As Will Taylor dies of a heart attack, fan theory reckons Joe Tate killed him

In Emmerdale, Will Taylor met an untimely end this week after suffering a heart

attack. But fans believe Joe Tate was actually responsible for Will’s death.

Joe returned to the Dales on Christmas Day after six years away and picked

up where he left off by creating drama. After revealing to Kim Tate that her husband Will had been plotting to bring her down, Will collapsed to the floor clutching his chest. But fans think there was more to Will’s death and that Joe had a hand in it.

Will Taylor dies

During Emmerdale’s Christmas episode, Kim and Will renewed their wedding vows. Shortly after, their bubble of happiness was burst when Joe Tate made a dramatic entrance.

Joe revealed to Kim that Will had been planning revenge on her. He lied about Will’s involvement, telling Kim that Will had actually orchestrated it all by getting in touch with Kim’s son Jamie. Joe also told Kim that he and her financial advisor Peter had only gone along with the plan as a joke, to see how far Will would take it.

Kim asked to be alone with Will, where he attempted to give his version of events. But Kim wasn’t having any of it. Shortly after, Will collapsed to the floor clutching his chest. Kim ignored his pleas for help, accusing him of faking a heart attack for sympathy.

It was only when Joe returned that Kim started to help her husband. However, it was too late and by the time medics arrived at the scene, Will was pronounced dead.

Fans suspect Joe Tate in Emmerdale

After watching Will’s death, fans felt it was too much of a coincidence that Will would die so soon after Joe’s return.

Taking to X, one fan said: “Makes you wonder if Joe slipped some pills into Will’s drink.” A second fan agreed, writing: “ I think Joe put something in the wine, that caused will to get a heart attack.”

Over on Instagram, fans were in agreement, with one asking: “Who killed Will? Joe Tate?” Another fan added: “There is a twist somewhere.”

A fifth fan said: “I’m sure Joe is behind Will’s passing because the pills he is taking.”
