Emmerdale's Kim apologises over stolen watch mystery

Kim Tate has apologised to the Dingles over the stolen watch mystery in Emmerdale.

The mystery over Will's beloved watch has played out over the last several episodes, with Sam Dingle initially facing blame and losing his job over the missing valuable. Lydia quit in solidarity with her husband.

However, nanny Nicky later returned the watch to Will, claiming that Gabby's baby son Thomas had been playing with it. Some fans have suspected that Nicky had actually tried stealing the watch before it caused so much trouble.

Tuesday's episode (January 31) saw Kim Tate having to swallow her pride by apologising to the Dingles. When she offered the couple their jobs back, Lydia accepted with the proviso they'd only have a professional relationship from now on.

"If you think things are going back to the way they were, you're mistaken," Lydia warned her. "From now on, you're my boss. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Next time you need someone to organise a hen do, or stick up for you when everyone else is slagging you off, you can find some other mug!"

Will wasn't pleased when he found out that Kim had rehired the Dingles without speaking to him, leaving him feeling like he hadn't been properly supported in standing up for her.

Kim had no time to argue with Will about the situation, as Caleb arrived with all of the paperwork ready to sign off on their new stud farm.

Will was determined to prove to his wife that Caleb is nothing but a "shyster", then balked at Caleb accompanying them on a trip to Dublin to advise on business dealings.
