As Kim Tate is revealed as Will’s blackmailer in Emmerdale, all the other times Queen Kim has proved no one is a match for her

Kim Tate in Emmerdale is nobody’s fool. So many people have tried to get one over on her throughout the years and so many people have failed!

This week, her husband Will Taylor discovered – to his absolute horror – that Kim was the person behind his blackmail torment.

Kim knew he’d slept with his ex, Rose, and she was making him pay in the most drawn-out way, ever.

And Will’s not the first foolish man to think he could pull the wool over Ms Tate’s eyes. Here’s a few other times Kim came out on top.

Faking her own death – the first time

Kim’s marriage to Frank Tate was turbulent, to say the very least! She cheated with Dave Glover and when she found out she was pregnant, wasn’t sure who the father was. But son Jamie’s dad turned out to be Frank. When Dave died rescuing the baby from a fire, Kim went off the rails.

She paid a lookalike woman to drive her car round the village so everyone would think she was still there – and fled to the Caribbean. But things went a little awry when the woman was found dead at the wheel and Frank identified the body as Kim. He served time on remand, charged with his wife’s murder! But he was released when Kim showed up again.

Leaving Frank to die

The shock of finding out that Kim wasn’t actually dead, caused Frank to have a heart attack! He collapsed on the floor and Kim didn’t go for help. “You’re a dinosaur, Frank,” she said. “And you know what happened to them.”

She waited for him to die, then she calmly pulled out her makeup compact and used the mirror to check if he was breathing. When she saw he wasn’t, she powdered her nose!

Framing Steve

Kim married Steve Marchant and the pair were soon facing financial troubles. They decided to steal an expensive horse and sell it, but replace it with an older, less valuable nag before passing it on.

When Steve stole the horsebox, though, he ran over Kathy Glover. In a panic, he later tried to off poor Kathy in the hospital, too. Kim managed to manipulate Kathy into thinking Steve was the only one responsible, framing him for the crime.

Seducing her stepson

Kim had buried a bag of money in Frank’s grave and she was horrified to discover her stepson Chris Tate had discovered it.

Desperate to get her hands on the cash, she seduced Chris then whacked him over the head with a paperweight.

Kim made her escape with son James and the cash in a helicopter. When the pilot asked if she was Kim Marchant, she replied: “No, I’m Kim Tate.”

Faking her own death – the second time

Kim’s son Jamie Tate was a right piece of work but even his once-adoring mum wasn’t going to let him get away with it!

When she found out Jamie had been poisoning her, she teamed up with Will – now her husband, then her ex – to get revenge.

They came up with an elaborate plan involving fake ambulances and police officers, to fool Jamie into thinking he’d killed his mum!

Foiling Caleb’s plan

When he arrived in Emmerdale Caleb Miligan thought he was going to stroll into the village and take everything Kim had. Ha! How wrong he was.

While Caleb was busy scheming to empty Kim’s accounts, she had worked out what he was up to. She hid all her cash, and told Caleb it was time to give up! Now Caleb’s scheming again and we can’t help think he’s not going to win this one, either.
