Will Taylor’s (Dean Andrews) mystery tormentor steps up their campaign against him in Emmerdale next week, as he becomes the victim of a deep-fake porn image.

The character is currently being harassed by someone who knows he kissed ex-wife Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco) prior to her leaving the village in mysterious circumstances.

Will has been worried that the secret would destroy his marriage to Kim Tate (Claire King), who vowed revenge if she was to ever find out he’d been unfaithful.

While it had remained unclear as to whether Kim or Will had killed Rose after throwing her out of Home Farm last month, it was recently confirmed she was alive and well.

In scenes set to air next week, Will is adamant that Rose is behind the campaign against him, and calls the mystery number that’s been harassing him.

However, he later sees a video of Rose in Ibiza, and realises that the phone didn’t ring with an international dial tone.

The mystery tormentor then steps up their efforts, and Will is shocked when Jimmy King (Nick Miles) shows him an email on the work account that show porn images with Will and Rose’s faces on.

Unwilling to go to the police in fear that it could lead to Kim uncovering the truth,  Will then receives a further deep fake video along with a chilling demand.

Showing Jimmy his phone, Will reveals his tormentor has demanded ten grand to keep his secret…

Just who is the blackmailer, and will Will cough up to keep them quiet?
