In a dramatic turn of events on Emmerdale, Kim Tate has officially demanded a divorce from her husband, Will Taylor, after uncovering his infidelity with Rose Jackson. Earlier this week, it was revealed that Kim orchestrated a secret blackmail scheme, manipulating Will into bringing £40,000 as ransom under the guise of a kidnapping. The September 20 episode begins with Will’s harrowing return to Home Farm, where he had been left stranded in the woods, forced to dig his own shallow grave.
Determined to confront Kim, Will rushes back to the farm only to find her already one step ahead. Kim reveals that she discovered Will’s betrayal after receiving a bouquet of roses, leading her to feel justified in her actions. Despite Will’s desperate pleas to salvage their marriage, Kim presents him with divorce papers, insisting he relinquish his claims on her empire, which she had previously entrusted to him.
As the confrontation intensifies, Kim reminds Will of his past indiscretions with Bernice and Harriet, stating that his affair with Rose confirms he never valued their relationship. Declaring her superiority both emotionally and financially, Kim asserts, “I am worth so much more than you in every sense of the word.”
Will counters her threats, revealing that he has taken a loan against the Hol firm from Caleb Milligan, Kim’s adversary, which would entangle them as business partners if he fails to repay it. In a tense standoff, Kim dismisses Will’s claims and mockingly critiques his judgment. Ultimately, Will storms out without signing the divorce papers, leaving viewers to wonder: is this truly the end for Will and Kim, or could a reconciliation still be possible amid their brewing chaos?
