Emmerdale aired tragic scenes this week when Will Taylor died after
suffering a heart attack, but fans don’t believe he is really dead.
Will has been working with financial advisor Peter on a plot to
bring Kim Tate down. However, recent scenes saw Will have second thoughts about the plan as he realised he was still in love with Kim. After Kim discovered the truth, Will pleaded with her – a scene that ended with him clutching his chest. But is there more to it? Fans think so.
Will has a heart attack in Emmerdale
Recent weeks have seen Will hell-bent on making Kim’s life a misery as he teamed up with her financial advisor Peter to get revenge on Kim. Unbeknown to Will, Peter was also working with Joe Tate.
Joe arrived back in the Dales during the Christmas Day episode after Kim and Will had renewed their wedding vows.
Although Will had changed his mind about the revenge plot, he couldn’t get out of it that easily and Joe revealed all to Kim.
However, Joe lied to Kim, telling her that Will had directly approached her son Jamie Tate for help with getting revenge. Joe also made out that he and Peter were only ever messing with Will, to see how far he’d go. Joe insisted that he was telling Kim the truth now because he had realised how important family was.
Kim asked for some time alone with her husband. Will attempted to give his version of events before suddenly collapsing holding his chest.
Kim watched on suspiciously, believing that he was faking it for sympathy. It was only when Joe returned that Kim sprung into action and attempted to help Will. But it was too late and when emergency services arrived, they pronounced him dead.
Will Taylor fan theory
Despite the moment that medics pronounced Will dead being shown on screen, fans have predicted that he is still alive and is faking his own death.
“I’d wondered if Kim and Will are faking his death to take down Joe. Seems far fetched… however crazier things have happened,” one fan wrote on X. While another agreed, adding: “Will Taylor not dead and he faking his death again.”
A third viewer went into more detail, writing: “Mmm 2 questions, why didn’t the paramedics use the defibrillator and I thought paramedics weren’t allowed to stop until told to do so by a doctor. I might be wrong but then they might not be paramedics, Will might not be dead & the whole thing is a plot to blackmail Kim?”
A fourth fan added: “Interesting that Kim didn’t put much of an effort with the chest compressions, no mouth to mouth nor did we see the ambulance crew shock Will. Billy didn’t look too surprised either. There could be a twist to this storyline?”
Another fan wrote: “Said all along Will won’t be dead. Him , Joe and Jamie in a plot together to bring Kim down. Joe didn’t phone ambulance, paramedics were less than useless, nor did they declare death properly. Very fishy !” while a sixth viewer said: “Don’t think he dead. All part of joe’s plan with Peter.”
