In Emmerdale, Kim Tate has had her fair share of men over the years, here we take a look at them.
Recently, Kim lost husband Will Taylor, after he suffered a fatal heart attack. His death caused her to reminisce about the past and she admitted to Joe Tate that she missed old flame Graham Foster.
Here’s everyone who Kim has been involved with over the years.
Frank Tate, first husband
Kim arrived in Emmerdale in 1989 with her husband Frank Tate and his grown up children from his first marriage, Chris and Zoe.
It was revealed that Kim had been Frank’s secretary and he’d started an affair with her while his wife Jean was ill with cancer. Following Jean’s death, Kim and Frank had married in 1986.
Initially, the marriage seemed a happy one. But Kim soon got bored and strayed. Frank and Kim split up, but they soon reunited and got remarried in 1994. However, Kim had her sights set on the money and was soon up to her old tricks.
Following some near misses, Frank eventually died of a heart attack in 1997. After watching him die, callous Kim then coolly redid her make-up.
Emmerdale Kim lovers: Affair with Neil Kincaid
Neil was a stockbroker who visited the Dales at weekends to pursue his interest in horses. Kim begun an affair with him in 1992.
While at a horse auction together, their affair was consummated. Kim’s husband Frank discovered the truth when he saw Neil wearing a watch which he’d assumed Kim had bought for him.
Frank threw Kim out of the house on Christmas Day and she went running to Neil. The pair continued their relationship for a couple of months until the difference in classes and clash of egos became too much and they parted ways.
Affair with Dave Glover
Less than a year after remarrying Frank, Kim started an affair with Dave Glover, the boyfriend of her former friend Kathy.
When Kathy’s brother Nick discovered the affair, Kim trampled him with her horse. She also threatened Nick’s daughter, Alice.
Kim and Dave fell in love, but it wasn’t long before Frank discovered the affair. Shortly after, Kim discovered she was pregnant and was devastated when it was revealed Frank was James’ father, not Dave.
Dave went on to marry Kathy, but his heart was still with Kim. The pair made plans to run away together, but unfortunately their plan was short-lived after Dave was killed in a fire at Home Farm.
Emmerdale Kim lovers: Steve Marchant
She started seeing Steve shortly after Frank’s death. They married in 1998, but Kim soon discovered that Steve was bankrupt and now she was too.
Falling on hard times, the couple attempted to steal a horse and sell it in order to make some money. But while driving the horse box, Steve had hit Kathy.
Kim then plotted to set Steve up for the crime and she convinced Kathy that Steve was the villain. However, Kathy started to have doubts.
In 1999, Steve was sentenced to 10 years, while Kim escaped in a helicopter with James and some stolen money. She wasn’t seen back in Emmerdale again until 2018.
Mystery man Graham Foster
It was not seen on screen, but at some point between 1989 and 1998 Kim met Graham Foster and the two had an on-off relationship.
In 2012, Kim was sent to prison and she tasked Graham with keeping an eye on son Jamie. Upon release in 2018, she met with Graham and after learning about what Joe Tate had been up to, she instructed Graham to get rid of him.
Graham continued to do Kim’s bidding. But he eventually put his foot down when he fell for Rhona Goskirk. Kim was upset with this development so got her revenge by announcing in the pub that her and Graham were secretly married.
She felt guilty when she thought she was responsible for Graham’s death, but he was actually killed by Rhona’s rapist ex-husband Pierce.
Emmerdale Kim lovers: Will Taylor, fourth husband
Kim started a relationship with Will Taylor after he started working for her at Home Farm. Shortly after, Kim discovered that he’d only taken the job as he wanted to make sure Malone’s body wasn’t discovered (which was buried on Home Farm land.) Kim felt Will was using her so they took a break.
The pair reunited and eventually married in 2022. However, the day was marred as it was the day of the big storm, which killed Amelia and Will’s ex Harriet. Will was distraught causing Kim to think he still loved her.
Will later cheated on Kim with ex-wife Rose. And then came a game of cat and mouse, where both Kim and Will tried to get one up on the other.
Will died at Christmas following a heart attack. Kim thought Will was faking it to gain sympathy, so in scenes that mirrored Frank’s death, she checked her make-up in the mirror.
Kim has fling with Peter in Emmerdale
Peter was Kim’s financial advisor. While her and Will were at a stalemate, Kim dated Peter in a bid to make Will jealous. The two later ended up in bed together.
It was later revealed that Peter was actually working with Will and for Joe Tate in a bid to bring down Kim.
