Billy blamed for a crime he did not commit in Emmerdale – as the real culprit causes chaos
Will Taylor’s (Dean Andrews) having a tough time of it of late in Emmerdale, what with his marriage imploding and allowing himself to be seduced by a con artist.
Now there’s two fresh bothers to add to the pile – his haulage company is going under, and he thinks the betrayal comes from someone close to home.
On top of his family issues around Rose Jackson’s (Christine Tremarco) disappearance, Will is now facing huge problems with Home James Haulage, thanks in part to Jimmy King’s (Nick Miles) ineptitude, and in part to Caleb Miligan’s (Will Ash) new revenge plan.
Caleb sabotaged a run and cost them a huge contract, before hiring a corrupt inspector to catch Jimmy out having overrun on his hours, which saw him slapped with a hefty fine.
With no clue that Caleb is after them, Will and Jimmy are in deep whatsit and plan to do ‘whatever it takes’ haul the haulage firm out of the gutter.
Caleb isn’t done causing havoc for the haulage company and Will is shocked when someone from HMRC shows up and checks the vans for red diesel.
Now that the yard is under further investigation, Will turns on Jimmy.
Jimmy has had enough of Will’s behaviour towards him and for once, gives as good as he gets. This is a bonus for Caleb, their business relationship is cracking along with the business itself.
Will is growing suspicious that this isn’t just a run of bad luck, and he makes a terrible error in judgement when he makes a strong accusation – he accuses Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) of sabotaging the firm.
Billy is dumbfounded at the suggestion, and it seems Will has gone too far this time. Has Will just added an extra problem to the pile – a disgruntled son-in-law?
