Emmerdale's John Sugden, Nate Robinson

Emmerdale fans have spotted a huge ‘flaw’ in last night’s John and Nate scenes (Thursday, April 10) as it was revealed how Nate actually died.

Flashbacks showed that John was the one to kill Nate before disposing of his body in a river.

But, fans have no idea how Nate’s body could’ve ended up in the lake afterwards…

John kills Nate in Emmerdale

After the limo crash, Amy fell through the ice and saw a deceased hand with a bracelet on in the water.

Tracy helped pull her out, with Amy unable to communicate to Matty that she saw Nate in the water. She sadly then died in the hospital.

Last night though, a flashback revealed that John had actually killed Nate. Right before the barn fire, John realised that Nate was in pain and had injected him with something to make him go drowsy.

He then said ‘time to wake up’ as he injected him with something else, but Nate didn’t react well and ended up dying as a result.

John then bagged up his body and wrapped it up with chains before dumping it over the bridge and into the river…

Fans baffled by major ‘error’ as John disposes of Nate’s body

John chucked Nate’s body into the river, but the soap previously made a huge point of showing Nate’s body in the lake during the frozen lake limo crash.

And, now fans have no idea how Nate’s body ended up in the lake if it was previously chucked into the river. Confusing, right?

One fan noted: “So Nate died on 9th September 2024 and his body has been submerged in water for 7 months and has not decomposed at all? P.S. How was he dropped into a river wrapped in chains and bagged up, but we know he’s in a LAKE? Seriously stop trying to be as bad as Corrie.”

Another fan wondered: “How did Nate’s body get into a lake that had no river running into it?”

A third person added: “Where did the random bridge come from? No bridge at the lake at the time of accident and if the body was weighed down then it wouldn’t have moved far. Have they [bleeped] up a little?”
