Emmerdale's Kim Tate to drop big bombshell on Dawn Fletcher

Emmerdale's Kim Tate will drop big bombshell on Dawn Fletcher, following Will Taylor's recent death.

Dawn's father Will died on Boxing Day (26 December) last year, after a heated argument with his wife Kim.

Since Will's death, Kim has occupied herself with work and the never-ending family drama at Home Farm. However, last week, viewers were informed of a new love interest for the fan favourite character.

After exchanging flirty texts with a mystery man named Eddie, Kim discussed her new romance with Lydia Dingle. She told her friend that she was worried about breaking the news to Dawn.

Before his death, Will had been planning revenge on Kim by teaming up with her financial advisor Peter to bring her down once and for all. The pair had complied a dossier of evidence against her, for Will to use in their divorce.

Though he later reconsidered, Will's scheme was revealed to Kim by his other accomplice Joe Tate, who twisted the story in his favour.

The revelation led to a fiery showdown between the couple, and when Will suffered a heart attack, unconvinced Kim delayed getting him help.

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
