weren’t actually together. In fact, it was Will who Jamie tried to frame for drugging his mum. But of course Kim found out – of course she did. And she set about taking the ultimate revenge.

With a bit of help from former lover Will, she set things up to look like she had died and Will had been arrested for her murder. Jamie was horrified, but not as horrified as he was when Kim strolled back into Home Farm and kicked him out!

They’re a formidable team

With both Will and Kim having a very flexible approach to morals and what’s right, they made an intimidating team. Never more so, in fact, when Dawn’s ex Alex – dad to both Clemmie and Lucas – showed up in the village.

Alex had showed up wanting access to the kids. Or actually, what he wanted was to get his grubby mitts on the money Dawn had inherited from Harriet Finch and he was using the kids as leverage.

Kim promised Dawn that she’d sort it, and she did! She and Will kidnapped Alex and held him hostage in the stables where they offered him cash to go away. Alex refused and the newly weds told him their offer would drop in value every day. So cold!

Of course the Home Farm pair came out on top in the end, with Alex scarpering and Dawn and Billy adopting Clemmie.

Kim and Will need to reunite in Emmerdale

It was a disaster as soon as this storyline got going – there was only one way it could end really. And while we love Queen Kim and her bad ways, this was not the way to bring her back. Emmerdale should have teamed them up and made them Queen and King of the Dales. What a missed opportunity!

As Kim and Will split, all of the breakups the village has seen so far this year

Makeups and breakups are part and parcel of soaps, and Emmerdale is no exception.

Last week, Kim Tate and Will Taylor joined the ever growing list of couples who have split after she ended their marriage due to him keeping the truth about his night with Rose from her.

In true Kim Tate style though, she didn’t simply break up with Will. No, she blackmailed him and then had him dig a grave â€“ as you do.

Only time will tell if they find their way back together. In the meantime, here are the other major Emmerdale couples who have fallen by the wayside this year…

Nate left the village alone (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale split: Tracy and Nate

Tracy and Nate split earlier this year after she had an affair with Caleb just months into their marriage.

The affair made Tracy realise that she didn’t love Nate and she told the poor guy that she hadn’t even been in love with him on their wedding day. How to kick a man when he is down â€“ you probably could have kept that bit to yourself, hey Tracy…

During the summer, it looked like a reunion might be on the cards and Tracy even agreed to her and Frankie joining Nate in Scotland, where he had received a job offer.

However, after Moira kissed Nate, his family got the wrong end of the stick and turned against him, leading him to leave for Scotland on his own. Though we never actually saw him leave…

Victoria and Jacob initially kept their relationship a secret (Credit: ITV)

Victoria and Jacob

Jacob and Victoria’s relationship initially started out as a secret because she understandably didn’t want people to know she was dating her ex boyfriend’s young son.

Once the relationship was out in the open, Jacob’s dad David left the village after feeling betrayed by his son and ex girlfriend.

The relationship came to an end this year when Jacob turned down a placement in Berlin in order to stay with Victoria. Following this, his mum Leyla accused Victoria of holding her son back.

Victoria agreed with Leyla’s assessment and decided to end things with Jacob, leaving him heartbroken as he begged her to reconsider.

Manpreet tried to get back with Charles (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale split: Charles and Manpreet

In the wake on his son Ethan’s death, Charles struggled to accept any support from his partner Manpreet and he called time on their relationship.

Charles’ mum Claudette tried to meddle and told Manpreet that there was still a chance for the pair. But with Charles struggling with trust issues, his mind was made up.

Despite the pair getting together in 2021, it was revealed that they’d actually known each other 15 years previously, but she left him at the alter on their wedding day.

Charles cruelly told Manpreet that he hadn’t trusted her since she left him at the alter 20 years ago. So why he got back together with her later and stayed with her for a few years is anybody’s guess…

Tom abused Belle (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale split: Belle and Tom

One break up we were all ecstatic about was that of Belle and Tom. Having been abusive to Belle for most of their relationship, we were all desperate for her to get the strength to walk away.

That finally happened recently with Belle telling Tom that he can’t control her any more.

During their marriage, Tom mentally tortured Belle. As well as keeping tabs on her every move, he locked her in the house, tried to turn her against her family and even abused her dog Piper in his sick plot.

However, despite the pair no longer being a couple, Tom has continued to try and hurt Belle. One twisted move saw him give Piper away and pretend she had died. It’s easy to see what his new girlfriend Amelia sees in him…

Laurel and Jai continued to work together following their split (Credit: ITV)

Laurel and Jai

Another couple fans weren’t too upset to see the end of was Jai and Laurel.

