There is nothing more unsettling than knowing exactly who your blackmailer is, then discovering it isn’t them at all, right? Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) finds himself in this exact dilemma in Emmerdale, and he’s going to need a change of shorts to cope with this news.

It’s come to light exactly what happened to Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco), and coincidentally at the same time Will’s life began to completely fall apart – so it’s obvious his ex is behind it.

He has the blackmailer’s, AKA Rose’s, number and gives them a ring. But after the call, he notices an integral detail that completely absolves Rose of any link to the crime.

Yikes, this throws Will through a loop. Time to pivot on those blackmailer theories. This fresh sense of the unknown has his guts tied up in knots, and both him and Jimmy King (Nick Miles) are baffled over who it could be.

Will is even more worried what this mystery hater might do.

The final straw to stir him to action is when he receives an email to his work account containing porn images with his and Rose’s faces super imposed on. This is not good news.

Whoever it is knows he cheated on Kim Tate (Claire King), and he is not about to let her find out. He resolves to ignore it, not the wisest of moves, as shortly afterwards he receives another deep fake video on his phone. This is no time for him to bury his head in the sand.
