Emmerdale confirms mystery new romance for Kim
Kim Tate (Claire King) appears to be ready to move forward in the world of romance in Emmerdale. Over Christmas, Kim lost her partner Will Taylor (Dean Andrews), who died after having a heart attack. Because Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) returned at the same time, Kim's focus so far in 2025 has predominantly been on him. Convinced that Joe was hiding something, Kim attempted to find out his secrets by hiding an audio bug in his room. Kim's plan failed, meaning she didn't learn that Joe was plotting to steal Caleb Miligan's (William Ash) kidney. In recent weeks, Kim has acted as an advice giver for other people in Home Farm, rather than being at the centre of the drama herself. She was on hand to offer her thoughts on Dawn Taylor's (Olivia Bromley) affair with Joe, and also tried to support Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) after his marriage broke down. Things look set to change for Kim soon, as tonight's episode saw her acting suspiciously. In the lounge, Kim was listening to Joe, who believes someone is trying to blackmail him. It was obvious Joe was troubled by the fact someone had previously been in his bedroom but the problem? Kim wasn't exactly paying attention. More Trending Instead, she was focused on the fact her phone was pinging. As she sent Joe to the kitchen, Kim wasted no time in sending a somewhat flirty text to someone called Eddie.
