Emmerdale fans are buzzing with theories about the true culprit behind Rose

Jackson’s disappearance, and many are convinced it’s not Kim Tate. After revealing her

devious plan to her ex-husband, Will Taylor, and plotting revenge against Kim, Rose vanished

from the village under mysterious circumstances.

Last week, Rose’s scheme to seduce Will and disrupt his marriage to Kim was exposed. Her motive? To get back at Kim for forcing her out of the village by paying off her debts, which led Kim to move out of Home Farm and temporarily stay at a B&B. Kim eventually discovered Rose’s plot, but the situation took a darker turn on Friday when Rose was seen being driven to a secluded spot in the countryside by Kim and Will.

Shortly after being left alone, Rose was startled by the arrival of a car, and then she disappeared, leaving behind her bag, a drawing from her grandchildren, and a hospital letter scattered in a nearby field. While some fans immediately suspected Kim of returning to confront and potentially kill her rival, others have proposed a different theory suggesting that Will might be the real culprit.

A Reddit user theorized that Rose might have drugged Will before their encounter, which could be seen as rape. They speculated that Will, feeling remorseful or trying to silence Rose, might have returned to ensure she remained quiet. The theory further suggested that Rose, angry and seeking revenge, might have taunted Will, leading to an altercation. In a fit of rage or by accident—such as pushing her and causing her to hit her head—Will might have killed Rose and then panicked, disposing of her body and leaving her belongings behind.

Another fan pointed out that the vehicle seen arriving near Rose was a Home Farm car, raising questions about whether it was driven by someone from Home Farm or if someone like Ruby had stolen it to frame the Home Farm residents. They also noted that if there were witnesses, they might have important information.

However, some viewers are skeptical of the rape theory, believing it doesn’t fit the tone of the storyline. They argue that handling such a sensitive subject as male rape would require careful and respectful treatment, which might not align with the current narrative. Additionally, there’s speculation that Ruby, involved in the plot, might be too integral to the story to be written out, especially if the storyline involves Rose being a bone marrow match for Evan, suggesting she might not be dead after all.

In summary, while Kim Tate remains a prime suspect in the eyes of some fans, the theory that Will Taylor could be behind Rose’s disappearance and possible death is gaining traction, adding layers of intrigue and suspense to the ongoing storyline.
