But in a recent episode, devious Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) has been plotting to

take Kim down. To help put her plan into action, she enlisted the help of Kim’s love rival

Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco) – the ex-wife of Will (Dean Andrews) – to make it happen.

Their scheme has even included Rose, who is also mum to Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley), impersonating Kim.

On a darker note, Rose has also framed Kim for spiking Dawn’s drink which consequently caused a car crash.

Although viewers of the ITV soap know Rose was responsible for the spiking, having paid off a dealer, she deceptively staged an intervention to make it appear Kim was at fault. Kim also clocked Rose was behind the disaster.

Meanwhile, Dawn declared she was moving out of Home Farm and taking her kids with her claiming they wouldn’t be safe around her step-mum Kim.

However, Kim packed her bags and walked out and checked into a local B&B despite owning the huge home.

It is not the first challenge she’s faced in keeping Home Farm, following Caleb’s (William Ash) plot to take over the estate.

Next week, Rose’s plan gets deeper when she goes in for the kill and tries to sleep with her ex-husband Will, behind Kim Tate’s back. But will he go through with it?

Fans have been left wondering why Kim would concede the property to Will and his family without putting up a fight and demand she takes it back, and kicks out Rose, Dawn and her husband Will.

Taking to an Emmerdale fan group on Facebook, one fan stated: “What I don’t understand is that Dawn and her family swan it around Kim’s house like they own it – giving ultimatums and orders to Kim and Kim knows she didn’t spike the drink – if I were her I’d chuck those freeloaders out pronto!.”

A second stated: “She’s delusional if she thinks that Kim will put up with all their crap, Wait for the fireworks to start.”

A third chimed in: “The thing that gets me is the way she (Dawn) is controlling Kim and Home Farm which unless I’ve been in a coma is Kim’s house, Dawn is on about virus control yet she invited a random stranger to live in Kim’s house and now has the audacity to treat Kim like dirt.

“I think it’s about time Kim snapped and actually threw all the freeloaders out, Kim’s character needs to show her dark side again!”

“Agree she been far too nice lately bring back nasty Kim”, urged one fan as another echoed: “Totally agree been saying tell that lot to get out, they’re letting KIM go soft and that’s not her.”
