It’s already been a few months since Nate Robinson’s Emmerdale exit. But even so,
some can’t help but feel his ending was different to what we think.
Nate had an off-screen Emmerdale exit, which was considered very strange to
viewers, since he was a huge part of the show since 2019. What was even stranger though, was that it was during a very eventful week in Emmerdale. So it could have been very easy to get him involved in the drama.
At the time, it was said that Nate left his life in the village behind for a new job in Shetland. But fans never actually saw him leave.
During the big week, Moira set fire to the barn with her and Ruby in it. Cain, Mack and Caleb all rushed in to help the women, but was Nate inside?
It was a popular theory at the time, and three months later fans are still convinced he is dead.
Could Nate be dead?
Speaking on a Reddit thread fans pointed out that Nate’s death is still a very likely future plot.
One wrote: “I know the show says Nate went off just fine, but I think he might be dead and it will be a twist reveal.”
As for their evidence to back their claim up, there was actually quite a bit.
They continued: “Tracy said something about Nate not responding to her. And Cain said that he had messaged him about Zak’s funeral but no reply.
“While that’s only two things, in soaps that means foreshadowing something bad that has happened. Also Natalie J Robb said there would be a death in the fire, and there never was.
“Whether he was deliberately killed or perished due to the fire, I don’t know. But I doubt he is still alive.”
Many fans agree with the theory
Despite being an extreme theory, it seems it is one that many others share.
A fan agreed: “I keep wondering about this too. I think he died from the fire. But then why hasn’t his body been found? Either way, I don’t think he is alive.”
However one fan pointed out a plot hole in the death theory. Tracy had once contacted him, but only by text.
They penned: “I thought Tracy said he messaged her when he got to Shetland and asked for her to never contact him again?”
While this would be a sign he is alive, other fans seem to think it’s even more proof that he is not.
“Yeah she did. However he has a little girl he doted on. You would think he would at least send something for Christmas. Or make contact for her,” one responded.
Another viewer agreed: “Maybe that means he was killed and someone has text from his phone. Him not wanting to be contacted ever again seems very out of character.”
Nate’s final few days before Emmerdale exit
While Nate not wanting to be contacted is strange, he didn’t have the best final days in the village.
His dad, Cain, and love interest Tracy both wrongly believed he had kissed his step-mother Moira, sparking fears they had restarted their affair. But in reality, she was having a seizure.
After a fight with Cain, Tracy told Nate that she and Frankie would no longer be joining him in Shetland.
And so, Nate left the village alone – and offscreen.
Actor Jurell Carter has just landed a new role as he heads out on tour next year in James Graham’s play Boys from the Blackstuff.
So with no sign of a return, could Nate’s death be a future shocking Emmerdale reveal?
