Emmerdale: Billy to have affair with Kim as revenge, new fan theory predicts

A new Emmerdale fan theory has viewers hoping that Billy Fletcher could have an affair with Kim Tate as revenge for Dawn betraying him with Joe. Dawn and Joe have been unable to keep their hands off of each other for the last few weeks, carrying on their affair under the noses of Billy and Kim.

Kim finally learned what Joe and Dawn have been up to last week, enlisting Lydia to spy on her step-grandson. Following the pair out into the woods, Lydia was shocked to catch Joe and Dawn at it. Back at Home Farm, she filled an appalled Kim in on what she’d witnessed.

Accusing Joe of taking advantage of Dawn, she issued him an ultimatum. End things, or he’d be out on his ear. While Joe didn’t appear to be paying her warning much heed, he’s off anyway – telling Dawn last night that he’s off on a ‘business trip’ to Dubai for the next two weeks.

Dawn, meanwhile, has been having second thoughts – but not enough to dissuade her from the affair. Not even Billy catching her in the act was enough to stop the affair entirely, even if she did seem to develop a guilty conscience later.

But what will Billy do when he inevitably learns the truth?

Billy to get revenge on Dawn by having affair with Kim, Emmerdale fan demands

Writing on Reddit in the wake of last night’s episode, one fan shared their thoughts on what Billy might do once the affair is exposed.

“I hope Billy get revenge on the pair. Plot twist has affair with Kim,” this fan joked.

Elsewhere on social media, others shared their thoughts on how they’d like to see the story play out.

“She was alright at first! Seemed like a decent character. Now sheâ€™s a HORROR and I hope Billy leaves her and finds a much nicer girl,” wrote one viewer on X.

“Canâ€™t stand Dawn. Billy deserves better canâ€™t wait for Dawn to be found out soon and that she loses everything,” another agreed.

“It would be good if billy finds out secretly and dumps her and leaves with his kid, just his kid,” said a fourth.

How do you hope the Dawn and Joe affair ends?

Emmerdale: Mystery doctor is a figment of Joe Tateâ€™s imagination, new fan theory predicts

A new Emmerdale fan theory has emerged – suggesting that Joe’s doctor could be but a figment of his fevered imagination. Joe Tate‘s doctor – if that’s what he is – has appeared in his hour of need as his illness has continued to worsen.

Last week, he came to Joe’s rescue when he collapsed after being kidnapped by Ross. Joe’s mystery man helped him up the stairs in Home Farm to his bed, where he recovered enough to continue lying and scheming.

Many have speculated that this means that Joe might need dialysis for his condition, with a kit tucked away in a mystery black box in his bedroom. And, as he puts a desperate plan into motion, Joe and his doctor planned their next move last night.

Joe’s doctor came calling in Emmerdale last night

Joe’s doctor paid another visit in Emmerdale last night, when he warned Joe against overexerting himself in his affair with Dawn. Telling Joe to focus on his health, he noted “this trip for your treatment can’t come soon enough.”

He then scarpered as he heard footsteps coming. Joe then told Dawn that he was leaving town for a while, off to Dubai on a spot of business.

But who is Joe’s doctor – and how does he always manage to teleport sight unseen around Home Farm?

Joe Tate’s doctor isn’t really there, new Emmerdale fan theory predicts

Writing on Reddit, one viewer speculated that there might be more to Joe’s doctor than meets the eye. Or less, as it were.

“Amazing how that mystery bloke known only to Joe keeps appearing at Home Farm. Is he actually just in Joeâ€™s imagination? Nobody else sees him,” this viewer pointed out.

“That would be a brilliant twist,” agreed another.

“Joe takes mate, walks in and out the house no one sees him come up the drive in his car and parks it up, just appears and disappears into the atmosphere,” another noted, over on X.

Who is Joe’s doctor – and what is Joe playing at?

Rosemary King in Emmerdale: Cruel tricks, murder plot and a very grisly end!

Rosemary King is currently making Sadie’s life a misery in Classic Emmerdale as both her new and ex mother-in-law!

But while she started out as a thorn in Sadie’s side, she became a problem for the whole King family and met a VERY sorry end!

Here’s the lowdown.

Sadie and Rosemary were sworn enemies from day one (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Rosemary Sinclair

Rosemary arrived in Emmerdale early in 2006, as the disapproving future mother-in-law of Sadie King. Sadie was marrying Rosemary’s son, Alasdair, and Rosemary was NOT happy about it.

She tried to bribe Sadie on the wedding day, determined to put an end to the marriage before it had begun. Sadie refused, and the couple said their vows – but Matthew King turned up at the church and Sadie ran off with him instead!

Fuming, Rosemary made a deal with Sadie – she’d hand over the Sinclairs’ most valuable business if Sadie had the marriage annulled.

Sadie agreed.

But when it came to the handover, Rosemary fleeced Sadie, revealing the business was worthless. And she even told Sadie the meal she’d just eaten had been made from her beloved horse, Cossack! As it turned out, Rosemary was lying but Sadie believed her.

Rosemary returns to Emmerdale

In the summer of the same year, Rosemary returned to the village, with it being revealed she lived at nearby Oakwell Hall with her other son, Grayson, and his wife, Perdy.

