Soap fans take to social media to criticize Kim Tate's public phone call blunder
Emmerdale viewers were left fuming after last night's episode when Kim Tate made a "stupid" blunder during a phone call outside The Woolpack pub. Caleb Miligan, played by Waterloo Road alum Will Ash, overheard the conversation, further fueling his suspicion of Kim.
Kim Tate's tense encounters with Caleb raise suspicions
During the episode, Kim, portrayed by Claire King, had several tense encounters with Caleb, including a scene where he sees her riding her horse and questions if it was the same horse that killed Craig Reed. Viewers may recall that Kim was revealed to be the real culprit behind Craig's death, as her horse kicked him in the face and she left him to die instead of calling for help.
Kim's frustrations and warnings from her husband
In a later scene at the pub, Kim vents to her husband Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) about her interactions with Caleb. Despite her defiance, Will warns her to stay away from Caleb and assures her that if he had any incriminating evidence, he would have used it by now.
A public phone call leads to eavesdropping
However, Kim's agitation leads her to make a phone call to Cain Dingle outside the toilets in The Woolpack, insisting they keep Craig's death a secret. Unbeknownst to her, Caleb emerges from the toilets and it becomes clear that he overheard the entire conversation.
Fans question Kim's decision to make the call in public
Following the scene, Emmerdale fans took to social media to express their frustration with Kim's choice to make such an incriminating phone call in a public place. Many viewers wondered why Kim, who is usually portrayed as more cunning, would make such a blunder.
"Why does everyone have incriminating conversations in the bloody Woolpack??!!!" one viewer asked, while another commented on the recurring plot device of eavesdropping near the pub toilets.
Despite the criticism, Emmerdale continues to captivate audiences with its dramatic storylines. The show airs on ITV on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7pm.
