In a stunning turn of events on Emmerdale, fans are convinced that Rose Jackson, who recently
disappeared, is not actually dead. The character, portrayed by Christine Tregloan, made her
debut earlier this year as the estranged ex-wife of Will Taylor and the mother of Dawn Taylor.
Her storyline took a dramatic twist when it was revealed that she was being blackmailed by Ruby Fox-Milligan, who had sinister plans to destroy Kim Tate’s life.
Rose’s schemes led Kim to be forced out of her home, igniting a fierce rivalry between them. Amidst all this chaos, Dot Cotton correctly surmised that Rose was not working alone and that a hidden puppet master was orchestrating events behind the scenes. Kim, furious and seeking revenge, was unaware of the affair between Will and Rose, which Rose had secretly recorded. Kim and Will confronted Rose at Home Farm and demanded that she leave immediately.
During Thursday’s episode, tensions reached a peak when Kim and Will drove Rose to a desolate area and abandoned her. However, the episode took an unexpected twist when Rose was approached by a mysterious figure. The stranger, who arrived in a car, startled Rose but the scene cut before viewers could see what happened next. All that was left behind were Rose’s personal items—her bag, a drawing from her grandchildren, and a hospital letter scattered on the grass.
The absence of Rose, the car, and the mysterious person led to widespread speculation among fans. Many are now convinced that Rose is not dead and that her disappearance is part of an elaborate setup. On social media, viewers expressed their doubts, noting that leaving such personal items behind would be unusual if a murder had truly occurred.
One fan on an Emmerdale Facebook page pointed out, “Why would a killer leave something so personal behind if they had committed a murder?” Another viewer agreed, suggesting, “This is definitely a setup.” The prevailing theory is that Will, wanting to cover up his involvement and keep Rose quiet, transported her to a train station or airport with hush money, staging the scene to look like a kidnapping or murder.
The absence of Rose’s phone among the left-behind items further fueled the speculation. Some fans pointed out that if the situation were genuine, her phone would likely be among her possessions. The lack of her phone suggests that the scene was staged to mislead viewers and make it seem as if Rose was in grave danger or worse.
Overall, the episode has left fans on edge, piecing together clues and debating the true fate of Rose Jackson. With the possibility of a setup in play, the mystery surrounding her disappearance has only deepened, setting the stage for more dramatic revelations in future episodes of Emmerdale.
