Emmerdale fans’ latest theory predicts Jimmy is the mastermind behind Will’s blackmail scandal. Despite the duo being close pals, soap viewers are convinced that Jimmy is actually the mystery person tormenting Will.
Following his cheating on wife Kim with Rose, Will has been subjected to numerous threats by a mystery person, who has found out about his unfaithfulness – which Jimmy knows all about.
Here’s everything you need to know about Will’s blackmail plot in Emmerdale.
Emmerdale: Will blackmailed by mystery person
Will has been being targeted by a mystery blackmailer ever since Rose disappeared. This followed his cheating on wife Kim with Rose.
He’s received numerous calls and also lots of texts from the mystery person, as well as a bouquet of flowers coupled with ominous message ‘I know what you did.’ While it seemed obvious to presume Rose was behind the blackmail plot, Will has since realised it can’t be her as she’s abroad.
The blackmailer has now took things to the next level, by making deep fake videos of Will and Rose together. Will and Jimmy received the videos via their joint work email address, leaving them speechless afterwards.
Emmerdale fan theory: Jimmy is tormenting Will?
