However, things took a deadly turn in the recent episode following a violent altercation. Will was pushed backwards by Ross after his true identity was revealed, causing him to fall and hit his head on a rock, leaving him motionless on the ground.
The sight of the blood-soaked rock and Will's lifeless body left Ross in shock. The episode concluded with fans certain that Will had met his end, reports the Mirror.
Now, it's hinted that Will is indeed exiting the ITV soap and that he's deceased. But could there be more than meets the eye, given this is a soap opera?
In scenes set to air on Monday night, a distressed Ross stumbles into Home Farm where Kim is present.
She confronts him about why he didn't contact her after completing the task. That's when he confesses that things went awry, before revealing Will's supposed demise.
He tells her: "I'd rather have done time for the car than live with this. It all went wrong. I didn't mean to but I killed him. Will's dead."
The footage ends with Kim devastated by the events. The big question on every fan's mind: Is Will really gone for good, and what's in store for Kim and Ross?
Emmerdale aficionados are convinced that Will's a goner, but they're on tenterhooks for next week's episodes to confirm any further plot twists.
Fans took to social media to voice their suspicions about Will's demise; one viewer speculated on Twitter: "When Emmerdale kills off someone on a random Friday." They went on to muse: "Will also be interesting to see how the 'killer' acts in the aftermath."
Distraught, another begged: "Please stop our main characters leaving." Meanwhile, another eagerly posted: "We will just have to wait and see if it's announced that *** ****** has left. With Emmerdale these days, anything could happen!"
