Joe is running out of time in Emmerdale spoilers
Ever since Joe arrived back in the village last year it’s been clear he’s a very sick man. Kim’s step-grandson is suffering from some kind of life-threatening health condition and requires urgent treatment.
Joe keeps collapsing and has been popping painkillers as if they’re sweets. He’s also been having covert phone chats with someone about ‘the plan’. That person is a private doctor called Crowley, who came to Joe’s aid and delivered him a mysterious black case.
The pair discussed the fact that Joe is on borrowed time, leading fans to speculate he’s in kidney failure and in need of a transplant. That would go a long way to explain why Joe recently targeted Noah in a shock spiking.
So far, Joe has managed to conceal the truth from his family. But how much longer can he carry on?

Sick Joe rejects Dawn
Having been advised to conserve what little energy he has left, Joe is deliberately avoiding sex with Dawn. He shuns his lover’s romantic advances, ensuring she stays well away from both him and his suitcase.
As a dejected Dawn walks away, Joe finally opens the case and its content are revealed. Is there a dialysis machine inside as suspected, or something else?
Meanwhile, Dawn is forced to lie about the source of her bad mood when Billy arrives back at Home. But it seems her husband is also harbouring a guilty secret. What’s he up to?

Billy and Dawn’s marriage is in crisis in Emmerdale spoilers
We’ve said it for ages but Billy and Dawn just aren’t right for one another. Their marriage ran out of steam a long time ago and it was little surprise when Dawn embarked on an affair with Joe.
Billy can’t see what’s been going on right under his nose, but maybe because his mind hasn’t totally been focused on his wife. In fact another local lady seems to have caught his eye – village doctor, Manpreet.
There was a flirtation between the pair last year, but since then nothing. But old feelings resurface when Manpreet drops Billy back at Home Farm and they share a charged moment. Will Billy cross the line?

When Emmerdale brought back Joe Tate it was clear that he was hiding a mystery illness that requires an on-call doctor. And nearly three full months later, we still don’t know what it actually is.
But recent episodes gave us more of an insight as he got progressively worse and called for his doctor. But Dr Crowley didn’t seem like any normal doctor. He has been visiting Joe in the evenings, checking up on him during the days. Anyone would think he’s the new Graham.
He told Joe that he needed to stop his affair with Dawn (hasn’t really gone to plan). And on one occasion used whatever was in Joe’s black small suitcase to make him feel temporarily better – leading viewers to believe he has kidney failure. But could the mystery doctor be in Joe’s life for another, more sinister reason?
Viewers are now suspicious about Joe’s doctors true intentions are. And even think he may be more than a doctor to him. But what exactly could he be hiding?
What is Joe’s mystery illness? (Credit: ITV)
Tate connection?
Some fans think Dr Crowley and Joe may actually be related. And if that’s true, and the doc is somehow connected to the Tate family, then maybe he is up to his own con. Could he have his own plan in motion to take over Home Farm?
Taking to a reddit thread, one fan theorised: “Something is telling me that he isn’t really a doctor, or he has ties to the Tate’s. Why would he help Joe and go to so much length and secrecy to do so? How come he only Joe has seen him?
The relationship between Joe and Crowley seems a bit closer than doctor and patient? I wonder if the reason he hasn’t been seen with other characters yet is because someone might recognise him?”
Dodgy doc
Another popular theory seems to be that he isn’t a doctor at all and is actually pretending that he is to Joe for money.
Knowing Joe, he is probably paying a lot of money for Dr Crowley. So if he finds out this whole time he hasn’t been honest with him, it will sure cause some chaos.
One fan suggested: “I think he could be conning Joe, pretending to be a doctor when he isn’t really.” And another agreed: “That would be so good. Conning the conner.”
What his exact motive would be is unknown, but are we about to find out there’s more than meets the eye?
Another fan believes this is a likely situation, and that the medication he is giving Joe may actually be making him sicker.
They wrote: “He could giving pills to Joe that are making him more ill. To ensure that Joe is dependant on him (and get money).”
What is he hiding? (Credit: ITV)
Secret relationship?
This one feels a bit of a reach. But some fans think his need for Joe and Dawn to stop their affair is actually because he is jealous.
This theory doesn’t seem too plausible considering if this was the case, Joe could have just avoided Dawn for good. So maybe even if it isn’t a proper relationship, could Dr Crowley have a crush on him?..
One fan noticed: “I wondered whether he was a lover of sorts. He uses ‘we’ a lot, but a doctor would more likely say ‘you’.”
A second viewer added: “I did think after last week that there might be a romance going on. Purely based on the way he spoke to him.”