She hit it off with Rodney Blackstock and Tom King – and soon saw an opportunity!

Rosemary and Tom’s romance

Rosemary and Tom got on well and began working together on various business deals. But there was more to their friendship and they were soon romantically involved – much to the horror of Tom’s sons.

On the quiet, Rosemary was struggling. Her fancy house was owned by her nephew, and her son Grayson was quickly gambling away all the family fortune.

Chas Dingle, meanwhile, could see that despite Rosemary’s murky reasons for starting a relationship with Tom, the pair were actually happy together. She convinced the King brothers to leave them alone.

Rosemary repaid the kindness by encouraging Tom’s dislike of Chas. With Rosemary’s support, he bullied and blackmailed Chas into ending her relationship with Carl and moving out.

Tom and Rosemary’s eventful wedding day!

Rosemary and Tom tied the knot on Christmas Day in 2006. Tom announced he was giving Rosemary the Home Farm Estate as a wedding present. Needless to say, the brothers were fuming. And so was Rosemary when Tom added that he wanted her to leave it to Carl in her will, rather than Grayson.

And so she was one of the many suspects when Tom was pushed out of a window on the wedding day and died!

Rosemary after Tom’s death in Emmerdale

Rosemary stayed at Home Farm, though Matthew and Jimmy both thought she’d murdered Tom and wanted her to leave.

When she found out the brothers had organised Tom’s funeral while she was away, she stole the body.

Things got even more awkward when the will was read and it was revealed Tom had a daughter – Scarlett – who they’d never known about. He’d had a fling with her mother Carrie while she was nursing his first wife, Mary. What a gem, eh?!

Carrie and Rosemary became allies, and relations between the Kings got worse.

Meanwhile, Rosemary became good friends with Zak Dingle and took young Belle under her wing, even paying her school fees.

Grayson and Perdy

Rosemary’s meddling continued with her son’s marriage. Still covering for Grayson’s gambling, she was determined to get rid of Perdy and marry Grayson off to someone she considered better. She messed with Perdy’s medication and the poor woman ended up being sectioned!

When Grayson realised what his mother had done, he threw her out and told her to leave Emmerdale forever. Rosemary vanished without a trace.

How did Rosemary die in Emmerdale?

The first time Rosemary died, it was all a set-up! She’d staged her disappearance and framed Matthew for her murder.

She’d written a letter to Grayson explaining what she was doing, which Perdy found. Shocked she took it to the Kings, who handed it over to the police, and Matthew was freed.

When Rosemary found out the police were looking for her, she killed herself on Christmas Day 2007.Â Her death happened off screen as she was hiding out in Miami!

She was buried with Tom but after the funeral, Matthew returned, dug up the coffin, put it in a bin lorry and crushed it!

Fans fume as two major characters fail to show up ahead of Leylaâ€™s funeral

Fans of Emmerdale have been left fuming at two notable absences as the village prepares for Leyla’s funeral. This comes as Jacob was forced to say goodbye to mum Leyla Harding when she was killed in last month’s limousine crash.

During the fallout, Jacob has struggled with the pain of losing his mum, and this week began funeral arrangements. Many had assumed that this meant that Alicia Gallagher and David Metcalfe would return to the soap to pay their last respects.

Alicia was Leyla’s sister and is Jacob’s biological mother. Alicia left the soap in 2015, beginning a new life in Portugal with Jacob. While he returned, she did not – and hasn’t been seen since.

David, meanwhile, was a father figure to Jacob through his relationships with both Leyla and Alicia. He left the soap in 2023, after learning of Jacob’s relationship with partner Victoria.

While Jacob and David didn’t part on the best of terms, it’s still a surprise that he wouldn’t return in Jake’s time of need.

Why aren’t David and Alicia returning to Emmerdale?

Jacob revealed this week that neither Alica nor David would be attending Leyla’s send-off. Their excuses? Alicia has a broken leg, and is therefore unable to travel from Portugal to the village.

David, meanwhile, is absent as son Theo is ill. In real-life, that’s because actors Natalie Anderson and Matthew Wolfenden are no longer in the soap, with no plans (as yet!) to return.

But for fans, that excuse isn’t good enough.

David and Alicia should be at Leyla’s funeral, Emmerdale fans demand

Writing on social media as this week’s scenes aired, viewers shared their frustration at the missing characters.

“It’s ridiculous that neither Alicia or David ain’t coming. I understand that David and Jacob are not on the best of terms but I feel like he still would have came to pay his respects to his son mother no matter what. Then they wrote some lame excuse about Alicia breaking her leg are you kidding me?” asked one fan on Reddit.

“Recast and better reasons are options here. E.g. Alicia is on a cruise, something that would actually prevent her from attending the funeral of her sister and supporting her child rather than an inconvenience,” another ageed.

“Who needs enemies when you have family like David and Alicia,” joked a third, over on X.

“I’s ridiculous, writers should check if actors would come back before writing someone’s exit. They should have just shoved Leyla in a taxi, it makes more sense than Alicia not bothering to turn up to support Jacob,” said a fourth.

Has Emmerdale ruined Leyla’s exit with a poor send-off?

Marlon was devastated by the damage he’d caused and came clean to wife Rhona. She convinced him not to tell April, insisting it would make things even worse.
