Emmerdale’s ‘most harmless villager’ behind Will blackmail plot as fans twig culprit
Emmerdale viewers are convinced they have rumbled who is blackmailing Will Taylor as they took to social media to share their theories about the ITV soap
Emmerdale fans believe they’ve cracked the case on who’s the mastermind tormenting Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) on the ITV favourite, and it’s an unexpected twist.
In nail-biting scenes, Will has been left shaken as an unknown foe launched a blackmail scheme against him. Initially, Will suspected his estranged ex Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco), especially after their recent spat.
However, when he attempted to confront her via a callback to the mystery number, it was clear she wasn’t the culprit. The blackmailer upped the stakes demanding a whopping £10,000, forcing Will to part with his posh timepiece to meet the demand.
There’s only one other character clued into his dilemma – business partner Jimmy King (Nick Miles), reports the Express.
Given Jimmy’s current financial woes, even contemplating offloading his stake in the haulage company, some soap aficionados are betting Jimmy is behind the twisted plot.
A flock of fans took to an Emmerdale fan group on Facebook to air their suspicions. One asserted: “I think Jimmy is blackmailing Will.”
Another echoed the sentiment: “I’ve said him”, followed by someone else adding: “I think its Jimmy.”
The theories didn’t stop there, with others bluntly siding with the speculation: “True”, and another declaring: “Yes, it’s him.”
It remains to be seen who is behind the blackmail horror but the storyline will continue across the next few episodes, leaving viewers gripped. Meanwhile, Emmerdale is set for explosive scenes this September.
The hit ITV soap recently released a new dramatic trailer teasing the upcoming drama, where it’s revealed that lives will hang in the balance as a devastating barn fire rages with people trapped inside. A synopsis teases: “Moira (Natalie J Robb) hasn’t been acting herself recently, but when Cain (Jeff Hordley) questions her behaviour her reaction ignites a devastating chain of events.
“Nate (Jurell Carter) and Tracy’s (Amy Walsh) relationship seems to be back on track, but will it all come crashing down before their fresh new start can even begin? And elsewhere, Belle’s (Eden Taylor-Draper) torment from husband Tom (James Chase) continues. As he tightens his emotional grip will she be able to get the help she so desperately needs?”
