Kim Tate has never been one to fall for a scam—but this time, the enemy is closer than she thinks. In Emmerdale’s latest shocking twist, Kim’s new lover “Eddie” is exposed as the infamous Dr. Crowley, a man with blood on his hands and a plan to steal every last pound of Kim’s fortune. And the trap has already been set—right inside Home Farm.

Claire King (Kim Tate) confirms the storm is just beginning. After inviting Eddie to meet Joe and Dawn, things spiral quickly. Joe instantly recognizes Crowley as the man who kidnapped him and conducted an illegal kidney transplant, but in a chilling turn, he’s forced to play along—at least for now.

Behind closed doors, Crowley reveals his plan: he’s after Kim’s money, and he wants Joe’s help. But this criminal mastermind severely underestimates the ruthless matriarch he’s targeting. “The minute Kim finds out, it’ll be more than his back he needs to watch out for,” Claire teases ominously.

This storyline is a powder keg of betrayal, manipulation, and revenge. While Kim brushes off Joe’s attitude toward Eddie, her suspicions grow. Viewers know it’s only a matter of time before she connects the dots—and when she does, Emmerdale’s most feared woman will strike back.

Joe’s warning goes unheard for now, but his loyalty is clear. He refuses to assist Crowley, even though doing so might save himself. As tension builds between Joe and Kim, and Dawn unknowingly stands in the crossfire, we’re left wondering: will Kim uncover the con before it’s too late? Or will Crowley walk away with the Tate fortune—and someone’s life?

This isn’t just another scam. It’s a war for control of Home Farm, and when Kim fights back, it’s going to get brutal.
