‘There’s definitely a vibe!’ Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ new love interest for Joe Tate following Dawn’s death
Fans have spotted the pair sharing more scenesEmmerdale fans are convinced they know who Joe Tate’s next romance is going to be with after spotting “chemistry” between the pair on screen.
Just last month, Emmerdale aired heartbreaking scenes as Dawn Fletcher died after giving birth to baby William. Since then, Joe has been on a revenge hunt and has pushed everyone close to him away.
However, in recent episodes, he finally accepted his son and has been trying to be a good dad to him. In doing so, Emmerdale fans have noticed that he has been spending more time with another character. And now they think there’s romance on the cards.
Joe Tate finally accepted dad life in Emmerdale
Gabby knew that Vinny was responsible for the crash that killed both Jimmy and Dawn, but she chose to keep it a secret. So, when the truth came out, she was swiftly kicked out of Home Farm.
Desperate to make amends with the Tates, she begged Joe for forgiveness. He decided he would forgive her if she helped him with a very extreme plot against Graham and Kim.
In doing so, Joe ultimately accepted that he was a dad and allowed Gabby to move back into Home Farm. But in the last few episodes, the pair have been spending more and more time together.
Gabby has been offering to help with baby William, and both of them are clearly suspicious of Kim’s newly arrived daughter, Thea. On top of that, Joe has been trying to encourage Kim to forgive Gabby.
But seeing them suddenly sharing numerous scenes has left fans wondering if there is a romance on the horizon.
Is romance on the cards for Joe and Gabby?
Taking to social media, fans theorised that Gabby and Joe could ultimately end up in a relationship in Emmerdale.
One fan penned on X: “Joe and Gabby are going to be a thing, aren’t they?”
Others debated the subject on Reddit. One fan posted: “Anyone else think the last few episodes have strongly hinted that Joe and Gabby will be a couple soon?”
Another agreed: “Oh, I’ve seen this coming for years it feels like.”
“Absolutely, a new romance is nearly upon us,” a third added.
Others believed that while something might happen between them, they may ultimately decide it was a mistake because the timing is too soon.
One Emmerdale fan wrote: “I would bet something happens around Christmas. Maybe a kiss. But then they both realise it is too soon and they aren’t ready. They will remain friends before finally getting together properly by next Spring.”
Another theorised: “I really hope not. The last thing that should be on Joe’s mind is moving on to a woman who in his mind was partly responsible for Dawn’s death. I will always view these two as family and nothing more. I think they have that dynamic.”
Whether romance is on the cards for Joe and Gabby in Emmerdale remains to be seen. But right now, we’re enjoying getting to see a whole new side to the Tate bad boy.