A new Emmerdale fan theory has viewers hoping that Billy Fletcher could have an affair with Kim Tate as revenge for Dawn betraying him with Joe. Dawn and Joe have been unable to keep their hands off of each other for the last few weeks, carrying on their affair under the noses of Billy and Kim.
Kim finally learned what Joe and Dawn have been up to last week, enlisting Lydia to spy on her step-grandson. Following the pair out into the woods, Lydia was shocked to catch Joe and Dawn at it. Back at Home Farm, she filled an appalled Kim in on what she’d witnessed.

Joe packs his bags as Kim learns of his affair
Accusing Joe of taking advantage of Dawn, she issued him an ultimatum. End things, or he’d be out on his ear. While Joe didn’t appear to be paying her warning much heed, he’s off anyway – telling Dawn last night that he’s off on a ‘business trip’ to Dubai for the next two weeks.
Dawn, meanwhile, has been having second thoughts – but not enough to dissuade her from the affair. Not even Billy catching her in the act was enough to stop the affair entirely, even if she did seem to develop a guilty conscience later.
But what will Billy do when he inevitably learns the truth?

Billy to get revenge on Dawn by having affair with Kim, Emmerdale fan demands
Writing on Reddit in the wake of last night’s episode, one fan shared their thoughts on what Billy might do once the affair is exposed.
“I hope Billy get revenge on the pair. Plot twist has affair with Kim,” this fan joked.
Elsewhere on social media, others shared their thoughts on how they’d like to see the story play out.
“She was alright at first! Seemed like a decent character. Now she’s a HORROR and I hope Billy leaves her and finds a much nicer girl,” wrote one viewer on X.
“Can’t stand Dawn. Billy deserves better can’t wait for Dawn to be found out soon and that she loses everything,” another agreed.
“It would be good if billy finds out secretly and dumps her and leaves with his kid, just his kid,” said a fourth.

A new Emmerdale fan theory has emerged – suggesting that Joe’s doctor could be but a figment of his fevered imagination. Joe Tate‘s doctor – if that’s what he is – has appeared in his hour of need as his illness has continued to worsen.
Last week, he came to Joe’s rescue when he collapsed after being kidnapped by Ross. Joe’s mystery man helped him up the stairs in Home Farm to his bed, where he recovered enough to continue lying and scheming.
Many have speculated that this means that Joe might need dialysis for his condition, with a kit tucked away in a mystery black box in his bedroom. And, as he puts a desperate plan into motion, Joe and his doctor planned their next move last night.

Joe’s doctor came calling in Emmerdale last night
Joe’s doctor paid another visit in Emmerdale last night, when he warned Joe against overexerting himself in his affair with Dawn. Telling Joe to focus on his health, he noted “this trip for your treatment can’t come soon enough.”
He then scarpered as he heard footsteps coming. Joe then told Dawn that he was leaving town for a while, off to Dubai on a spot of business.
But who is Joe’s doctor – and how does he always manage to teleport sight unseen around Home Farm?

Joe Tate’s doctor isn’t really there, new Emmerdale fan theory predicts
Writing on Reddit, one viewer speculated that there might be more to Joe’s doctor than meets the eye. Or less, as it were.
“Amazing how that mystery bloke known only to Joe keeps appearing at Home Farm. Is he actually just in Joe’s imagination? Nobody else sees him,” this viewer pointed out.
“That would be a brilliant twist,” agreed another.
“Joe takes mate, walks in and out the house no one sees him come up the drive in his car and parks it up, just appears and disappears into the atmosphere,” another noted, over on X.

