Kim Tate in Emmerdale is not dubbed ‘Queen Kim’ for no reason, it’s
just taken a little bit of time for us to see her again. But now she’s back! Boy, is she back!
Fans were ecstatic last night to get a glimpse of the old Kim as she was
revealed as Will’s blackmailer. Of course, to most it had been obvious it was her, but still, the confirmation was as epic as we’d expected. Kim has returned back to where she belongs. And we’re couldn’t be happier about it.

Kim Tate ‘returns’ to Emmerdale
It’s been a long time coming. There have been cries aplenty for Kim to find her old self, stop being so soft and take control. This all came after she agreed to move out of her own house when Rose was plotting against her. Instead of standing her ground and exacting punishment, she meekly moved to the B&B and let Rose lord it up as lady of the manor.
Even when the truth was exposed about Rose, Kim’s reaction was a bit weak. She merely sent Rose packing.
But when she realised Will had slept with his ex, that’s when the old Kim Tate reared her head – in classic style.
Will has spent the last few weeks being blackmailed. Yes, it’s dragged on as he ran around trying to find the money to keep the blackmailer quiet over his sex secret. But last night (Thursday September 19) Will thought his wife had been kidnapped and raced to rescue her.
What he found was a mannequin with Kim’s face on it – creepy – and then instructions to keep going further into the woods. Then he discovered a spade. After he heard Kim’s voice crying for help, he began to dig and found a coffin, which had a walkie talkie inside.
Before Will knew it, he was knocked into the grave when he was hit over the head with the spade. By none other than Kim herself.
He still hadn’t quite worked it all out until Kim made it very clear she was behind everything. She then left him in the coffin, took his money and told him their marriage was over.

Fans react
Those watching at home had already worked out it was Kim, but they were thrilled to see her back to her best self, nonetheless.
“Way to go Kim. Back to her very brilliant and wonderful best!!!!” cried one fan. “Nice to have the old Kim back,” added another.
A third wrote: “Kim Tate is back!! Never mess with her.” Someone else said: “About time the old Kim Tate returned.”
“Well it’s good to see the old Kim back to being bad and she was right to say you dug yourself a big hole,” shared one more.
A sixth said: “Think we all knew it was Kim. She’s the expert in shocks, twists and REVENGE!!!”
“It’s like a horror film YES Kim back to her old ways,” agreed another.
But let’s just hope she doesn’t soften again too quickly…
