Last night’s episode of Emmerdale saw Kim and Will finally bury the hatchet to give their relationship another go. This came as Will survived Ross’s attack – having joined forces to convince her that he’d been killed.
In spite of Will’s deceit, the couple managed to settle their differences. After Kim admitted that she just wanted to end all the arguing, they fell into a passionate kiss – and agreed to give their marriage another go.
And the pair remained loved-up tonight (Tuesday, November 27). As she filled Dawn in on recent events, Kim even went so far as to describe Will as one of the only two men she’d ever loved. No, we don’t see it either, but whatever floats your boat, Kim.
But who was the other love of Kim Tate’s life?
The ‘other’ love of Kim Tate’s life – who was Dave Glover on Emmerdale?
Speaking to the Metro back in 2020, actor Claire King, who plays Kim Tate, revealed who she thinks first stole Kim’s heart… and no, it wasn’t her husband, Frank Tate.
According to Claire, Dave Glover was the only man to steal Kim’s heart. A member of a local ‘roving gypsy clan,’ Dave had a steamy affair with Kim behind the back of his partner, Kathy Glover and Kim’s husband, Frank.
During their affair, Kim fell pregnant with her son, James. It was then that Frank offered Kim £1million to leave Dave, also forbidding his love rival from contact with baby James (who he believed was his own.)
They resumed their relationship while he was engaged to Kathy, planning to leave the village together. However, their relationship came to an abrupt end when a fire broke out in James’s nursery – trapping Dave, who later died of his injuries.
“He was her one,” reveals Claire King
Speaking to the Metro at the time, Claire said: “I honestly believe that he was [her true love]. I think she still believes that it was possibly Dave’s baby. Frank went to get a test done but he had to bribe them so there’s still that grey area although Jamie thinks Frank’s his father and Kim’s let that ride.”
“I think in her heart of heart she still thinks there’s a possibility it could be his. He was definitely the love of her life up until Graham.”
“With his death you’ve seen how affected she was by it and she’s realised she didn’t make her feelings known to him as she should have done, as she really did care for him but I doubt as much as she did for Dave, I think it’s fair to say Dave was her one.”
