Emmerdale's Will Taylor sets out to save Kim who has been kidnapped in Thursday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings)! But who's pulling the strings?

Having been given the money by Caleb, Will Taylor has everything his blackmailer requires. Or so he thinks.

Poised to hand over the cash and be done with the whole messy stressy business, Will does the decent thing and tells his business partner Jimmy he's sold his shares to Caleb.

Jimmy's furious but Will's laser focused on the job in hand. He hasn't got time to listen to Jimmy and instead heads home where Kim is preparing lunch.

But when Will turns up at Home Farm there's no sign of his wife and the food is all burned.

As his mind starts whirring, worried about what might have become of Kim seeing as he's an enemy on his case, Will's put out of his misery when he receives a call from his blackmailer to say they've kidnapped his wife!

Panicking, Will obeys as he's given instructions to come to a remote woodland with the cash.

As he starts running into the trees, to his horror, Will spots Kim lying on the woodland floor.

More instructions eerily follow, taking shaky Will deeper into the forest…

Will he find Kim? Is she alive? And just who is this devious blackmailer?
