The clock is ticking for Will in Emmerdale spoilers

1. Will’s blackmailer is awaiting payment

Will’s blackmailer isn’t going to stop until they’ve squeezed every last penny from him. They’ve upped their demand to £50k, which left Will in a sweat because he knew he didn’t have the cash to hand.

Desperate times called for desperate measures and Will was forced to turn to Caleb for help. He asked for a loan in return for his shares in Home James Haulage – and cunning Caleb was only too happy to oblige.

The transfer was duly made, and now Will has the full sum to pay his tormentor. But will that be the end of it? As if!
