Emmerdale fans are not happy about the latest twist in Rose and Ruby‘s campaign to make Kim Tate’s life a misery!

And they’re demanding that things change soon or they’ll be turning off their televisions!

Rose [CHRISTINE TREMARCO] receives a mysterious message and heads to the outskirts of the village where she meets a dealer who gives Rose a vial of tranquilliser telling her to await further instruction.

Revenge for Rose and Ruby!

Rose is working for Ruby, who seems to be out for revenge on Kim, for reasons that aren’t completely clear.

And that means she’s taking every opportunity to drive a wedge between Kim and husband Will. Most recently she took delivery of some drugs – paid for by Ruby – that she intended to use to spike Will’s drink, and then take advantage of his snoozy state to make it look like she’d seduced him.

The plot backfired when the glasses got muddled up and Dawn drank the spiked drink.

Everyone thought Kim was to blame – especially after Ruby arranged for the drug dealer to march into Home Farm and demand payment from a bewildered Kim.

Rose dug the knife in further with daughter Dawn, encouraging her to blame Kim, and Kim – realising she couldn’t win – moved out of her own home and into the B&B.

Rose [CHRISTINE TREMARCO] saves the day when Dawn Fletcher [OLIVIA BROMLEY] forgets Clemmie’s birthday, successfully pulling off a spontaneous birthday party, leaving Dawn and Will Taylor [DEAN ANDREWS] grateful but Kim Tate [CLAIRE KING] excluded and uninvited.

The winner takes it all

It looks like Rose and Ruby have won – for now – but Kim’s playing the long game. At least, we hope that’s what she’s doing!

The viewers, though, are NOT impressed.

They’re fuming that Kim has had to move away from her own home and they’re ready to take action if things don’t change!

“My blood is boiling with the Kim storyline,” said one disgruntled viewer. Another agreed: “It’s getting me so angry I can barely look at the screen when Dawn, Rose or Will are on.”

 

“The Kim and Rose storyline is the most ANNOYING thing,” fumed another fan.  “After everything Kim’s done for Dawn and she believes Rose who’s only been there for five mins!!”

Another viewer said the storyline was “stupid” pointing out that Kim would never leave her own home.

Just as Will Taylor [DEAN ANDREWS] is about to take a drink from the spiked drink, Dawn Fletcher [OLIVIA BROMLEY] and Kim Tate [CLAIRE KING] return home and two more drinks are poured meaning Rose [CHRISTINE TREMARCO] loses track of which drink is spiked.. She panics as her plan has gone badly awry...

Biding her time?

But one fan – who has clearly been an Emmerdale fan since the glory days of the Tates ruling Home Farm – had some advice for other viewers.

“Stay calm!” the knowledgeable fan reassured everyone. “Kim will have the last laugh, she always bides her time.”

There was even a prediction that Ruby could end up at the bottom of the stairs!

While we’re not sure the all new, softer Kim Tate would go that far, we are hoping that Ruby and Rose get their comeuppance soon!
