Did Joe actually kill Will? Fan theory predicts he did as he successfully ‘isolates’ Kim

He has only been back for two weeks but Joe Tate is already causing chaos for Emmerdale fans.

On Christmas Eve it was revealed that Joe was the mastermind behind Kim Tate’s takedown, before he made his highly anticipated return to Home Farm on Christmas Day.

But the timing of it wasn’t great, as not long after Joe arrived, Will took a massive heart attack and died. While Kim stood watching without calling for help.

Joe Tate Emmerdale return

Dawn was quick to accuse Joe of murdering her dad, but when the autopsy results confirmed it was natural causes, she quickly changed her mind.

However, her attention turned to Kim after she found a video from Will informing her that Kim would try to kill him.

So now that the attention is fully away from Joe, fans can’t help but wonder if his timing wasn’t as coincidental as it initially seemed.

Joe has proved time and time again that he truly is capable of anything. And since there seems to be an unknown ulterior motive behind his return, could Will’s death have been a part of that?

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) many fans shared the view that Joe Tate in Emmerdale had more to do with Will’s death than we know.

After Kim’s arrest in last night’s episode (January 7) one fan wrote: “Kim is INNOCENT. Joe… maybe not.”

Another noticed that Joe seemed to be solely focussing on ensuring Kim was on his side. They penned: “Joe is very successfully isolating Kim.”

If Joe manages to make Kim believe he is the only one she can trust, perhaps he is making sure his murderous secret is kept quiet.

Did Joe kill Will?

Others pointed out that Joe is a very well connected man. So it would have been very easy for him to get the coroner to lie. Or it could have been an entirely false phone call.

A fan commented: “Is it not possible for Joe to have paid off the coroner?” Another responded directly to this. They wrote: “I don’t believe there was even a coroner to pay off.”

On the chance that Joe was actually responsible for Will’s death, what would be the reason? And would he have had the opportunity? Well, Will was the only person who could prove to Kim that Joe was not trying to help her…

And after spending so much time as the head of Home Farm, Joe knows how to get in and out without being caught. So maybe he arrived earlier and spiked Will’s drink?

Despite the numerous theories that Will is still alive, we think it’s pretty obvious that isn’t the case.

But whether or not Joe did have anything to do with Will’s death, he is still hiding a secret. And it seems to be related to his health. So we can’t wait to see exactly what Joe has planned for 2025.

Laurel gets no sympathy from viewers as they remember her ‘homewrecking’ ways

This week in Emmerdale, Laurel was confronted by Mary for her actions with Marlon. And it seems fans aren’t able to have much sympathy for her.

Fans were left confused when it was revealed Marlon and Laurel had a secret. And while it was hinting at an affair, it turned out to be something completely different.

Emmerdale: Laurel and Marlon secret

Laurel had relapsed and was afraid she would lose her family’s trust if she found out she had been drinking again. And so she relied on Marlon to get her through it.

But despite it being purely platonic on his side, the lines were blurred for Laurel and she made a move on him.

Marlon didn’t reciprocate and even agreed to keep it between the two of them. But we all know nothing stays a secret in soaps, and it wasn’t long before Rhona found out.

Things are already tense between the couple as they continue their search for April, but it seems to be getting worse and worse.

Rhona confided in Mary about everything that happened. And despite her asking to keep quiet, Mary couldn’t help but confront Laurel.

This caused a whole bunch of issues as Laurel abruptly left the pub and Marlon blamed Rhona.

But despite the harsh words from Mary, fans struggle to have sympathy for Laurel, as they remember her ‘home-wrecking’ history.

Fans struggle to sympathise with Laurel

Taking to a Reddit thread, one fan wrote: “I hate how Laurel is revered as some sort of paragon of virtue by pretty much the whole village. When in reality she is a serial cheat, home-wrecker and was extremely verbally abusive to Marlon when they were married. I will never forget the scene where she ran over Marlon’s dog when she was drunk driving and then told him she would just buy him a new one.”

Another agreed: “I can’t stand Laurel. She goes after everyone’s boyfriends and husbands!”

A third commented: “Laurel is the absolute worst. She has a form of being a snivelling cheat so I am delighted Mary called her out.”

However, some other users believe that Rhona is the one who is in the wrong.

One wrote: “For some reason they’re making Rhona almost unbearable to watch. She used to be one of my favourites, but the self righteousness and selfishness since the Ivy story has been ridiculous. She has turned into a miserable [bleep]. If she wan’t moaning over Laurel then it would be something else.”

Tensions are bound to be high between them right now as it hits two weeks since April’s disappearance. But just how bad is it going to get? Will Marlon and Rhona make it through? And where is April?

Dawn ‘has a very short memory’ as she accuses Kim of murder – and fans are fed-up with her ‘hypocritical’ behaviour

In Emmerdale Dawn is the latest character to annoy fans as they call out her ‘hypocritical’ ways after Kim’s arrest.

Ever since Will died on Christmas Day, Dawn has been intent on putting the blame on newly returned Joe Tate.

However, when she got a call to confirm Will died of natural causes, Dawn’s mind suddenly changed and she felt horrible for her treatment of Joe. And some fans are even convinced the pair will embark on an affair.

Emmerdale Dawn blames Kim

But her apologies didn’t last too long. She found a video message from her dad and turned her focus on to Kim.

First, Dawn wanted confirmation from Ross that Kim tried to get him to get rid of Will, but even he told her that it was all in the past by the time Will actually died.

However, Dawn struggled to accept this as the truth. And even Billy told her to let it go for the day.

But she couldn’t do that. Convinced she killed Will, Dawn called Kim out and knocked her into Will’s coffin – during the funeral.

Her and Billy then left and rejoined the group at the burial, but Dawn still wasn’t convinced. So when Kim was arrested and brought into questioning, Dawn evidently felt victorious.

Now, fans are calling out her behaviour as it seems she is forgetting whose house she actually still lives in…

It wasn’t too long ago that Dawn and Billy found themselves with no home, and Kim let them all move back into Home Farm.

Fans call out Dawn’s behaviour

Taking to a Reddit thread one fan wrote: “Can’t wait for Dawn and Co. to be kicked out when she gets shown up. Billy tried to warn her but she just had to do it.”

Another added: “Has Dawn forgotten whose house she and her family actually live in?”

More fans on X (formerly known as Twitter) also shared this view. One commented: “Dawn thinks Kim killed Will, but has no problem living in her house for free.”

Another queried: “Is Dawn still going to take the freebie lifestyle at Kim’s house even though she called the police?”

Dawn’s also a murderer…

There’s also the small matter of Dawn killing DI Malone and Kim taking care of the body for her.

“There’s a huge portion of Dawn and Will’s history that the script writers seem to have forgotten,” said one fan. “They were involved in the murder of a police detective called Malone. Will disposed of the body on Home Farm which was about to be discovered when the land was due to be redeveloped. Kim arranged for the body to be taken care of. Why would Dawn even consider contacting the police knowing what Kim has on her. Makes zero sense.”

Another agreed: “Dawn has a very short memory! Kim can easily shut her down because doesn’t she know where the body is of Malone the copper who Dawn killed.”

“Dawn seems to have selective memory as she has been involved in a murder, a cover up, turning her back on the same man as she announced that it’s always for her dad when asked to rethink her moves at the funeralâ€¦” added one more.

Whether or not Dawn moves out of Home Farm – or indeed remembers her own past – remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure, it doesn’t seem like she is going to give up easily.

5 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: Sarah is embarrassed and Marlon records a video

In Emmerdale spoilers for tonight Sarah feels embarrassed and Marlon records a message for April as the search continues.

Also, Ruby’s bonding time with Steph hits a snag as the past is once again brought up.

Read below for full Emmerdale spoilers for tonight (January 8).

1. Sarah feels excluded

Things seemed to be going well for Jacob and Sarah at the start, but that quickly changed. After Sarah turned up drunk to his first day of his A&E placement the pair shared some harsh words.

It got even worse when Sarah spotted Jacob kissing a girl who had spent the night at his house.

Tonight, he and his medical student friends are all out together, leaving Sarah feeling even more excluded from Jacob. Her embarrassment is heightened whenever they realise she was the drunk girl in A&E.

2. Jacob feels guilty in Emmerdale spoilers

After his medical student friends start to have a go at Sarah for her drunk antics, Jacob starts to feel guilty.

Clearly seeing it’s having an impact on Sarah, he apologises for his recent behaviour.

Sarah forgives him, and it seems the pair could be back on the right path. Will it last? Or will something else come in between them?

A new Emmerdale theory has predicted Sarah could be one of the deaths from the flashforwards…

3. Ruby and Steph’s bonding time is halted

This week Ruby decided to learn the truth about who Steph’s father really is. And so she sent away a DNA test.

Afterwards, she has been wanting to spend as much mother and daughter time with Steph as possible, clearly concerned for what their future holds.

It’s been going well, as the pair headed off on a spa trip, then continued to bond when they got home. But that changes again tonight.

Steph finds another old photo – this time from when Ruby was pregnant with her. Once again, the image brings back the memories, and her current concerns. So when Steph tries to chat about the photo, the tension rises.

4. Laurel and Rhona have a chat

Rhona was angry to learn that Laurel made a move on Marlon after she relapsed on alcohol and he helped her through it. And she was even more annoyed that Marlon kept it a secret from her.

After Marlon asked Rhona to keep it a secret, she confided in her mum, Mary – who may have been more angry about it than anyone.

While everyone was searching for April, Mary took her chance and called Laurel out for her behaviour, which led to even more issues between Marlon and Rhona.

But in Emmerdale spoilers for tonight Laurel and Rhona have a conversation that seems to put their friendship back on the right track.

As the search for April continues, Marlon records a video message. (Credit: ITV)

5. Marlon records a video in Emmerdale spoilers

April hasn’t been seen since going missing on Christmas Day. Despite the villagers not giving up and continuing to look for her everyday, there’s been no luck.

Earlier this week, Marlon’s friends tried to encourage him to do an online appeal directly to April, to gather more widespread support.

While he was initially against the idea, tonight he decides a video is the only way to progress. So he proceeds to film and upload it – but will it help? And where is April?

Sarah is dead in flashforward that saw Cain crying over a grave, new fan theory predicts

A new fan theory suggests Sarah Sugden could be at risk in Emmerdale. As the clock hit midnight on New Year’s Eve in the village, we were treated to a number of flashforwards that will take place this year. And more than one of them hinted at an Emmerdale death.

In one of the scenes, Cain was standing over a fresh grave crying, visibly heartbroken at losing whoever was buried there.

But while we literally have no idea about the who, what, when and how, all we can do is hope that our favourites are safe. As it looks like anybody could be taken away from us.

Sarah has been growing close to Jacob. (Credit: ITV)

Could Sarah die in Emmerdale?

Right now all we have to go on is our own theories. And one of them suggests Sarah SugdenÂ is the Emmerdale death.

Sarah has a heart condition which has taken centre stage in the show on numerous occasions. But when she got a transplant, she faded from the storylines.

Now, she’s back in the show quite frequently, and this alone was enough to get viewers suspicious of the show’s intentions.

Quite spontaneously Sarah also began having feelings for Jacob, and while it’s not been smooth sailing, the pair do evidently like each other.

Then in last night’s episode (January 2), during Jacob’s first day on A&E placement, Charity rushed Sarah into the hospital as she collapsed due to excessive drinking. Which wasn’t the smartest decision considering her health issues.

One fan shared their theory that Sarah could die on X (formerly Twitter).

They wrote: “I still think Sarah could be the one in the grave that Cain is crying beside in the flashforward. It’s so random that she has not been on the scene for ages. Then all of a sudden she is there and drinking to block out her pain.”

If Sarah keeps drinking to try and get rid of her feelings, then she could end up causing damage to herself and risks her heart condition getting worse again.

If Sarah was the Emmerdale death then this would have huge ramifications for quite a lot of people in the village. And it would make complete sense as to why Cain looked so distraught in the flashforward.

Emmerdale death theories

While some may think Emmerdale wouldn’t kill a younger character, it was only one year ago they did exactly that to Heath Hope. And since then, the younger cast members have been stealing the spotlight.

If making an impact is what Emmerdale is going for, then killing off a character from the show’s most popular family is certainly a way to do just that.

However, right now it’s just speculation. Other names that fans are considering include Moira because of her current brain tumour story. And some are holding onto the theory that Nate was murdered and his body is hidden somewhere – so could it be him?

We just have to wait and see how it all plays out.

Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ Henry Mooreâ€™s link to John Sugden

Fans think they have worked out a connection between Henry Moore and one of the villagers in a new Emmerdale theory – John Sugden.

Last night’s visit to Emmerdale (January 2) saw a standalone episode which focused on Jacob’s first day at his A&E placement. And things did not go well.

But one person who was there to give him some advice was patient Henry Moore. The elderly man was a regular in the hospital, and while he waited to be seen, he made friends with some of the villagers.

Henry’s similarities to Zak were evident when speaking to Cain. (Credit: ITV)

Jacob met Henry Moore during his placement

It wasn’t only Jacob that Henry bonded with in the hospital, as he also connected with Cain. Perhaps due to the similarities between himself and Zak.

Henry told Jacob that his daughter Anita had dropped him off, but that he didn’t want to bother her. And then continued to talk about her.

In a heartbreaking twist, Henry died while Jacob went to get him a drink. And as it turned out, none of the stories he had been telling the trainee doctor about his daughter were true.

But one thing many fans did pick up on was his full name; Henry Moore.

Why is this interesting? Well because John Sugden was connected to an Aidan Moore, someone he has spent a whole lot of time mourning.

Emmerdale theory suggests Henry could have a connection to John. (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale theory suggests Henry has a connection to John

He recently told Aaron that he loved Aidan and blamed himself for his death. But after the confession fans couldn’t help but feel there was more to it. And some even suggested he could be Aidan himself.

The name could be a coincidence, but small details usually do have a meaning in soaps. Could Henry have been related to Aidan? And if John isn’t really who he says he is, could he hear about Henry’s passing?

Not only do they share the same surname, but Henry’s daughter was called Anita, another name beginning with ‘A’, just like Aidan.

So while Emmerdale were trying to raise more awareness of the everyday struggles that A&E workers face, they could have also been giving us clues that there is more to come in John’s story, just like we all thought.

Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their theories.

One wrote: “Could Henry Moore be related to the Aidan Moore that John keeps mourning over??”

Another added: “Wonder if ‘Henry Moore’ is related to this Aidan Moore than John was attached tooâ€¦”

It will be interesting to see if there is a connection between the characters or if it was merely a random coincidence. But as we want to learn more about John this year, we can hope there is something to it.

Emmerdale fans spot huge blunder as Moira becomes Jacobâ€™s biggest fan on social media

Last night’s episode of Emmerdale saw numerous villagers take a trip to A&E during Jacob’s first day on his placement. But as Moira was showing him support, fans noticed one big blunder.

At the start of the episode of Emmerdale, Moira saw Jacob at the hospital and got excited at the thought of him starting his placement.

Then not long later, when she was on her phone, she showed Cain a photo that the student doctor put on his social media.

Emmerdale Moira and Jacob blunder

But eagle-eyed viewers noticed she was actually logged in as Jacob, not just viewing his profile.

This editing blunder was noticed by many fans, and it’s safe to say they found it both annoying and amusing.

Speaking about the mistake on a Reddit thread, one fan wrote: “Moira, at the start of the episode is on her profile looking at Jacob’s post. But she also seems to be logged in as him. I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder.”

Another fan joked: “She liked his new photo so much she made it her own profile picture.”

While editing mistakes like this aren’t out of the ordinary, especially when phones are involved, it was a very easy thing to spot.

And since there was a focus on the fact Moira was even following Jacob in the first place – have we ever seen them interact? – the visual editors probably should have double checked that one.

Aside from the blunder, others question why she was so excited for him, as they don’t ever interact in the village.

Why does Moira even follow Jacob?

One jokingly wrote: “How many times have we seen Moira and Jacob on screen at the same time? They could be the same person.”

Others took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their confusion over their new bond.

A viewer wrote: “Since when did Cain and Moira notice Jacob existed let alone talk about him so much?”

While we have never really seen their friendship on screen, Moira told Cain she followed Jacob on social media because son Kyle does and she likes to keep track.

Emmerdale last night: ‘Brilliantly realistic’ or a ‘low-rent Casualty’ – fans in huge debate over Jacob standalone episode

In last night’s Emmerdale episode (January 2), the show once again provided a unique standalone episode following Jacob Gallagher’s first day at his A&E placement.

While he was initially excited for the experience. His first day quickly turned into hell as he made a huge mess-up.

Things kept getting progressively worse for Jacob, and by the end of the episode he looked like he had been there for more than one day.

While Emmerdale was trying to highlight the importance of A&E workers, along with the stress on the healthcare system. The response seems to be divided.

Jacob’s first day at A&E was a disaster. (Credit: ITV)

Jacob Emmerdale episode was ‘realistic’

On one side of things fans praised the storytelling for how realistic it was. The A&E department was busy and chaotic – similar to the real life situations.

Fans praised the Emmerdale episode in the comments of their Instagram post.

One wrote: “It was very realistic! I’m an ex-nurse and saw this on the A&E wards with my own eyes. It’s a very stressful job.”

Another added: “It was an emotional episode today. Seeing it from different people’s eyes, who are all going through difficult times. Well done Emmerdale.”

A third viewer praised: “What a rollercoaster. Brilliant writing, acting and production.”

However, not everybody appeared to share the same thought process, as many others thought the episode didn’t actually need to happen.

Fans slam ‘low-rate Casualty episode’

After Jacob made the huge error of telling Marlon and Rhona that the teenage stab victim was April even though he didn’t see her, his boss gave him some harsh words – right in front of everyone else.

Viewers felt that wasn’t necessary and while he deserved to be told off, it should have happened in private.

A viewer commented: “I could have written this. Knew it wasn’t going to be April and the old guy was going to die. This was like a really low-rate Casualty episode.”

