Killer Kim Tate to confess all as Lydia Dingle struggles over Craig’s death in Emmerdale
CRAIG Reed's mysterious death has weighed heavy on the minds of many villagers of the Dales.
But in scenes airing next week, Emmerdale legend Kim Tate could decide it's time for her to come clean to Lydia Dingle.
In the wake of Craig's death, the cleaner portrayed by Karen Blick played detective as she gathered the Dingles round at The Woolpack to demand they present their alibis.
While many secrets were discovered, including Eric Pollard's battle against Parkinson's disease, the truth about Craig's murder remained under wraps.
As ITV viewers will undoubtedly remember, Craig was approached by brothers Cain and Sam Dingle (respectively played by Jeff Hordley and James Hooton) who gave him a brutal beating to avenge Lydia's rape.
Craig was eventually released and wandered away from the barn he had been kept hostage in but his path led him straight to the Home Farm estate.

Sam managed to beat Craig one last time before he was found dead on a field of the estate.
This initially led authorities to Sam and the latter was wrongfully arrested as he was suspected of murder but he was soon cleared of all suspicions.
Unfortunately, Craig's death has been another secret for the eponymous village to keep ever since... but Kim Tate (Claire King) could be about to blab.
Coming up next week, Lydia is anguished by her many unanswered questions over Craig's suspicious death.

Will this push Kim, her employer and support figure, to finally tell her truth?
As a witness to Craig's murder, Kim is well aware of who the real culprit is - her horse, Ice.
Indeed, after being beaten again by Sam, Craig tried to seek help on the Home Farm estate, where he bumped into Kim who was riding the stallion at the time.
Craig tried to drag her off the animal, in a last-ditch attempt at getting emergency help - and Ice responded by striking him on the head with both hooves.

The vile rapist was then left to die on the field he was found on with Kim and Cain both agreeing to keep the circumstances of his passing a secret.
Although she has been in cahoots with Cain, Kim made sure she had an air-tight alibi soon after the events by releasing Ice into the woods.
How long will the secret last?
