Emmerdale spoilers reveal a village resident learns of Lydia Dingle's harrowing rape ordeal next week in emotional scenes.

Lydia confides in friend Kim Tate in upcoming scenes, as Kim finally finds out what has been troubling her. Amid speculation Kim could be part of Craig's downfall, Kim urges Lydia to open up to husband Sam Dingle as other villagers continue to speculate an affair is ongoing between Lydia and her ex.

She and Craig had bumped into each other weeks ago for the first time in years, last seeing each other as young teens in the children's home they lived in. The friends slept together and Lydia fell pregnant, before giving birth in secret. Sadly their baby son was stillborn, but Lydia fled before telling Craig about the baby - with her telling him everything in a recent episode.

As the pair got to know each other again there was a near kiss, but Lydia told Craig she didn't want anything to happen between them. Vile Craig made a pass at her though before raping her, despite her clearly telling him she did not want to have sex with him. Lydia finally told Craig what he was, a rapist, in a recent episode but he has turned on her.

Constantly harassing her and denying it was rape, Craig has made Lydia's life a misery and will soon try to turn her stepson Samson Dingle against her. Lydia is in turmoil but can't face telling anyone what has happened to her, even though Mandy and others are wondering if she and Craig are having a fling.

Next week, spoilers reveal things get worse before Kim finally finds out. After she's accused by Mandy of having an affair, a panicked Lydia storms off before breaking down in tears. Kim is alarmed by the state she finds her in and Lydia tells her the truth. Lydia’s heartbroken when Kim eventually tells her she’ll need to tell Sam about the rape, but will she find the strength to expose Craig to the village and the police?

It comes as fans wondered if Kim would be involved in Craig's downfall. Taking to social media, one theory was that Kim would destroy Craig and ruin his business, exposing what he had done. Another theory saw fans predicting Lydia could end up killing her rapist, if Kim didn't get there first. One fan posted: "Wait until Kim finds out what Craig did to Lydia and she’s goes after him." Another said: "She's just the person to destroy his business and bring him down," as a third tweeted: "I hope Kim makes him pay! He's vile."

On the latter theory, a fan wrote: "I’m starting to think that the Lydia story is starting to build up to Lydia killing him." Another said: "That's possible. He's becoming very obsessive over her. And I think Kim will cover for her."

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.* Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on , , , , and .