The couple went their separate ways earlier this year following their rows over Amit’s departure and Jai’s betrayal of his half-brother Suni.

The line was completely crossed when Jai insulted Laurel’s late husband Ashley, leaving Laurel feeling disgusted that she’d ever married Jai.

In the wake of their split, Jai has continued to be cruel to Laurel. So we think it’s safe to say that those two thankfully won’t be getting back together.

Amelia couldn’t forgive Noah (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale split: Noah and Amelia

This young couple split after Amelia determined that Noah was responsible for Samson being sent to jail.

After Noah admitted he was the one responsible for grassing up Samson, Amelia saw this as a betrayal â€“ given that Samson is the father of her young daughter.

Noah was eager to continue to be a part of young Esther’s life as he has been like a father figure to the girl â€“ even setting up a trust fund for her. But Amelia told him he needed to stay away, even cruelly telling him that Esther is young enough to forget about him.

Amelia has now moved on to abuser Tom, so she may soon come to regret letting Noah go.

5 best secret identity reveals as John ‘Aidan Moore’ mystery continues

Since arriving in Emmerdale last month, John Sugden has been shrouded in mystery, with fans curious to see whether he has a secret identity.

Revealing himself to be the long lost son of Jack and brother to Victoria, fans are convinced he isn’t telling the whole truth.

This suspicion has been exasperated by the discovery of items in his property with the name Aidan Moore. So if he is really John Sugden, just who is Aidan Moore?

Fans are desperate to discover the truth and this isn’t the first time Emmerdale has kept the truth under wraps. Here are 5 times other secret Emmerdale identities were discovered…

Caleb was revealed to be Frank’s son (Credit: ITV)

1. Caleb and Nicky Milligan

In one of Emmerdale’s biggest shocks last year, Caleb and Nicky were revealed to be father and son.

Arriving in the village separately, Nicky got himself a job at Home Farm, while Caleb showed up in the Village as the long lost brother of Chas and Cain â€“ obviously.

With Caleb and Nicky seemingly having no interactions with each other, no suspicions were aroused. But the shocks didn’t stop there.

Right after confirming the pair as being related, viewers saw them visiting Frank Tate’s grave, and it because clear Frank was in fact Caleb’s dad.

The pair were in the village to rob Kim Tate of her fortune. Are you keeping up?

Chloe’s dad came as a surprise (Credit: ITV)

2. Chloe Harris and her father

Chloe, herself, was a bit of a mystery when she arrived in Emmerdale. Chloe’s family home was installed with several cameras and her father made sure she was constantly being watched.

Later on, the housekeeper – Kerry Wyatt – revealed to Chloe that she was her biological mum and she helped her escape.

In another twist, Damon ‘Harry’ Harris was later revealed to be Chloe’s father. Weeks after kidnapping Chas Dingle, Harry turned up in the village. Upon seeing Chloe, he said: “Chloe, sweetheart,” with Chloe shocking viewers by responding: “Hi dad.”

Nate revealed himself to be Cain’s secret son (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale secret identity: 3. Nate Robinson

Nate arrived in the village as somewhat of a mysterious figure. Viewers knew he was up to something, but they didn’t know what.

He later got a job as a farmhand and started an affair with Moira Dingle. It wasn’t long before Cain discovered the infidelity and it’s fair to say, he didn’t take it well.

Following a showdown, Nate called Cain “dad”, thus revealing his secret identity as Cain’s long lost son.

Nate had purposely tracked Cain down and was out for revenge (isn’t everybody in soapland?) on the man he believed had abandoned him as a child.

Ella had a big secret (Credit: ITV)

4. Ella Forster

Emmerdale aired one of its darkest stories earlier this year when it was revealed that newcomer Ella was in fact a child killer.

Ella killed her friend Joanne in a jealous rage when she was younger. The incident took place on the day of Ella’s 11th birthday. Ella later took on a new identity.

Ella tried to start a new life in the village, but the truth was discovered by Liam, with whom Ella had started a relationship with.

Tracy discovered a secret sibling (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale secret identity: 5. Vanessa and Tracy’s father

Long lost siblings has long been a theme in soapland and this was no different in 2016 when Tracy and Vanessa discovered they shared the same dad.

