Emmerdale spoilers reveal Joe whodunnit storyline

It’s fair to say that Joe Tate has made a fair few enemies since he’s been back in the Dales. He came back at Christmas last year and in just a short amount of time, most of the village has turned against him (if they hadn’t already from his last appearance).

Now though, after his affair with Dawn and kidney transplant schemes, it looks like Joe’s about to get his comeuppance.

At Lydia’s surprise birthday party at Home Farm, it becomes clear that it’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when Joe will fall victim to an attacker.

But, who is in the running to strike and get their revenge?

Joe Tate whodunnit suspects uncovered

At the party, there’s Dawn, Billy and Clemmie – with their family being broken thanks to Dawn and Joe’s affair. There’s bad blood there, for sure!

Then there’s Charity and Noah, with the pair suspecting Joe of spiking Noah and causing the limo crash. And we all know that Joe’s already upset one of Charity’s kids in the past, so she’s bound to be protective over Noah this time round.

Also in the line-up, we have Cain, Caleb and Ruby. They’re all livid with Joe for secretly taking Caleb’s kidney. And while they’ve done a deal with Joe and Kim to keep the peace, we don’t think they’re dropping the grudge anytime soon.

And finally, Kerry also finds herself in the mix as she realises that Joe was actually the reason the limo crashed and killed Amy.

But, who will Joe’s mystery attacker be?
