In a dramatic twist on Emmerdale, Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) has been arrested for the attempted murder of Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), who was found critically injured after a fall from a Home Farm window. Joe is currently in a coma due to a brain bleed, and the police have launched an attempted murder investigation.
Billy’s arrest follows revelations of Joe’s affair with Billy’s wife, Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley), and threats Joe made toward their adoptive daughter, Clemmie Reed. While Billy had clear motives, other suspects include Kerry Wyatt, Charity Dingle, Caleb and Ruby Milligan, and even Manpreet Sharma, who had her own dealings with Joe.
As the village reels from the incident, questions remain about who is truly responsible for Joe’s fall. With multiple suspects and motives, the investigation is far from over.
