Emmerdale viewers are convinced they spotted a clue that Kim Tate will be having a

shocking affair with a younger man. Kim, played by Claire King, has been slowly isolated

from her family after Rose showed up to the village earlier this year. Rose, who is the

estranged ex-wife of Will Taylor and mother of Dawn Taylor, has been working with Ruby Fox-Milligan in a bid to bring Will’s new wife Kim down. Rose, who recently reformed a relationship with her and Will’s daughter Dawn, is being blackmailed by Ruby Fox-Milligan – who has been planning Kim’s downfall. Ruby kept putting pressure on Rose to carry out their sinister plan and she met with a dealer, who handed over a vial of tranquilliser, on the outskirts of the village. However, things quickly went wrong and the spiked drink got mixed. The real victim was revealed as Dawn after she was involved in a horror car crash. Rose claimed Kim was the culprit, but the latter maintained her innocence despite everyone being against her.

While Kim gets more isolated, she has been growing close with Billy. Kim’s family have slowly been turning against her Fans rushed to social media to share their theory of Kim ‘shacking up’ with Billy. One user said: “They should all f*** off and Billy to shack up with Kim, the Toy Boy and the Cougar!” Another convinced viewer posted: “If I was Kim, I’d chuck that useless, pathetic husband of hers. Billy is the only loyal one there. Bets on them having an affair.” “Kim and Billy affair looms,” one fan predicted while another user posted: “Hands up who wants a Billy and Queen Kim affair.” One annoyed viewer commented: “I reckon Kim should get it on with Billy and the 2 of them can tell Dawn, Will and Rose to go f*** themselves!”

On Friday night, Kim managed to convince certain members of her family that she wasn’t behind the drink spiking. However, in an evil twist, Rose contacted her dealer and got him to show up at Home Farm, where he said Kim had bought gear off him and owed him money. Kim pointed out she was obviously being set up and had never met this man but Dawn wasn’t convinced as she demanded she was leaving Home Farm with her family. This prompted Kim to instead leave Home Farm so Dawn could stay there with poorly son Evan amid his hospital appointments. Later in the episode, after Kim moved out to the village Bed & Breakfast, she spotted Rose meeting the dealer, where he asked for cash.
