Emmerdale’s Kim Tate (Claire King) is left speechless next week when Ross Barton (Michael Parr) arrives at Home Farm to declare that Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) is dead.
Will, as viewers know, was attacked by Ross on Friday (November 22), having been put up to such a thing by Kim, who wanted to get her ex out of her life once and for all.
Kim, however, made it quite clear when she tasked Ross with the mission that she didn’t want Will dead, she just wanted him out of the village.
But the mission went sideways when Ross was unmasked by Will during a scuffle outside Holdgate. Ross attempted to tackle Will into the back of the van but Will fought back.
In a bid to reclaim control, Ross pushed Will, who fell backwards and smacked his head on a rock. He swiftly became lifeless, much to the horror of Ross, who noticed a pool of blood by the former Home Farm groundskeeper’s head.
Fans were left wondering if Will had perished and the above clip – taken from Monday’s (November 25) edition of the ITV soap – certainly seems to suggest that this is the case as a panicked Ross arrives at Home Farm.
‘You were meant to call me yesterday the minute the job was done!’, exclaims Kim as she sets her sights on Ross, who is visibly shaken, as he informs her that he’s not going to be able to live with what he’s done.
Confused, Kim asks him to elaborate – and she gets quite an answer.
‘It all went wrong!’, shouts Ross. ‘I didn’t mean it to but it did. I’ve killed him. Will’s dead!’.
Kim reels and, for possibly the first time in her life, she’s well and truly speechless. Given that she was recently catching feelings for her ex once more, will she be left devastated by this development?
