Joe Tate’s fate has taken a dramatic turn in Emmerdale, as revealed in the early ITVX release of the latest episode. During Lydia Dingle’s 50th birthday party at Home Farm, Joe was publicly confronted over his role in causing the deaths of Suzy Merton, Leyla Harding, and Amy Wyatt.

The list of suspects is extensive, including Noah Dingle, Kerry Wyatt, Cain Dingle, Ruby Miligan, Caleb Miligan, Charity Dingle, Billy Fletcher, Dawn Fletcher, and Clemmie Reed. Each has a compelling motive:

• Noah and Charity Dingle: Angry over Joe’s attempt to drug Noah to steal his kidney, which indirectly led to the fatal limo crash.Kerry Wyatt: Grieving the loss of her daughter Amy in the crash and blaming Joe for her death

• Billy Fletcher and Dawn Fletcher: Billy is furious over Joe’s affair with his wife, Dawn, and the emotional turmoil caused to their adopted daughter, Clemmie Reed

The episode ends with Joe’s fate hanging in the balance, and the identity of his attacker remains a mystery. As the village reels from the incident, viewers are left to speculate who among the suspects took matters into their own hands. The storyline continues to unfold on ITV1 and is available for streaming on ITVX .
