Emmerdale fans are sure they know just who mysterious newcomer Rose is – along with her connection to Will and Dawn.
Spoilers for the ITV soap have confirmed that Will is set to receive a mysterious phone call next week, forcing him to hide a secret from his wife Kim. Later he heads to the hospital to meet Rose, played by Christine Tremarco.
Though Will’s exact link to Rose hasn’t yet been revealed, fans have been desperate to work out how she could be related to some dark secrets from his past. Plenty think she could have something to do with Dawn killing DI Malone, the boss of the criminal gang Will worked for before he went to prison.

Malone tried to get Dawn to take a fatal overdose after getting her future husband Billy arrested, later attacking Dawn and Harriet – but three shots from Dawn stopped him in his tracks, forcing Dawn and her dad to bury the body in the woods nearby.
Some fans have now suggested newcomer Rose could be Malone’s widow, and took to X to share their theories. One said: “I think Rose is DI Malone’s sister or wife in Emmerdale.” Someone else agreed: “Malone’s sister, wife or even Dawn’s mother?”
Another suggested Rose might be Dawn’s mum, brought into the soap as her young son Evan has been confirmed for a gruelling leukaemia storyline. The user said: “With Dawn’s son Evan being diagnosed with leukaemia later in spring, I think this is a good time for her mum to be around for support.
“Although nothing has been mentioned about her. Maybe this was another secret Will was keeping from Kim. Good casting! Look forward to Kim vs. Rose!”
Soap spoilers have confirmed that Will’s distraction isn’t the only thing going on at Home Farm, as Billy finds himself faced with another potential suitor. It turns out Manpreet Sharma has her eye on the young PT, as her relationship with vicar Charles Anderson breaks down.
Next week, the pair unite for a steamy training session where Manpreet flirts with Billy. Will, meanwhile, heads to meet up with Rose, but keeps quiet about where he’s been with Kim. Manpreet, meanwhile, is left feeling dejected as Charles shows a complete lack of interest in her. Buoyed by Billy’s advice, she reckons a dinner date could be the answer to all their romance problems.