The big reveal was first shared with viewers when Tracy’s partner David went to visit her dad Frank Clayton in prison. Speaking fondly about his daughter “Teenie”, it was assumed he was referring to Tracy.

However, Frank later made a call to “Teenie,” and viewers were left shocked when the person on the end of the phone was revealed to be Vanessa.

The two women discovered the truth when they saw each other at their dad’s bedside.

‘Victoria has a good old nosy through John’s van’ Isabel Hodgins tells us what she finds!

In Emmerdale, Victoria Sugden is delighted to have discovered a new half-brother, John. But John’s prickly nature and love of keeping secrets isn’t going down well with family-loving Vic.

We caught up with Isabel Hodgins, who plays Victoria, to find out how she’s feeling about the new member of her family.

“I think she’s very happy,” Isabel tells us. “I think she’s been on her own for quite a while. Emmerdale can be a lonely place when you haven’t got any family. So I think she’s thrilled that she’s finally got another Sugden around.”

Victoria’s desperate to get to know John (Credit: ITV)

Slow burner!

Though John was initially desperate to leave the village, he seems to be settling in. Does that mean he’s starting to warm to his new-found sister?

“I think ever so slightly,” laughs Isabel. “He’s a slow, he’s a slow burner that one. So it’s taken a while, but he’s starting to come around. But he really doesn’t care about the Sugdens. He’s very much thinking that he’s staying in the village until he can drive off in his van.”

And Victoria is the opposite! “She doesn’t care what’s going on as long as he stays,” admits Isabel. “I think that leaves her open to getting hurt. She’s not that bothered, actually, if he’s a good guy or not, or, you know, how he receives her because he’s not that warm. He’s not that friendly, but he’s a Sugden and he’s there. And that’s all that matters.”

John’s not giving anything away (Credit: ITV)

Family secrets

But Victoria is nothing, but not determined!

“So on this particular day, Vic’s kind of twisted John’s arm already to get him in the pub to show him some old pictures,” explains Isabel. “And she’s going through it, he’s really not interested and he’s really not bothered. Â And she’s getting nothing from John. He’s not interested. So she grabs his phone. She completely disrespects his boundaries, standard. And she sees that there’s quite a few texts off Aaron. And she sees that one is of a particular nature!”

So how does Vic feel about that?

“She’s very shocked to see that!” says Isabel. “So she asks him what’s going on, why is Aaron messaging you like that? I think she’s shocked because she’s now got this relationship with Aaron where it’s back to Victoria and Aaron rather than Aaron being with Robert. First and foremost at the minute, Aaron is her friend. So there’s a little sense of betrayal there as in how could he be doing this to me when he’s my friend?”

And she adds that there is another layer to how Vic is feeling. “Aaron has been involved with Robert and Aaron is a bit of a liability,” Isabel tells us. “If John and Aaron continue to see each other and it goes wrong, John’s going to leave the village. And that’s the last thing that she wants.

“She wants to get to know him and she’d love for him to open up to her. And I just think it’s like blow after blow after blow of going, oh, he really doesn’t consider me as family because he doesn’t confide in me. So I just think it’s constant frustration that she’s not really getting anywhere with him.”

Emmerdale: John’s keeping more secrets from Victoria!

John’s been keeping secrets already – he didn’t tell Vic he’d been in the army, then didn’t tell her he was a medic until it was revealed during the fire. And so, Victoria ends up snooping round his van…

“I swear it is an accident,” laughs Isabel. “Because of how she behaved in the pub. So she goes to his van to find him and apologise, and would you believe the doors open? And she has a little snoop. And, you know, I’m a little sister in real life and we snoop. It’s what we do! She comes across some of his belongings and she has a good old nosy and she finds a dog tag with Aidan Moore on it.”

But of course, this is Emmerdale so as soon as Vic finds the tag, John arrives.

John’s angry with Vic when he finds her in the van (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale: John angry at Victoria!

“He is angry with her, but she is suspicious because she’s just either been drip fed or found everything out by accident. And so I just think she wants the chance to be able to have aÂ frank conversation.”

And what if John’s done something terrible? Would Victoria still want to know him?

” I think so,” Isabel muses. “Because, you know, Andy did questionable things. Robert did questionable things and she stood by them through whatever. So I think she’d be the same in John’s case.”

So is Isabel pleased to have another Sugden in the village? “It’s been really nice because obviously when I first came into it, there were so many of us and it was always seen as all around the table having breakfast and stuff. And as the years have gone on, the numbers have dwindled. So it’s nice to try and re-establish the Sugden family and the Sugden connection, really. So I’ve really enjoyed it.”

