5 Emmerdale spoilers next week
1. Kidnap ordeal for Kim Tate
A regretful and desperate Will panics when his blackmailer ups the stakes to 50K, after Will missed the last drop due to the barn fire.
Caleb Miligan (William Ash) is surprised when Will asks for a loan in exchange for his shares in the haulage firm, and Will is chipper after securing the funds as he makes big promises to Kim.
But soon the blackmailer demands payment, and once Will has the money from Caleb, he texts the blackmailer to tell them he has the cash.
After Will confesses his deal to fuming business partner Jimmy King (Nick Miles), he returns to Home Farm for lunch - only to find Kim missing.
Will is disturbed to get a call from the blackmailer, telling him they have abducted Kim. Following instructions, Will arrives in a woodland area, desperate to save Kim.
But he's perplexed to find a mannequin dressed like Kim, goading him further into the woods. Will Kim be okay? And who is Will's tormentor?
2. Billy Fletcher hides mysterious call from Dawn Fletcher
Dawn confronts Billy about some money she has found.
Billy brushes it off as savings for a surprise, and Dawn is in a forgiving mood.
But when Dawn heads upstairs, a shifty Billy calls someone to ask for more work!
What is Billy up to? Surely he can't be involved in the plot against father-in-law Will - or can he?
3. Lydia Dingle clashes with Jimmy King over abusive Tom King
Jimmy and Lydia bicker about the accusations against Tom, with Lydia firmly on victim Belle King's (Eden Taylor-Draper) side while Jimmy refuses to believe that his nephew was abusing Belle.
Also concerned are Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) and daughter Amy Barton (Natalie Ann Jamieson).
Amy tries to get through to Tom's new girlfriend Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell). Will those in denial finally see Tom's true colours?
