It’s shaping up to be a surprising and dramatic Christmas at Emmerdale’s poshest address, Home Farm, this year.
Viewers know that Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) is plotting against his wife Kim Tate (Claire King) and he’s in cahoots with her former financial advisor Peter Mansfield (David Michaels) and a mysterious third person. Their secret plot is set to be put in motion as Kim and Will renew their wedding vows on Christmas Day.
This is the reason why Will has been so keen for the ceremony to be ‘intimate’ and ‘private.’ Having the house filled with family and friends would make the plan – whatever it is – more difficult to execute.
There might also be a part of Will that isn’t comfortable seeing his wife humiliated in front of other people, with him as the bad guy.
So when Kim announced that she’d asked Dawn (Olivia Bromley), Billy (Jay Kontzle) and the kids to move back to the house and they’d be there at the ceremony, Will was not best pleased.
In Wednesday (December 18)’s episode, Kim was excitedly decking the halls of Home Farm with boughs of holly and tons of tinsel ready for her grandchildren moving back in. Will said he thought it was all too much and ‘none of it’s a good idea.’ Kim wouldn’t be swayed.
Dawn arrived and said that Billy was refusing to make the move, insisting that he should be the one to provide for his family and not rely on Kim paying for everything. Billy doesn’t have a plan B, though, and given that Jai (Chris Bisson) has told the family to move out of Holdgate within a couple of days, it’s hard to know what else he can do.
Will decided that it would suit his plan if he could get Jai to reconsider and let the family stay at Holdgate after all, so he went to talk to him. He was absolutely floored when Jai told him that the eviction hadn’t been his idea at all. It had been Kim’s.
She knew that losing Holdgate was a sure-fire way to get Dawn to move back to Home Farm.
Kim was unrepentant when Will challenged her and he furiously told her he felt like he ‘Has no say about owt.’ Kim wondered if he was having second thoughts about the vow renewal but he insisted he wasn’t.

Later, Peter called round and Will told him he wanted to stop the arrangement they’d made. Peter refused and said Kim’s family being there would be a case of ‘the more, the merrier.’

Will told him he’d changed his mind about the whole plan, but Peter advised him that his ‘boss,’ this mysterious third person, is ‘Not someone you want to get on the wrong side of.’
Who can this person be? Viewers are speculating an old rival of Kim’s could be coming back to destroy her, someone like Joe Tate (Ned Porteous). And we know that Christmas is going to erupt in violence this year.
Is Kim heading for real trouble this time? Or could she turn the tables as she’s done so often in the past?