Fans work out Billyâ€™s secret â€˜mateâ€™ – and itâ€™s not Kim

If there’s one thing Emmerdale loves it’s a secretive phone call and now it’s Billy Fletcher making them – but the question is: to who?

Speculation so far has everyone convinced he’s been working with Kim to blackmail Will. But one key moment last night suggested this was a red herring and he’s not working with her at all.

Instead, a new theory puts someone else behind it – and it’s someone we know very well indeed…

Dawn wanted answers (Credit: ITV)

Billy keeps secrets in Emmerdale

Last night (Thursday September 20) Kim was revealed to be Will’s blackmailer. It was the most anticlimactic reveal ever given most of us had already worked it out. But what wasn’t clear was who had dug that massive grave for her and put the coffin in – surely she must have had an accomplice?

All viewer eyes were then on Billy, when he started acting shiftily. It seemed too convenient when he made excuses to Dawn that he had a last minute PT client booked and had to dash.

But he dropped his bag and when Dawn checked in it, she found a wad of crisp notes. It instantly raised her hackles because they have been struggling to pay their bills. So why would Billy sit on so much cash instead of helping the family out.

She confronted him and he made up an excuse about wanting to surprise her with a holiday. He insisted he had been saving up from his PT clients payments for a while.

Dawn bought it, but told him no holiday until they’d paid their bills. Billy agreed before making another secretive phone call asking for more work – whatever was going, he didn’t mind.

So we know it’s not PT work as this is definitely dodgy. But what we don’t know is who the person on the other end of the line was.

Billy made a secretive phone call (Credit: ITV)

Who was Billy calling?

Although many are convinced he’s Kim’s righthand man, in fact, we think he gave the game away when he called the person ‘Mate’. Come on, who in their right mind would call Kim Tate ‘mate’? Definitely not if they valued their body parts!

So that leads us to wonder who else it could be and some fans have come up with a clever theory: it’s none other than Ross Barton.

“Could Billy be involved with Ross?!” wrote one on social media. Another also questioned: “Is Billy’s partner in crime going to be Ross Barton?”

“What if the person Billy was calling is Ross?” queried one more.

He’s back! (Credit: ITV)

Ross Barton returning to Emmerdale

The comeback of Ross Barton was teased earlier this week in a social media video. Emmerdale later confirmed it with a press release and new images of the man in question.

He is back in the Dales after six years, but details of why he returns are being kept under wraps. However, with him due back on screen this autumn, they may well be setting up his comeback storyline right now.

Could he somehow be involved with Billy? Where Ross Barton goes, trouble inevitably follows, so will Billy get in a mess?

‘Silly’ Kim and Will split slammed: ‘What a shame’

Kim Tate has remembered who she is in Emmerdale and dumped cheating Will Taylor – but not before torturing him, of course!

It turned out on Thursday September 20 that Kim has been behind Will’s blackmail all this time. And even though fans had all figured it out, they were pleased to see Kim return to her old ways.

However, despite the love for bad girl Kim, there are those who are disappointed over the outcome for Will and Kim’s marriage. The pair had been popular as a couple and some viewers were annoyed the show has gone and ruined it.

Kim dumps Will in Emmerdale

Will has been racing round for weeks trying to get rid of his blackmailer. He’s sold his watch, taken an ill-advised loan off Caleb and followed every instruction the tormentor has set. All because he stupidly slept with his ex Rose and won’t own up to it.

Desperate to keep his sex secret, Will dashed off into the woods last night when he thought Kim had been kidnapped. What he actually found was a mannequin with her face on it. Further into the forest he went where he discovered a shovel and was told to dig. Hearing Kim crying out for help, he did as he was told.

What he found in the ground was a coffin and a walkie talkie. Not Kim. That’s because she was behind him, ready to whack him over the head with the spade.

Still confused as he lay in the coffin, Kim spelt it out for her husband: she knew everything, she’s been the one setting him up and their marriage was over.

Taking the Â£50k he’d managed to raise to pay the blackmailer off, Kim also took Will’s phone and left him in the ground. As Will shouted out after her, she replied through the walkie talkie: “Over and out,” meaning their marriage was done.

Fans react

Despite the outpouring of love for the old Kim Tate returning and exacting revenge like only she can, disappointment was in the air. There were those who really wanted Will and Kim to pull through this.

“Such a shame though, I really liked them as a couple,” said one on social media.

