Emmerdale fans are buzzing with theories as Will Taylor becomes embroiled in a new blackmail scandal. Despite initial suspicions surrounding Rose Jackson, it seems that the mystery blackmailer could be someone else entirely.

Following Rose Jackson’s abrupt departure from Home Farm, her ex-husband Will has found himself targeted by an anonymous blackmailer. This unknown figure is demanding money in exchange for keeping quiet about a secret rendezvous they had together. Last week, Will was startled to receive a bouquet of flowers at Home Farm, accompanied by a chilling note that read, “I know what you did.”

The blackmail threat has come on the heels of Kim Tate’s return to Home Farm. Kim, having returned after Rose’s ousting, is yet unaware of the kiss Will shared with Rose before her exit. Dawn Taylor, Will’s daughter, has since learned that her father forced Rose out of Emmerdale, leading to Rose leaving Home Farm with her children. Despite this, Will has managed to keep the incident with Rose a secret from Kim.

In a bid to figure out who is behind the blackmail, Will confided in Jimmy King about the troubling messages. Fans have been speculating about the identity of the blackmailer, with many pointing fingers at Caleb Milligan. Caleb has been busy setting up a rival business to Home Farm and has been accused of being involved in shady dealings to advance his goals.

Theories about Caleb being the blackmailer are gaining traction on social media. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) commented, “I can’t wait for Will to find out that it’s Caleb and Ruby blackmailing him. Caleb better watch out!” Another added, “That’s why it’s going to be great, even Will will find out!” A third fan remarked, “All Caleb wants to do is bribe people,” while another echoed, “Dodgy Caleb, always ducking and diving.” There’s even a suggestion that Kim Tate might already have her suspicions about Caleb, with his potential downfall looming.

As the blackmail drama unfolds, fans are eagerly anticipating how Will will react when he discovers the true identity of his tormentor.
