Another huge Nate discovery is made in Emmerdale that turns everything on its head

Nate Robinson’s (Jurell Carter) body has finally been found after months at the bottom of an Emmerdale lake, but his killer is no closer to being found.

We all know that John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) killed Nate, but he’s managed to keep his guilt buried for now.

With the police scrabbling around for a suspect, both Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh) are in the frame.

Between Cain beating up Nate on the day he ‘disappeared’ and Tracy’s shady behaviour recently, both parties are left looking guilty… while John attempts to manipulate the situation from the sidelines.

As Cain and Tracy continue to point fingers at each other, another shocking discovery emerges, once again turning the investigation upside down.

But what does this fresh news mean for Cain and Tracy?

As the investigation continues, the police question John over the day Nate disappeared.

When the interview finishes, John hopes that he’s done enough to protect Cain.

Meanwhile, spotting Tracy in the village, an angry Sam Dingle (James Hooten) berates her for accusing Cain of murdering his son.

Rattled by the accusations, Cain suggests that it might have been Tracy who was actually responsible for Nate’s death.

Aghast, Tracy hits back and, as John tries to comfort Cain, he reassures him that the police will clear his name soon.

The next day, the police arrive at Tug Ghyll with a search warrant. Tracy is shocked when the police find Nate’s phone in Frankie’s playhouse.

Questioned at the station, she’s left shocked when the police tell her that there’s no record of the removal man who supposedly took Nate’s belongings to Shetland.

Will Tracy be left holding the bag for Nate’s murder?

Speaking on Tracy’s suspicions of Cain, actress Amy Walsh said: ‘She knows what Cain’s capable of. She’s seen him see red.’

She continued: ‘She knows he’s not gone off to murder Nate but she fully believes that a fight would have gone too far. He’d have chased him down and he’d have done whatever he could to just get rid of him and get that threat away from his marriage.’

Of the moment she’s accused of Nate’s murder; Amy continued: ‘Until she’s told otherwise she’s only really interested in proving herself innocent, because that’s massive.

‘The fact that it’s then turned on to her is massive. It’s like already going through the worst part of your life and having that dropped on you as well.’

And the evidence isn’t on Tracy’s side either – especially given that she’s been using his credit card recently, while he was six feet under(water).

‘Just little bits like Tracy using Nate’s credit card and stuff like that, because that plants her further in the frame of having a motive to get rid of him,’ Amy said.

As next week’s story continues, Tracy tells the police that she was with Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) on the day Nate supposedly died.

Vanessa is shocked when Tracy asks her to corroborate her false alibi – and is thrown off-kilter when DS Walsh asks her to corroborate Tracy’s whereabouts with an official statement.

Will Vanessa agree to lie for Tracy?
