Kim Tate’s (Claire King) dark side has finally returned in Emmerdale

after making a huge discovery about Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco).

At last!

This week, Rose’s ongoing plan to destroy Kim saw her try and drug Will Taylor (Dean Andrews).

On Thursday (July 18), Rose slipped a drug into Will’s prosecco after meeting with a dealer, but didn’t plan on Kim and Dawn (Olivia Bromley) entering the kitchen and joining them for a drink.

This left Rose in a tricky situation. She had muddled the drinks and wasn’t able to pinpoint who had been spiked. At first, she thought it was still Will after he started feeling poorly, but then Dawn ended up in hospital after a car crash.

When Kim and Will arrived to see Dawn, she put forward the theory she had been spiked. Back at Home Farm, Dawn confronted her family and said she knows she’s looking at the person responsible, and then accused Kim.

As soon as Kim was made to look like the culprit, Rose took advantage. In tonight’s (July 19) episode of the ITV soap, she continued to do her best to make Kim feel as isolated as possible.

At Home Farm, as another argument unfolded between Rose, Kim and the Taylors, the dealer Rose met with burst into the house and confronted Kim.

The comments from the man made it look as though he was talking to Kim about the drugs she had purchased. Of course, this moment was cleverly orchestrated by Rose, and it worked perfectly.

Now she had ‘confirmation’, Dawn took action to get as far away from Kim as possible by packing her things and preparing to leave. Just before this though, Billy (Jay Kontzle) pointed out it wouldn’t be safe for little Evan if they moved.

Kim overheard their conversation and ended up agreeing. To protect Evan, Kim concluded she would move out instead.

Arriving at the B&B, Kim opened up to Lydia (Karen Blick) about Rose. She said she absolutely has Rose sussed, but is just waiting for the right moment to pounce and get revenge.

That evening, just as Kim took a phone call, Rose was seen in the village talking to her dealer.

Kim Tate’s (Claire King) dark side has once again resurfaced in Emmerdale as the tension between her and Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco) continues to escalate. After Rose’s failed attempt to drug Will Taylor (Dean Andrews), the situation has only gotten more complicated. As Dawn (Olivia Bromley) found herself in the hospital after a car crash, suspicions arose about who was truly responsible for spiking the drinks. Dawn, convinced that Kim was behind it all, confronted her at Home Farm, causing a rift in the family dynamic. Rose wasted no time in capitalizing on the chaos, manipulating the situation to further isolate Kim. In a twist of events, a drug dealer that Rose had previously met with made an unexpected appearance at Home Farm, adding fuel to the fire. The dealer’s comments seemed to implicate Kim in the drug scandal, pushing Dawn to make the decision to distance herself from Kim for the safety of her son, Evan. As tensions continued to rise, Kim made the difficult choice to move out in order to protect Evan. Opening up to Lydia (Karen Blick) about her suspicions of Rose, Kim revealed her plans for revenge. Despite the challenges she faced, Kim remained determined to take down Rose once and for all. With the drama unfolding in Emmerdale, viewers are left on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the next move in this intense feud. Stay tuned for more twists and turns as the battle between Kim and Rose reaches new heights.