Another agreed: “I like Will, shame they have split another couple up in Emmerdale.”

“Why couldn’t they have let them be happy without the terrible storyline. Would love to see a proper happy family at Home Farm in fact in the whole village, too many far fetched doom gloom storylines Emmerdale’s writers PLEASE let have the old stories back with loads of lovely bonds and humour,” added one more.

“It’s a shame I liked Will and Kim together, such a silly storyline too,” commented a fourth.

But are they really over? Will Kim soften again and take him back? Or is this really the return of Queen Kim who rules the Dales with an iron fist?

Fans in ‘love’ with little Isaac Dingle: ‘He’s acting everyone else out of the village’

Young Isaac Dingle actor Bobby Dunsmuir has proved himself quite the Emmerdale superstar in recent weeks and it’s not gone unnoticed by fans.

He previously came to viewers’ attention when he adopted Minty the lamb and left them devastated when Minty died.

However, it was his quick-thinking last night (Thursday September 19) that saw him call an ambulance for Moira while she was having a seizure that got fans talking again.

Isaac acts to save Moira in Emmerdale

Moira has been diagnosed with a brain tumour. She has been advised by the hospital to follow a ‘watch and wait’ course of treatment, where they will keep an eye on things and operate if the tumour gets any bigger.

However, Moira so far has ruled out having surgery altogether, much to the dismay of her family. Due to her seizures and odd behaviour, she can’t be left alone in charge of her kids. But last night, Mackenzie had to pop out to collect a sick Moses, leaving Moira looking after Isaac.

Although she insisted she would be fine, she wasn’t when she and her son were setting up a cushion obstacle course and she collapsed having another seizure. Isaac was terrified and started shouting “Mummy, Mummy” as Moira lay lifeless on the floor.

But he also managed to call and ambulance, meaning the paramedics arrived and helped Moira. What a little star!

Moira was overwhelmed when she realised her son had saved her, but he didn’t want any praise, he simply told her he just wanted her to be his mummy for years and years. Will this make her rethink her surgery decision?

Fans gush over Isaac

Those watching at home couldn’t contain their love for young Isaac on social media.

“Well Emmerdale has killed me off tonight with Moira, Cain and Isaac, that last scene. ‘I want you to be my mum for years,’” wrote one alongside a series of crying emojis.

“Isaac is too adorable,” said a second, with many others writing the same sentiment.

“That kid who plays Isaac is an absolute star in the making. He’s gotta be the most adorable kid since April when she was little,” agreed someone else.

A fifth added: “Love Isaac out-acting the rest of village idiots!” Someone else also agreed: “Isaac is acting everyone else out of the village!”

“More Isaac he’s brilliant,” begged someone else, while another said: “Isaac is such a great little actor. A star in the making.”

Emmerdale: How old is Isaac Dingle?

Isaac Dingle is six years old. He was born on October 2, 2017, so is soon to turn seven.

Isaac has been played by a series of different actors, with three actors playing him whilst he was a baby. Harvey Brook, Elias Walker and Bobby Dunsmuir all have acted the part.

Bobby was one of the original actors who played Isaac when he was a baby.

Now, Bobby continues to play Isaac as he grows older. Bobby turned seven in July 2024, so he is a few months older than his on-screen alter ego.

â€˜About timeâ€™ declare fans as Kim Tate â€˜returnsâ€™ to the Dales

Kim Tate in Emmerdale is not dubbed ‘Queen Kim’ for no reason, it’s just taken a little bit of time for us to see her again. But now she’s back! Boy, is she back!

Fans were ecstatic last night to get a glimpse of the old Kim as she was revealed as Will’s blackmailer. Of course, to most it had been obvious it was her, but still, the confirmation was as epic as we’d expected.

Kim has returned back to where she belongs. And we’re couldn’t be happier about it.

Kim Tate ‘returns’ to Emmerdale

It’s been a long time coming. There have been cries aplenty for Kim to find her old self, stop being so soft and take control. This all came after she agreed to move out of her own house when Rose was plotting against her. Instead of standing her ground and exacting punishment, she meekly moved to the B&B and let Rose lord it up as lady of the manor.

Even when the truth was exposed about Rose, Kim’s reaction was a bit weak. She merely sent Rose packing.

But when she realised Will had slept with his ex, that’s when the old Kim Tate reared her head – in classic style.

