Emmerdale spoilers reveal a heart-stopping twist in Friday’s (November 22) episode, leaving Will Taylor fighting for his life after a shocking altercation with Ross Barton. But what led to this life-threatening moment? With Kim Tate’s scheming and Ross’s reckless behavior at the center of it all, viewers are in for a dramatic episode full of twists and tension.
Ross and Kim’s Dangerous Deal
Ross Barton, as we’ve come to expect, has been up to no good since his return to Emmerdale. But this time, his antics lead him straight into the path of Kim Tate. Caught on CCTV trying to steal Kim’s car, Ross finds himself cornered by the Home Farm matriarch. And in classic Kim fashion, she’s quick to turn the situation to her advantage.
Kim offers Ross a deal: stay silent about the attempted theft and, in return, do her dirty work. The task? Get rid of her estranged husband, Will Taylor, who’s been causing her no end of trouble since their messy breakup. But while Kim’s words were loaded with venom, she made it clear she wasn’t looking for bloodshed. Her instructions were specific: teach Will a lesson, but let him live.
Speaking about Kim’s mindset, Claire King, who plays the iconic character, shared: “Kim is in a really vulnerable position. Will’s betrayal has hurt her deeply, but she’s not ready to lose control of her empire. That’s what drives her decisions – keeping her power intact.”
A Moment of Joy Before Disaster Strikes
While Kim and Ross plotted, Will was busy rebuilding his fractured relationships. After a heartfelt chat with his daughter, Dawn, Will seemed to be turning over a new leaf. He even managed to make amends for the tension caused by his past with his ex-lover, Rose. But in true Emmerdale fashion, his happiness was short-lived.
As Will said his goodnights to Dawn outside Holdgate, a masked assailant attacked him. In the scuffle, Will fought back, eventually unmasking his attacker to reveal Ross. But before he could make sense of the betrayal, Ross pushed him during the fight. Will hit his head on a rock, leaving a pool of blood and a chilling silence as he lay motionless. Dean Andrews, who portrays Will, teased the dramatic moment: “Will’s finally in a good place with Dawn, and then this happens. It’s devastating. He’s fought so hard to make things right, but life in Emmerdale never stays quiet for long.”
Kim’s Feelings and Ross’s Regret
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen flickers of affection between Kim and Will despite their messy history. Could this tragedy reignite old feelings? Ross, on the other hand, is left to grapple with the consequences of his actions. Michael Parr, who plays Ross, gave insight into his character’s turmoil: “Ross isn’t a bad guy at heart, but he’s always been a survivor. This moment is a turning point – does he face the fallout or run away from it all?”
With Will’s fate hanging in the balance, Emmerdale spoilers hint at dramatic consequences that will ripple through the village. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily to see how Kim reacts when she finds out what’s happened. Will Ross’s guilt force him to come clean? And most importantly, will Will survive?
