The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Emmerdale dated September 1. It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX and YouTube.
DS Thea Ramsden’s (Chelsea Edge) connection to the Tates has been revealed in Emmerdale.
The character was introduced to us shortly after Dr Caitlin Todd’s (Caroline Harker) death. As she got to work investigating the surgeon’s demise, it was soon revealed that Thea had alternative reasons for being in the village.
Viewers learnt that Thea had been asking friend and former copper Serena Sugden (Casey Al-Shaqsy) to break into Home Farm to find some information she could use against Kim Tate (Claire King).
Thea described Kim as the ‘devil’ who she needed to ‘cut off at the knees’.
Pretty harsh – but it seems she has every reason to feel hatred towards this iconic face.
In today’s episode, Thea took Kim to the police station to question her about Jimmy King’s (Nick Miles) crash. Ramsden knew Jimmy had swerved to avoid another vehicle and wanted to frame Kim as its driver.
The only evidence Thea had that Kim could’ve potentially been near the scene was a speed camera picking up her movements in Hotten. That, apparently, was enough for her, so she got to work interrogating Kim.
And she loved every single second of it.
While this was going on, we headed back in time. In a hospital, two nurses were looking after an abandoned baby.
These scenes played alongside Thea questioning Kim, who was getting increasingly irritated over this copper trying to accuse her of something without any real evidence.
Back in the hospital, we discovered Thea’s connection to Kim, and it definitely explains why the detective speaks about her in such a brutal way.
It is most certainly a twist that changes everything, but we’ve decided to hold back the specific details for now.
They are pretty big spoilers after all!