Will has spent the last few weeks being blackmailed. Yes, it’s dragged on as he ran around trying to find the money to keep the blackmailer quiet over his sex secret. But last night (Thursday September 19) Will thought his wife had been kidnapped and raced to rescue her.

What he found was a mannequin with Kim’s face on it – creepy – and then instructions to keep going further into the woods. Then he discovered a spade. After he heard Kim’s voice crying for help, he began to dig and found a coffin, which had a walkie talkie inside.

Before Will knew it, he was knocked into the grave when he was hit over the head with the spade. By none other than Kim herself.

HeÂ still hadn’t quite worked it all out until Kim made it very clear she was behind everything. She then left him in the coffin, took his money and told him their marriage was over.

Fans react

Those watching at home had already worked out it was Kim, but they were thrilled to see her back to her best self, nonetheless.

“Way to go Kim. Back to her very brilliant and wonderful best!!!!” cried one fan. “Nice to have the old Kim back,” added another.

A third wrote: “Kim Tate is back!! Never mess with her.” Someone else said: “About time the old Kim Tate returned.”

“Well it’s good to see the old Kim back to being bad and she was right to say you dug yourself a big hole,” shared one more.

A sixth said: “Think we all knew it was Kim. She’s the expert in shocks, twists and REVENGE!!!”

“It’s like a horror film YES Kim back to her old ways,” agreed another.

But let’s just hope she doesn’t soften again too quickly…

As Kim is revealed as Willâ€™s blackmailer, all the other times Queen Kim has proved no one is a match for her

Kim Tate in Emmerdale is nobody’s fool. So many people have tried to get one over on her throughout the years and so many people have failed!

This week, her husband Will Taylor discovered – to his absolute horror – that Kim was the person behind his blackmail torment.

Kim knew he’d slept with his ex, Rose, and she was making him pay in the most drawn-out way, ever.

And Will’s not the first foolish man to think he could pull the wool over Ms Tate’s eyes. Here’s a few other times Kim came out on top.

Kim and Frank Tate in Emmerdale

Faking her own death – the first time

Kim’s marriage to Frank Tate was turbulent, to say the very least! She cheated with Dave Glover and when she found out she was pregnant, wasn’t sure who the father was. But son Jamie’s dad turned out to be Frank. When Dave died rescuing the baby from a fire, Kim went off the rails.

She paid a lookalike woman to drive her car round the village so everyone would think she was still there – and fled to the Caribbean. But things went a little awry when the woman was found dead at the wheel and Frank identified the body as Kim. He served time on remand, charged with his wife’s murder! But he was released when Kim showed up again.

Leaving Frank to die

The shock of finding out that Kim wasn’t actually dead, caused Frank to have a heart attack! He collapsed on the floor and Kim didn’t go for help. “You’re a dinosaur, Frank,” she said. “And you know what happened to them.”

She waited for him to die, then she calmly pulled out her makeup compact and used the mirror to check if he was breathing. When she saw he wasn’t, she powdered her nose!

Kim Tate and Steve Marchant in Emmerdale

Framing Steve

Kim married Steve Marchant and the pair were soon facing financial troubles. They decided to steal an expensive horse and sell it, but replace it with an older, less valuable nag before passing it on.

When Steve stole the horsebox, though, he ran over Kathy Glover. In a panic, he later tried to off poor Kathy in the hospital, too. Kim managed to manipulate Kathy into thinking Steve was the only one responsible, framing him for the crime.

Seducing her stepson

Kim had buried a bag of money in Frank’s grave and she was horrified to discover her stepson Chris Tate had discovered it.

Desperate to get her hands on the cash, she seduced Chris then whacked him over the head with a paperweight.

Kim made her escape with son James and the cash in a helicopter. When the pilot asked if she was Kim Marchant, she replied: “No, I’m Kim Tate.”

Faking her own death – the second time

Kim’s son Jamie Tate was a right piece of work but even his once-adoring mum wasn’t going to let him get away with it!

When she found out Jamie had been poisoning her, she teamed up with Will – now her husband, then her ex – to get revenge.

They came up with an elaborate plan involving fake ambulances and police officers, to fool Jamie into thinking he’d killed his mum!

Foiling Caleb’s plan

When he arrived in Emmerdale Caleb Miligan thought he was going to stroll into the village and take everything Kim had. Ha! How wrong he was.

While Caleb was busy scheming to empty Kim’s accounts, she had worked out what he was up to. She hid all her cash, and told Caleb it was time to give up! Now Caleb’s scheming again and we can’t help think he’s not going to win this one, either.
