Fans of Emmerdale are buzzing with theories about the identity of the cloaked figure seen in a recent episode, particularly after last month’s harrowing limo accident.
Viewers said goodbye to Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough), Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) and Amy Barton (Natalie Ann Jamieson) after they lost their lives in the tragedy.
Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh), having narrowly escaped the wreck herself, left an emotional voicemail for her estranged spouse Nate Robinson (Jurrell Carter), caught up in her feelings as she recounted the grim events to him.
Intriguingly, the scene switched to the chilling lake crime site where a mysterious hooded person was observed watching the police work.

Flash back to when Amy stumbled upon a dead body while struggling in the icy waters, suggesting it might be Nate, whose fate remains uncertain even as she passed away trying to alert the others.
In the latest twist during Monday’s (March 3) episode, Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) was seen donning a sinister black hoodie, igniting speculation among fans on a dedicated Emmerdale Facebook group that she perhaps played a role in the perplexing circumstances surrounding Nate’s death.
One observant fan posted: “Did anybody else notice Moira had a black hoody on in today’s episode at the end? Wonder if she had anything to do with Nate’s body?”
Another viewer commented: “I noticed, hood up too, I thought they’re dressing them all in hoody’s [sic.] lately!”
A third person speculated: “I have started to think it may be someone other than John! Everyone seems to think it is him who is responsible for Nate and Anthony’s demise! Maybe Moira or even Ruby to get revenge on Tracey for her fling with Caleb.”
Nate’s exit followed a turbulent time involving disagreements with his father Cain Dingle (played by Jeff Hordley) and troubles with his partner Tracy, which led him to seek a new beginning in Shetland, reports Leeds Live.
Yet, since his departure, Tracy has found it difficult to contact him; she only receives text responses, and calls are diverted to voicemail, fuelling suspicion among viewers.
The plot thickens with the soap teasing that the unidentified body retrieved from a lake might belong to Nate, as current hints seem to connect back to this character.
