Emmerdale tonight saw the brief return of Will Taylor from the dead as Kim hallunicated her late husband. Dawn was behind it and finally got the answers she was looking for – and then she kissed Joe Tate!

Elsewhere, Jacob really needs to sort out his behaviour with women – and Charity told him as much.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Thursday January 9.

Dawn drugged Kim in Emmerdale tonight

Will ‘returned’

Dawn had left a pot of coffee for Kim when she got up – and we all know what that meant. But Kim did not and drunk it anyway.

It was soon clear Kim was feeling woozy. Then she found the video of Will playing in the living room, before ‘Will’ confronted her. Kim was overwhelmed that her husband was back, but he wasn’t being nice, he was telling her it was all her fault and asking her how she killed him.

Viewers then saw it was Dawn, not Will, grilling Kim and it became clear she was hallucinating her dead husband thanks to Dawn’s ketamine. Kim then saw blood on her hands and freaked out. Will was still there in her head as she started to go mad, and we could see Dawn persisting in trying to get the truth.

Kim was convinced it was Will as she confessed she didn’t want Will dead. She admitted she could have helped Will sooner. It was clear she was distraught over the whole thing. Kim begged for forgiveness, but Dawn said she didn’t believe her and it can’t have just been an accident. Sobbing Kim said she did it because Will broke her heart.

Kim rushed to hospital

Kim was looking sicker and sicker as she relieved the past few months with Will and what they did to each other. She insisted she loved him so much before passing out.

Dawn STILL didn’t believe her, but just then Joe walked in and wanted to know exactly what had gone on. Dawn admitted she drugged her so she would let her guard down and talk about Will.

Kim then started to have a seizure thanks to her overdosing and an ambulance was called. Joe covered Dawn’s tracks and unresponsive Kim was rushed to hospital.

Joe genuinely has us believing he’s Team Kim – what is going on here?!

Kim confronted Dawn in Emmerdale tonight

Fortunately Kim regained consciousness and was stablised. The police arrived to question her over the ketamine and she lied she took it herself. Kim and Dawn finally made peace.

Dawn later confessed to Billy and admitted she’d got the ketamine from her old dealer. Billy then questioned whether Dawn had taken any herself and didn’t believe her when she insisted she hadn’t. All right Billy, let’s climb down off that high horse, shall we.

Dawn and Joe kissed

Later at Home Farm, Joe and Dawn shared a drink together. Joe was being nice to her and consoling her and she leaned in and kissed him. She pulled back and Joe assured her it was okay, but suggested she didn’t tell Billy the truth about this one.

Jacob hurt Sarah again in Emmerdale tonight

Jacob and Sarah had spent the night together, but Leyla was worried about Sarah and Jacob being together because of Sarah’s health issues.

At home Charity was waiting to give Sarah the third degree about where she had been. Sarah admitted she’d been with Jacob and despite Charity’s concerns she gave them her blessing to be together.

When Sarah and Jacob ran into each other in the cafe, Jacob was awkward with her and Sarah noticed something was wrong. But once again Jacob didn’t want to talk about it and then admitted he wasn’t ready for a relationship after Leanna because he couldn’t say goodbye to someone else he really cares about. Sarah was hurt. Again.

Sarah sobbed on Charity’s shoulder over the whole situation as she once again was faced with the reality that she may die before she’s 40. Charity immediately stormed round to give Jacob a piece of her mind.

Devastation for Marlon in Emmerdale tonight

Marlon’s video had got 100s of comments and people were suggesting they’d seen her as far as Brighton and Scotland. But Mary noticed something on the threads that sparked concern. Vile trolls were suggesting Marlon was creepy and he had something to do with April going missing. Mary was trying to delete them, but there were too many.

Marlon saw them and was devastated that people could think he could do something like that.

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Laurel and Charles

Charles and Laurel pitched in to help with the search for April. Charles called round all the shelters, which we sort of think he should already have been doing to be honest!

Laurel then confided in Charles about her drinking and making a pass at Marlon. Are these two growing closer again? Is that a spark we still see there?

Ruby and Steph made up

Anthony approached Caleb and Ruby in the cafe and told Ruby off for upsetting Steph. Ruby then apologised to Steph and was forgiven. Anthony rubbed Ruby’s face in his closeness to Steph and this whole, vile, cycle continues.
