EMMERDALE’S Kim Tate continued to defend her husband Will Taylor despite warnings from Lydia Dingle.

Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco) was at odds with Kim (Claire King) ever since turning up in the Dales.

Kim finally exposed her for spiking Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) and Will (Dean Andrews) agreed to collude with his wife in getting rid of Rose.

Will then sent Dawn texts from Rose’s phone saying that she had left and wouldn’t be coming back.

After discovering the truth, a furious Dawn confronted her dad and made it clear that their relationship was over.

Although Rose spiked her, in the end her mum was the one to come clean and tell Dawn the truth about her plot to ruin Kim’s life for cash.

In contrast, Will kept peddling his lies about Rose’s disappearance, denying any knowledge of it until Dawn revealed she knew the truth.

In tonight’s episode, cleaner Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) wished to tell Kim something about Will.

But Kim refused to hear her out and constantly interrupted her to defend her husband.

Kim said: “Let me stop you right there. You’re about to tell me about Rose trying it on with Will. Well I know all about it. And it wasn’t entirely his fault.

“He’s assured me that nothing else’s happened. And I believe him.

“I appreciate your concern, but I don’t want to talk about it anymore. It’s my marriage, my business. So please, just stay out of it.”

Lydia nodded as she was silenced – but has Kim made a huge mistake?
