Is the hand in the water Nate? All the ‘clues’ Amy just found Tracy’s ex

In Emmerdale tonight (Monday, February 17), Amy fell through the ice. She then saw someone’s hand in the water – could it be Nate Robinson’s?

Amy’s life flashed before her eyes tonight and if her falling through a frozen lake and fighting for her life wasn’t enough to scare her – seeing the hand of someone in the water would’ve been.

But, we’ve now spotted some worrying ‘clues’ that this hand could belong to former villager, Nate Robinson.

Amy spotted hand in frozen lake

Tonight, the girls fought to save their lives as their limo started to sink into a frozen lake.

Sadly, in the aftermath of the crash, Suzy lost her life and could not be saved. The rest of the girls (and Liam) then tried one by one to steadily cross the ice.

Liam tested the waters (well, ice) after Charity made it, with Chas almost falling through but crawling to her safety.

Vanessa and Tracy also made it across, with Amy then choosing to go next. However, the ice gave in and broke under her feet.

She then fell through the ice and started to sink in the water, attempting to push her way out of the ice above.

But, in a huge (and extremely jaw-dropping) twist, Amy was not alone under that water, oh no… She was actually in the company of someone else, screaming a muffled sound as her eyes gazed at a hand in the water.

And, it was wearing a friendship bracelet…

Well, well, well, we’ve got a worrying theory that Nate Robinson could be the owner of the hand in the water.

Remember when Nate left the Dales for Shetland in September last year? It was all a bit suss, with many fans believing him to be dead. But, after many months went by, he kind of got… well, forgotten about.

Nate was last seen by John Sugden before leaving for a new job in Shetland without saying a proper goodbye to his family. Which brings us to our first clue… we now know that John is rather good at covering up a death or murder… He didn’t even blink an eye when helping Aaron clean up Anthony’s death at the Depot… It almost seemed like he’d done it before.

Could John, the last to have seen Nate, have finished him off?

Then there are those rather confusing text messages left by Nate after he left, specifically: ‘Settling in, head’s a mess, don’t call me, I’ll call you when I’m ready.’ He didn’t really want to stay in touch with Tracy, the rest of his family, or even his own daughter Frankie. Someone he literally went for full custody of, now cutting her out of his life just like that… Suss, suss, suss.

But, the most obvious clue of all is that Nate was wearing a friendship bracelet on the day he left the village. And we all know his daughter Frankie loves to make friendship bracelets, with the soap putting a really obvious emphasis on these bracelets in recent weeks.

And it actually makes sense now that the hand under the water was wearing a bracelet that looked exactly like Nate’s. But, is he dead under that water? Did he never actually make it to Shetland? If so, who finished him off? John?
