‘s Kim Tate could be in for a rude awakening over the festive period as a familiar face is tipped to return.
Ever since Kim (played by Claire King) discovered that Will (Dean Andrews) cheated on her with Rose (Christine Tremarco), the couple have been plotting against each other to take their spouse down.
It all began when Kim staged an elaborate blackmail plot to take revenge on Will, forcing him to hand over money in exchange for keeping his fling with Rose a secret.
They eventually reconciled, however, Will was not so forgiving and has been planning to take his wife for every penny that she’s got.
Will has now joined forces with Kim’s financial advisor Peter, who is determined to take Kim down. The former solicitor and dodgy lawyer is also working with his “boss”, whose identity is yet to be revealed.

However, Will’s plans come to a halt on Christmas Eve when he spots Kim lying on the ground following an accident with her horse.
Realising how much he loves his wife, Will attempts to pull the plug on his Christmas Day plans.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk and other press, Claire and Dean revealed that Peter and his mysterious partner have other ideas, suggesting there is someone out there who is hellbent on taking Kim down.
Claire, 62, confessed: “There’s maybe someone he’s dealing with as well,” as Dean echoed: “He’s in cahoots with another who may also want to take Kim down.”
With Peter with someone who wants to take revenge on Kim, fans have speculated that it could be none other than Joe Tate (Ned Porteous).

Joe was last seen in 2018 after Kim ordered (Jeff Hordley) to kill him. He was presumed dead after Cain punched him and he hit his head on his rock.
However, as his body was never seen, viewers are certain that he is still alive and will soon be making his way back to the village.
One wrote: “This ‘boss’ that Will and his crony are referring to. Could it be Joe Tate’s comeback? My wife was a fan of his character, he left too soon.”
Another penned: “If Kim’s secret adversary isn’t Joe Tate, I’ll be extremely disappointed, and if it turns out to be gloomy Jamie, I’ll be livid.”
A third speculated: “Could Joe Tate be the other person overseas scheming against Kim?”
