Kim lashes out following shocking betrayal in Emmerdale as Lydia reels – “And you can’t ignore these terrifying revelations.”

Emmerdale icon Kim Tate (Claire King) is known for her love of horses. She memorably rode to her wedding with Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) on a horse called Ice and has often been seen riding him.

This is the same horse who was complicit in the d.e.a.t.h of Craig Reed (Ben Addis), the man who raped Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick). There were lots of people who were keen to see Craig d.e.a.d, but it was a blow from the horse’s hoof that eventually finished him off.

Sadly both the horse and Kim suffered a nasty accident last week while Kim was out investigating reports of illegal shooting taking place on her land.

In upcoming episodes, as Kim recovers from her injuries there’s worse news for poor Ice. It’s found that his injury is terminal and Joe (Ned Porteous) feels he has no option but to have him euthanised.

Kim is heartbroken by this news and blames Joe, lashing out at him furiously for taking the decision without talking to her.

Lydia feels incredibly guilty, knowing that it was Sam (James Hooton) who organised the illegal shoot to try to raise some cash for the Dingles. Lydia helped him by keeping Kim distracted, partly because she was angry with Kim at the time. What she didn’t know was that Kim was planning a surprise appearance by Lydia’s idol Jason Donovan especially for her.

Lydia’s guilt is compounded when Kim names her as a major beneficiary in her will. Kim’s fury at Joe and also at Dawn (Olivia Bromley) for trying to back him up, means that she do

Joe tries to get advice from Sam about how to handle the situation, while Dawn makes overtures to Kim to try to mend their relationship.