It’s been another dramatic week in our Emmerdale review and once more it’s all about the men. All the men. Trying, as Chas put it early in the week, to “out-macho” one another.
There have been some fights, a bit of squaring up, a lot of shouting, a syringe full of summer fruits juice, and generally just loads of testosterone flying about all over the place.
Anyway, let’s crack open a cold beer, have a punch-up, and watch some sport. Because here’s this week’s Emmerdale review. Or should we say Men-erdale? No? Ah it was worth a shot.
Pouting won’t make this any better, Caleb (Credit: ITV)
So macho
Cain and Caleb seem to be stuck in an endless loop of arguing. At this point it seems the only resolution is for them either to decide they forgive each other and move on, or both leave the village forever, because frankly we can’t cope with all this sniping. Cain, Caleb, Ruby and Moira have all done terrible things. Let’s just leave it there, shall we?
Ruby’s story is now all about Caleb (Credit: ITV)
Once again a story that should be about women is about men (two stories in fact) in Emmerdale
Ruby’s abuse by her evil father Anthony, and Moira’s brain tumour are both huge stories. Ruby and Moira are big, bold, brilliant female characters. And Beth Cordingly, who plays Ruby, and Natalie J Robb, AKA Moira, are both amazing, accomplished actresses.
But somehow these stories told by these actresses have become secondary to Cain and Caleb’s feud. This has happened before when Lydia’s rape turned into ‘who killed Craig’. So we knew this was going to happen when Cain and Ruby slept together, and we know we’ve said this before in our Emmerdale review, but we really wish it hadn’t.
We want to see Ruby working through her feelings about her dad (surely she needs some sort of counselling for this?!) and Moira coping with her brain surgery, not to mention now also supporting Matty and Kyle through the loss of Amy. It feels like these huge stories are being lost.
John revealed where the body was – or did he? (Credit: ITV/ Composite EI!)
Emmerdale review: What is John up to?
We do not trust John Sugden. We’re pretty sure he was lying about where Anthony’s body is. We’re wondering if he had something to do with Nate’s body being in the icy lake. We’re not confident he’s being honest with Aaron about his past. Somehow he has manipulated things so he is apparently in charge of the Dingles now. He’s the boss. Even though he’s a Sugden.
And we love it!
John is so calm and still in a chaotic village full of chaotic characters. But he’s still in a way that suggests there’s a lot more to him than we already know. And we’re really liking this suggestion of darkness around him.
Lydia’s pics of Joe and Dawn are amazing! (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale review: Super sleuths Lydia and Kim
The highlight of our week was Kim and Lydia teaming up to find out what Joe is up to. Kim dubbing herself the ‘doyenne of dubiousness’ was genius. Lydia trailing Joe through the woods to meet Dawn, and then snapping pictures worthy of Hollywood’s finest paparazzo was hilarious. We are here for Tate and Dingle PIs being on the case.
Lucky for Ross that Joe’s not Batman (Credit: ITV)
Joe’s not Batman
“I’m not Batman,” Joe Tate told Dawn this week. Which made us laugh. But also he could be – he’s rich, suave, a bit tortured. He’s got the tragic backstory, the murdered parents (well, his mum was murdered, his dad just pretended to be murdered.) Just saying…
But superhero secret identities aside, we are bewildered by Joe and his weird secrets. What is going on? Why did he drug Noah? How did he get the strength to smash his way out of the barn when he could barely stand up? Who was the mysterious man who came to his rescue? Was he a doctor? What was the ‘short-term solution’ that was in the case?
It is confusing and slightly annoying. If he’s ill, then there’s a perfectly good hospital in Hotten, with excellent staff who we’re sure would take good care of him.
Just veering off topic slightly, we were also delighted to see Dawn reverting to type and being super-moody with Joe now too. That honeymoon period is short when it comes to Mrs Fletcher.

Steph is vile
Give it a rest, Steph.
Emmerdale review: Marlon is losing his mind over April
And you can give it a rest too, Marlon. Sleeping downstairs with the keys in your pocket? This is madness. MADNESS. How this man hasn’t given himself another stroke is anyone’s guess.

Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale saw Joe Tate confronted over his affair with Dawn – sparking rumours he’s leaving the soap again. Caught in the act by snooping Lydia, Kim demanded to know what he’d been playing at.
Disapproving of his manipulation of vulnerable Dawn, Kim set forth an ultimatum. As he insisted that their affair was all for Dawn’s benefit, concerned Kim told him that he needed to stay away from Dawn or else he’d find himself out on his ear, with no way back.
“You know how I deal with people who cross me,” she snarled, before storming off. Will Joe heed Kim’s warning, or will he continue playing with fire?
Between Kim’s ultimatum and Joe’s declining health, things aren’t looking good. But is actor Ned Porteous about to leave Emmerdale again?

Is Ned Porteous leaving Emmerdale as soap confirms Joe is on death’s door?
The soap has yet to confirm whether Ned Porteous will leave Emmerdale this year. His return was announced last year, with actor Ned teasing what Joe was up to by saying: “There’s a lot of unfinished business for Joe, and it feels like the right time for him to make a comeback.”
However, neither he nor ITV revealed whether Joe’s return to the Dales is a permanent one. And, as his health continues to worsen and Kim steps up the pressure, it seems as though he’s running out of time.
Meanwhile, Emmerdale spoilers for next week have confirmed that Joe plans to leave Home Farm in the wake of Kim’s discovery.

Kim rumbled Dawn and Joe’s affair in Emmerdale
Did Dawn and Joe really think they could have an affair right under Kim’s nose and get away with it. The Queen of Home Farm knows everything.
This week, while knowing Joe was acting very suss, Kim’s little bug in Joe’s room didn’t expose anything dodgy. So, Kim then changed tactics, having Joe believe that she completely trusted him.
Recruiting Lydia to act as her spy, Kim was desperate to find out just what Joe was hiding. And, she did tonight.
Lydia followed Joe through the woods and pulled out her phone to snap a photo of him meeting up with Dawn and kissing her.
She then reported this all back to Kim, who then confronted Joe over her findings.
He told Kim that her evidence just showed two people happy to see each other.
Kim then told Joe to leave her family alone if he knew what was good for him. But, something tells us Mr. Joe Tate won’t go down without a fight…
Dawn’s not impressed (Credit: ITV)

What can Dawn do to make sure that the news doesn’t get back to her husband Billy? And, is Joe really going to leave or does he have other plans?

In Emmerdale tonight, April Windsor returned to school, but she she was disheartened to hear some of her classmates talking about her.
Elsewhere, it was Jacob’s birthday and he got emotional when he found a present his mum had purchased before she sadly died.
Here is the full rundown of what happened in Emmerdale tonight (Friday, February 28).
April heard girls gossiping about her (Credit: ITV)
April went back to school
Yesterday, April made the brave decision to go back to school. However, it wasn’t a successful day and April ended up leaving early after hearing two girls talking about her.
While April was in a cubicle, two girls entered the toilet. One mentioned that April was back at school and referred to her as a “freak”.
The girls continued to slag April off, saying she looked “dead rough” and “have you seen the state of her?”
They also speculated about who the baby’s father was. “That’s what happens when you have a baby with someone on drugs,” said one of the girls, while the other girl said she had heard it was a mate of April’s dad.
April was also referred to as a “slapper”, while one girl said: “My mum said it’s always the ones who make out they’re little miss perfect,” and called her a “silly cow”.
All the while, April was upset in the cubicle listening in. Poor April. Once the girls left the toilets, April crept out too and left school. This caused Marlon and Rhona to worry that she’d run off again, but she soon returned home.
It was Jacob’s birthday (Credit: ITV)
Jacob struggled with his grief
Sarah found Jacob Gallagher at Leyla’s office, where he apologised to her for shouting at her over Noah.
It was also revealed to be Jacob’s birthday. He showed Sarah a present he’d found under his mum’s desk. Jacob opened it and became emotional to see it was an engraved stethoscope.Â
He also opened the card, which had the message: “Happy birthday to the best son in the universe, the best doctor in the world and the love of my life now and forever.”
Later, in the pub, Jacob was struggling to work through his grief. Belle sat with him and spoke about what it was like when her mum died. Jacob soon decided that his mum wouldn’t want him wallowing on his own on his birthday.
Joe was told to end his affair – or else (Credit: ITV)
Dawn and Joe were caught in Emmerdale tonight
Joe caught Lydia trying to go through his drawers. She pretended she was putting ironing away, but Joe knew she was lying.
Later, Dawn continued to flirt with Joe, telling him everyone was out. But Joe pointed out that ‘Inspector Clueless’ was there, referring to Lydia.
However, Joe didn’t need much persuading and he agreed to meet Dawn at the cottage. Lydia decided to follow him. She was shocked to see him kissing Dawn and took a photo – not so clueless after all.
Joe returned to Home Farm later to find Billy. Billy confided that Dawn is always too busy for him lately. Joe appeared to have a conscience briefly as he told Billy he was sure it would all work out.
After learning the truth from Lydia, Kim later spoke to Dawn, informing her that she loved Billy Fletcher for his decency and honesty that others don’t seem to share.
Before Kim could go any further, Dawn was called away to her son. Kim decided to confront Joe instead, telling him she knows about Dawn. She told him that Dawn is vulnerable, but his response was simply to say Dawn needed an escape because Billy is boring.
Kim threatened to tell Billy and kick Joe out if Joe doesn’t put a stop to it. But will he listen to her?Â
