    What happens this Christmas?

    As Christmas Day opens, we see a flashforward to what has gone on at Home Farm. There’s eerie music playing, the Christmas tree is on its side and it’s clear there’s been a struggle. But who was at the centre of it all?

    We do now know Joe Tate is returning for the big storyline. He is the one pulling the strings behind Will and Peter’s plot to destroy Kim. And he is the one not willing to let it go, despite Will’s desire to put a stop to his revenge.

    Will realises on Christmas Eve that he does love his wife after she has an accident on her horse, Ice. But as he rushes her to hospital he also faces a race against time to stop the plot going ahead.

    And it’s clear from what we know about Christmas Day, he’s not successful at all…

  • The real Kim Tate is back reveals Claire King as she takes on Ruby and Rose: ‘They’re no match for Kim’

    The real Kim Tate is back reveals Claire King as she takes on Ruby and Rose: ‘They’re no match for Kim’

    For anyone asking just what has happened to Kim Tate in Emmerdale, Claire King has got good news for you: the old Kim will make a return as she takes on Ruby and Rose and vows to bring them down. Rather them than us!

    In a recent interview with Emmerdale Insider and other media, Claire said: “I keep getting everybody asking me, what has happened to Kim? Why is she being so soft? But I think she’s doing it for the family. She wants to keep the family together.”

    But will she succeed in getting herself back on top? We know who our money is on!

    Claire King insists Kim is ‘more dangerous than Ruby’ in Emmerdale

    Home Farm is in turmoil after Rose tried to drug and entrap Will, but accidentally drugged Dawn instead. She’s managed to pin the blame on Kim, forcing Kim to move out to the B&B to protect baby Evan, and next week will seduce Will. So it looks like Rose and Ruby’s evil plot to get the better of Kim is working.

    But this is Kim Tate, the queen of Emmerdale, we’re talking about and Claire insists Kim has not met her match.

    “I think Ruby would like to think she’s met her match, but I don’t think she’s on a par with Kim. Kim could be a little bit more dangerous!”

    So what about Rose? “I think [Kim’s] probably got quite a good idea of what she’s up to,” assures Claire. “Apart from Ruby pulling her strings. I don’t think she sees Rose as a terrible threat, but it’s probably wrong for Kim to think that actually.”

    Will falls for Rose’s tricks

    Dean Andrews, who plays Will, admits that his alter ego is about to do something really, really, really stupid when he cheats on Kim and ends up in bed with Rose.

    “Will thinks that Kim’s spiked the drinks, so he goes to see her but she ignores him. So he goes home feeling a bit sorry for himself and gets a little bit of love from Rose. And a little more love from her a bit later on!”

    “But of course, she’s been paid to do that!” Claire points out!

    “He really regrets it,” Dean carries on. “It’s just one of those moments of madness. He really does love Kim and wants harmony back in the house.”

    The old Kim Tate would never forgive Will for this. But Claire thinks perhaps after a bit of revenge it’ll all be okay.

    “I think because of the way Kim is, it’s going to be a very big hump to get over. I would imagine she will be exacting revenge,” she explains.

    “It’s been a very nice sort of two or three years of playing happy families. But I think that’s always going to be within her and it’s going to come out at some point. I fear for Rose and I fear for Ruby!”

    Emmerdale star Claire King on Kim’s revenge

    On that note, Claire is desperately looking forward to the revenge plot – and we don’t blame her, because we are too!

    “I can’t wait! I’ve got them all lined up,” Claire says. “There are a few that have wronged her. There’s Rose to sort out, Ruby, Will’s got to have a bit of a slap around the chops. So yeah, there’s a few. Probably Caleb in there just for good measure. Maybe chuck a Dingle in there! Sounds a bit busy, doesn’t it!”

    Given Kim’s track record of leaving people to die, faking her own death and hiring assassins, there’s no telling what she’ll do. If she’s still capable that is…

    “I think she is more than capable,” says Claire. “But whether she would go down that line now I’m not sure. It depends how badly things go. But obviously this is an ultimate betrayal for her. I think Rose is in serious doo doo!”
