Emmerdale: As Kim and Will split, all of the breakups the village has seen so far this year

Makeups and breakups are part and parcel of soaps, and Emmerdale is no exception.

Last week, Kim Tate and Will Taylor joined the ever growing list of couples who have split after she ended their marriage due to him keeping the truth about his night with Rose from her.

In true Kim Tate style though, she didn’t simply break up with Will. No, she blackmailed him and then had him dig a grave – as you do.

Only time will tell if they find their way back together. In the meantime, here are the other major Emmerdale couples who have fallen by the wayside this year…

Emmerdale split: Tracy and Nate

Tracy and Nate split earlier this year after she had an affair with Caleb just months into their marriage.

The affair made Tracy realise that she didn’t love Nate and she told the poor guy that she hadn’t even been in love with him on their wedding day. How to kick a man when he is down – you probably could have kept that bit to yourself, hey Tracy…

During the summer, it looked like a reunion might be on the cards and Tracy even agreed to her and Frankie joining Nate in Scotland, where he had received a job offer.

However, after Moira kissed Nate, his family got the wrong end of the stick and turned against him, leading him to leave for Scotland on his own. Though we never actually saw him leave…

Victoria and Jacob

Jacob and Victoria’s relationship initially started out as a secret because she understandably didn’t want people to know she was dating her ex boyfriend’s young son.

Once the relationship was out in the open, Jacob’s dad David left the village after feeling betrayed by his son and ex girlfriend.

The relationship came to an end this year when Jacob turned down a placement in Berlin in order to stay with Victoria. Following this, his mum Leyla accused Victoria of holding her son back.

Victoria agreed with Leyla’s assessment and decided to end things with Jacob, leaving him heartbroken as he begged her to reconsider.

Emmerdale split: Charles and Manpreet

In the wake on his son Ethan’s death, Charles struggled to accept any support from his partner Manpreet and he called time on their relationship.

Charles’ mum Claudette tried to meddle and told Manpreet that there was still a chance for the pair. But with Charles struggling with trust issues, his mind was made up.

Despite the pair getting together in 2021, it was revealed that they’d actually known each other 15 years previously, but she left him at the alter on their wedding day.

Charles cruelly told Manpreet that he hadn’t trusted her since she left him at the alter 20 years ago. So why he got back together with her later and stayed with her for a few years is anybody’s guess…

Emmerdale split: Belle and Tom

One break up we were all ecstatic about was that of Belle and Tom. Having been abusive to Belle for most of their relationship, we were all desperate for her to get the strength to walk away.

That finally happened recently with Belle telling Tom that he can’t control her any more.

During their marriage, Tom mentally tortured Belle. As well as keeping tabs on her every move, he locked her in the house, tried to turn her against her family and even abused her dog Piper in his sick plot.

However, despite the pair no longer being a couple, Tom has continued to try and hurt Belle. One twisted move saw him give Piper away and pretend she had died. It’s easy to see what his new girlfriend Amelia sees in him…

Laurel and Jai

Another couple fans weren’t too upset to see the end of was Jai and Laurel.

The couple went their separate ways earlier this year following their rows over Amit’s departure and Jai’s betrayal of his half-brother Suni.

The line was completely crossed when Jai insulted Laurel’s late husband Ashley, leaving Laurel feeling disgusted that she’d ever married Jai.

In the wake of their split, Jai has continued to be cruel to Laurel. So we think it’s safe to say that those two thankfully won’t be getting back together.

Emmerdale split: Noah and Amelia

This young couple split after Amelia determined that Noah was responsible for Samson being sent to jail.

After Noah admitted he was the one responsible for grassing up Samson, Amelia saw this as a betrayal – given that Samson is the father of her young daughter.

Noah was eager to continue to be a part of young Esther’s life as he has been like a father figure to the girl – even setting up a trust fund for her. But Amelia told him he needed to stay away, even cruelly telling him that Esther is young enough to forget about him.

Amelia has now moved on to abuser Tom, so she may soon come to regret letting Noah go.
