Emmerdale fans were on edge this Christmas Day as Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) was discovered unconscious following a heated row with Kim Tate (Claire King).
His secret plot to betray his wife came to light, despite his decision to abandon the scheme days earlier.
However, moments after renewing their vows, Kim declared their marriage was over, leading to Will’s shocking collapse.
Kim remained unconvinced as she watched in disbelief while Will, clutching his chest, suddenly fall to the floor.
Attempting to win her forgiveness, he tried to explain himself but staggered forward, leaving chaos in his wake as furniture and decorations were sent flying.
Earlier in the episode, a flashforward hinted at turmoil at Home Farm, with the Christmas tree lying on the ground.

'RIP Will.'
Will’s shock collapse and secret reveal weren’t hinted at in the spoilers, leaving fans totally in the dark about what’s next.
While there might be a few clues about whether he survives, viewers will have to wait until the Boxing Day episode to find out what’s really going on.
One thing’s for sure, this isn’t the first time Kim’s faced a moment like this as a few years ago, in the very same room, her husband Frank Tate had a fatal heart attack.
Viewers watched as she coldly walked away, leaving him to die all alone.
But things have changed, and Kim clearly has strong feelings for Will, but whether she’ll forgive him is still up in the air.
There’s also the big question: how will Will’s daughter, Dawn, react when she finds out about his secret plan involving Kim?
Actor Dean recently spoke to The Mirror and other media outlets about the dramatic episode, but didn’t drop any hints about leaving the show or suggest that his character might be heading for a bad ending.
The development in the storyline comes when Joe Tate exposed Will's plot to ruin Kim, revealing that he had teamed up with Peter and Joe for revenge.
According to Joe, Will initially approached Kim's son, Jamie Tate, with the plan while Kim and Jamie were at odds.
However, when Jamie turned him down, Will reluctantly accepted an offer, unaware that Joe was also involved.
Joe now insists that he was protecting Kim by setting Will up, but viewers are left questioning his true motives.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays
