Emmerdale viewers are calling for Kim Tate to explore her villainous side once more like in the ITV soap’s past, as Rose Jackson continues to plot to destroy her

Emmerdale’s Rose Jackson could be facing a deadly downfall, if Kim Tate takes her ruthless revenge as hoped for by fans.

Viewers think Kim, once one of soap’s biggest villains before taming things, could finally return to her darker side. She has yet to find out Rose Jackson has teamed up with Ruby Miligan to bring her down, while the truth looks set to come out to some degree in upcoming scenes.

Kim knows Rose is deliberately riling her up, managing to get her family onside and push Kim out. But Kim doesn’t know the full extent of Rose’s games, or the twisted truth about what she has planned for her.

That said, fans think or at least hope that Rose’s downfall is set, and Kim will take dramatic revenge once she does find out what’s been going on. Rose and Ruby have been plotting to destroy Kim for weeks, with it clear they have a plan up their sleeves.

As part of the plan, Rose has been working on getting ex Will on side, tasked with splitting him and wife Kim up for good. Kim didn’t exactly help herself this week, as a kind gesture landed her in hot water with Will and stepdaughter Dawn.

Kim took the blame for something amid baby Evan’s recent hospital dash, as he developed a cough when his health bubble was broken. Evan was diagnosed with leukaemia earlier this year, and he’s been in hospital having treatment.

The chemotherapy treatment weakened his immune system with mum Dawn fretting over anyone outside of the bubble bringing germs to the house once he was allowed to go home. When Billy, Evan’s dad, broke the bubble, Kim covered for him and claimed it was her, and now Dawn is excluding Kim – with Will also not on good terms with her.

Rose is loving it and playing up, isolating Kim further while making herself look good to Dawn. Kim isn’t rising to it, but fans are hopeful the truth about Rose targeting her will lead to her finally getting payback and exposing Rose.

Taking to X, one fan said: “I’m ready for Rose to have a go at Kim in order for Ms. Tate to return to her evil self.” Another said: “I really want her to end Rose like yesterday,” as a third agreed: “I want the old Kim back.” A further comment read: “Nah we need evil Kim back.”