Others seemed to agree with this view. Another added: “That nurse would have been reported immediately. Mistakes happen and they are learned from. Damaging the confidence of a starter is not the way to go.”

A third simply wrote: “This episode was unnecessary and boring.”

While it may have gotten mixed reviews from the viewers, it seems the Emmerdale episode certainly got people talking.

4 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: Marlon and Rhona argue and Jacob is stressed

In Emmerdale spoilers for tonight things get heated between Marlon and Rhona as the search for April continues.

Elsewhere Chas starts to have questions for Ruby, and Jacob feels the pressure.

All of this and more in Emmerdale spoilers for tonight.

1. Chas has questions in Emmerdale spoilers for tonight

When evil Anthony arrived in the village, Ruby immediately began to spiral. And after the revelation that he sexually abused her as a child, things have only gotten worse.

But her behaviour hasn’t been as subtle as she wanted. Other villagers, including Cain and Moira have already began to have their own suspicions. But tonight it’s her sister-in-law Chas that wants answers.

Chas worries about Ruby’s drinking habits, along with her constant irritated attitude, and so she tries to piece it together.

2. Ruby gives answers

Chas’ suspicions lead her to questioning Ruby herself. And while so far Ruby has remained quiet, it seems Chas is the one to break through.

After some grilling, Ruby actually breaks her silence. But what exactly has she told Chas? Was it about her past with her dad? Or is another villager now in on her and Cain’s secret?

Emmerdale spoilers see Jacob’s stress continue. (Credit: ITV)

3. Jacob’s stress continues

Last night’s episode saw Jacob have the worst start to his A&E placement. When a teenage stab victim came in with April’s purse, Jacob called in Marlon and Rhona, after wrongly believing it was her.

Then he was faced with a drunk Sarah, and things didn’t go down well between them. And to make matters worse, Henry, a patient, died while he was on shift.

After some tough words from his superior on shift, he ended the day with some advice.

But in Emmerdale spoilers for tonight, it seems last night’s events weren’t the ending of his woes. Now, concerned about what Marlon and Rhona will choose to do, and about his relationship with Sarah, in tonight’s episode his stress continues.

Things between Marlon and Rhona get intense. (Credit: ITV)

4. Marlon and Rhona get heated in Emmerdale spoilers

At the end of yesterday’s episode, Rhona saw a text from Laurel to Marlon thanking him for keeping quiet about them. So it’s safe to assume she will have questions.

Spoilers suggest the pair get into an argument tonight, has Rhona asked him about the text?

Or have they disagreed over how to handle the Jacob situation? Either way, things don’t sound good.

While we have no idea what the texts are about, we do have some theories.

Emmerdale fans â€˜obsessedâ€™ with Denise Welchâ€™s character and want her to be â€˜a regularâ€™

In last night’s episode of Emmerdale (Thursday, December 19), Denise Welch made her appearance. And fans adored her.

When it was announced that Denise Welch would be appearing in Emmerdale for Tom’s court case, there was a lot of online chatter on what it would look like.

But it’s safe to say her character Heidi did not disappoint.

Emmerdale Denise Welch appearance

Heidi was a member of the jury, and had the task of determining whether or not Tom was abusive. And in a unique format, Emmerdale actually showed us how the jury came to the decision.

Someone who was pivotal to the guilty verdict was in fact Heidi. From the very beginning she believed Belle’s story. And every time someone challenged her on it, she was determined to make them see the truth.

Throughout the episode of Emmerdale, Denise had some powerful lines to deliver, and fans were left demanding more.

Many took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their hopes for future appearances for the character.

One wrote: “Absolutely fantastic from Denise in Emmerdale. She should be brought in full time. Brilliant stuff.”

Another added: “Loving Denise Welch’s character in Emmerdale. She put it to the jury exactly how it is. Bring her back for more.”

Fans call for more of Heidi (Credit: ITV)

Fans want to know Heidi’s backstory

A third penned: “Wasn’t sure how Denise would work in Emmerdale when I heard the news. But I am OBSESSED with her. I want to know Heidi’s backstory.”

That’s what a lot of fans agreed on. When Heidi spoke to her fellow jurors, it sounded like she had her own personal experiences with the subject.

While she said she knew about it because ‘I’m a woman,’ many fans believe there may be more to explore with her character.

We don’t know if there has been any talks behind the scenes about Denise making another Emmerdale appearance, but if she does, it doesn’t look like fans would mind.

Denise wasn’t the only surprise appearance for Tom’s trial, as actor Charles Dale was there too.

Would you like to see Denise make another appearance in Emmerdale?
