Emmerdale fans are buzzing with the speculation that Home Farm might soon welcome a new proprietor, leaving Kim Tate absolutely livid.

The iconic Home Farm has been a cornerstone of the show for years, playing host to a slew of Dales icons including Kim (Claire King), Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), and Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher).

Nestled just half a mile from the village, this grand property features eleven bedrooms, a separate granny flat, and even comes with its own business, the Home Farm Estate.

At present, the legendary Kim Tate is the mistress of the manor, having inherited it after her ex-husband Frank Tate (Norman Bowler) originally took over in 1989. Following Frank’s demise in 1997, he bequeathed Home Farm to Kim.

Emmerdale Billy’s new romance ‘revealed’ after Dawn – and it’s with legend returning to soap
But now, fans are abuzz with the notion that a fresh face could soon claim the keys to the estate, reports Leicestershire Live.

Lately, life at Home Farm has been anything but calm for Kim. The festive season brought tragedy when her husband Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) passed away from a heart attack. Then, out of the blue, her step-grandson Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) made an unexpected return after six years away.

Joe’s reappearance has stirred up a storm of trouble among the villagers. Not only has he embarked on an affair with Kim’s stepdaughter Dawn (Olivia Bromley), but he also managed to pilfer a kidney from his uncle Caleb (William Ash).

Amidst whispers that Joe might be using Dawn as part of a scheme to seize control of the Home Farm empire, fans are betting that another character will swoop in to become the new lord or lady of the manor – and it’s tipped to be a familiar face from the past.

A fan theory surfaced on an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, where one viewer speculated: “It won’t be Joe taking Home Farm from Kim, it will be Jamie mark my words.”

One individual suggested: “They could easily be setting up his return so I agree.” Another person added their voice to the speculation, saying: “I’ve said this for months, they need to bring him back”.

During his stint on Emmerdale, Jamie (played by Alex Lincoln), son of Kim and Frank, found himself at the heart of intense narratives. His journey through explosive feuds and passionate affairs meant there was never a dull moment during his time in the Dales.

Jamie’s last appearance was in 2021, when he shocked viewers by faking his death in a dramatic car crash scene. While his mother Kim mourned him, believing him dead, Jamie had actually retreated to a life of secrecy with daughter Millie and her grandmother.

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
