Emmerdale's Kim prepares to break big news about unexpected new love interest
When Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) spotted her good friend and employer Kim Tate (Claire King) in the cafe in Emmerdale recently she also spotted something else. Kim was looking at messages on her phone, and Lydia – who knows her very well – realised that Kim had a new man in her life.
Obviously she wanted to know more, but Kim wasn't giving much away although we've previously seen her texting someone called Eddie. Lydia guessed it was someone connected with horses, as we all know Kim loves horses, but Kim said no. In fact, her new beau is a cosmetic surgeon.
That's bound to come in handy if she ever decides she needs a few tweakments, but for the time being Lydia was pleased to see her friend looking happier than she has in a while.
On Christmas Day, Kim's husband Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) died unexpectedly of a heart attack.
His death came at the end of a turbulent time for the couple who were daggers-drawn after Will got a bit too close to his ex-wife. Revenge and counter-revenge ensued, with Kim at one point staging a blackmail plot against Will and pushing him into an open grave in the woods.
Will then joined in a plan to destroy Kim and take all of her money, but he changed his mind when he realised he was still in love with her.
As Will collapsed to the floor on Christmas Day, Kim refused to believe his life was really in danger and it was new arrival Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) who pointed out that Will was having a heart attack. In emotional scenes Kim desperately tried to help her husband, but it was too late.
Kim was distraught, as was Will's daughter Dawn (Olivia Bromley). After her father's death Dawn accused Kim of killing him and got her arrested. She also drugged her with ketamine. More Trending
Eventually Dawn came to realise that Will's death wasn't down to Killer Kim, and Kim reassured her that she thought of her as a daughter. To seal the deal she persuaded Dawn to give up her job at the vet's and work for Home Farm Estates instead.

Since then, Kim has been on hand for advice about the Dawn/Billy (Jay Kontzle)/Joe triangle and the two women have been getting on fairly well.
But the usually fearless Kim is definitely worried in upcoming episodes when she realises that it's time to tell the rest of the family about new boyfriend Eddie.
