Fans of Emmerdale have predicted that Joe Tate will be attacked and killed by those he’s wronged in the village. Since his return to the soap last year, he’s wasted little time in making enemies, breaking up one marriage and stealing another man’s kidney.
Not content with his sordid affair with Dawn, Joe plotted his way through an altogether more violent conspiracy – targeting his own family as he sourced a much-needed kidney transplant for himself.
A history of those Joe Tate has wronged in Emmerdale
After spiking half-brother Noah, he ultimately found the organ he was looking for. Hiring a thug, he took it from uncle Caleb in the aftermath of a violent attack. Needless to say, Caleb wasn’t happy when he learned where his kidney had really gone.
Meanwhile, with Billy having lost his wife in the aftermath of Dawn and Joe’s affair, and three women dead following the limo crash (a side-effect of Noah’s spiking), Joe’s been racking up the enemies. But how might they react when they find out everything he’s been up to?
Joe to be killed in ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ style attack, Emmerdale fans predict
Writing on social media this week, fans shared their theories on how Joe’s comeuppance might play out. But could he fall victim to mob justice?
Writing on Reddit, one viewer suggested: “I’d actually prefer mob style vigilantism rather than a whodunit. With half the village in on it and the other half protecting them all.”
“You mean like a “Murder On The Orient Express” situation that would be an interesting predicament to see a whole village be caught up in,” another agreed.
“if Joe gets killed it won’t be a case of who did it but who didn’t. a bit like the orient express,” a third suggested, over on X.
Well, who hasn’t Joe made an enemy of at this point?
