Will is alive, last night’s episode of Emmerdale revealed. This came as he survived Ross‘s attack, which had been at the behest of scheming Kim – in an attempt to make her mooching husband leave the village.

Given a scare after Ross and Will led her to believe she’d gotten him killed, a relieved Kim made up with Will as he returned home, revealing how he’d teamed up with Ross to turn the tables.

And, as they headed back down from the bedroom more loved-up than ever, it seemed as though their marriage was back on track.

Later, as Will met with Kim’s former flame, Peter, he seemed keen to back out of their arrangement. Love’s not dead after all, and neither is Will.

Shame.

Emmerdale fans left disappointed as Will lives

Writing on X as these scenes aired, fans shared their disappointment at the continued survival of Will Taylor – who many suspected may have been killed on Friday.

“Oh Emmerdale had the opportunity to get rid of Will,” said one dismayed viewer.

“So we’ve got Will for the foreseeable then,” sighed another.

“Knew it was good to be true that we’d be rid of Will,” a third said.

“Will’s still alive. My disappointment overflows,” wrote a fourth.

Has the soap wasted an opportunity to get rid of ‘dead wood’ Will?

Operation destroy Kim continues

There was a further twist in store last night with the arrival of scheming solicitor Peter.

As Will met with Peter to call their plan off, the soap revealed that the pair had teamed up to bring Kim down.

Will is now having second thoughts after reconciling with Kim, but is it too late to call things off?
