Someone could be out to get Kim Tate on Emmerdale after a telling scene with Graham Foster.
Now, fans think they know who his mystery caller is who is possibly in cahoots with him. In a recent episode, Kim Tate was rushed to hospital after choking and collapsing.
She was feared to have been poisoned, before doctors claims she had overdosed on her pain medication. With Kim questioning if she had mistakenly taken too much, fans know that Graham deliberately upped her dose in secret.
It seems he was plotting to kill her, with someone giving him a double dose version of Kim’s tablets which he swapped out for her usual tub. He swapped them back before telling someone on the phone his plan to get rid of “the pain in his neck” was unsuccessful.
So is the person on the phone in on the plan, and are they helping Graham to target and maybe kill Kim? Here’s the likely candidates according to viewers of the ITV soap…

Emmerdale viewers think a dark secret ties newcomer Dr Todd with Graham(Image: ITV)
Dr Todd
A new theory is that Todd is “dodgy” and is helping Graham. With her being a doctor, she could well have access to the pills Graham was given to try to harm Kim.
But what possible reason would Todd have for wanting Kim dead? Fans think she could be hiding something or maybe she and Graham are secretly close, and she’s helping him.
One fan suggested: “Bet ya it’s the bloody Dr that’s harassing Jacob.” Another said: “Probably talking to that doctor that is bullying Jacob, she’s definitely dodgy.”
A third fan commented: “I got the impression he was just on the phone to a Doctor,” as a fan then said: “Dr Todd I read somewhere.” Another comment read: “The female Dr.”
Caleb Miligan

A lot of fans think it’s Caleb given his past feud with Kim, and the history involving his father Frank Tate, Kim’s late husband. Caleb was accused by the Dingles too after he gave her red wine at the lunch, which no one else drank but Kim.
Caleb had met Graham before his arrival to the village a few years back. It’s Graham that told him about his father Frank’s death and Kim’s link, leading to his plan of revenge against Kim.
This was all forgotten about while he clearly still despises her. So Have Caleb and Graham united once more to end Kim for once and for all?
Lydia or Sam Dingle

This would be quite the shock if it was husband and wife Lydia and Sam, or even just one of them. The duo work for Kim and are considered friends of her.
But could it be a double bluff scenario? After all, fans and characters wondered if the incident with Kim was to frame Lydia for trying to get rid of Kim, after it was revealed Lydia will be given Home Farm if Kim was to die.
So what if Lydia is feigning upset, or even Sam, and actually they want their hands on Kim’s empire? It would certainly be a twist.
Jamie Tate
A strong contender according to fans is Jamie Tate(Image: ITV)
A strong contender according to fans is Jamie Tate, Kim’s son. He didn’t really get along with Graham, but might the pair put their differences aside to take Kim down?
Jamie despises his mother, to the point he faked his death to get away from her. He made a brief return a while back before deciding not to head back to the village.
Joe Tate had said he was in touch with Jamie before his own village return in 2024. With Jamie wanting to stay away, could he finally be back to take revenge?
Dr Crowley

A surprise theory is that the surgeon who targeted Kim before is back for revenge. She exposed his plan against her last time and got her revenge – but has he got in touch with Graham to destroy Kim?
Dr Crowley was the man Joe worked with to target villagers, in his bid to find a kidney match as he needed a kidney transplant. Crowley helped Joe to locate a match before he performed the surgery, stealing Caleb’s kidney and transplanting it into Joe’s body.
Crowley later turned on Joe, and tricked Kim into a romance to target her too. But his blackmail attempts, and his hopes to get Kim’s fortune, were thwarted when Kim and Joe teamed up to take him down.
Fans now think he might be back for revenge. One fan said: “I reckon Dr Crowley.” Another said: “It’s the doctor that did the kidney opp!! 100%,” as a third added: “Think it’s the doctor who operated on Joe when they took Caleb’s kidney.”
