He didn\u2019t respond to a message telling him his family member was dead and he didn\u2019t come to the funeral. Has he even checked in on his beloved daughter Frankie? The one he couldn\u2019t bear to be parted with? Come on.<\/p>\n<h3>2. He just disappeared<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubting Nate\u2019s exit was really strange. Either actor<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2024\/09\/13\/ive-made-friends-for-life-at-emmerdale-jurell-carter-spills-the-beans-on-nate-exit\/\"> Jurell Carter<\/a> really annoyed someone and was given the worst exit ever, or there\u2019s more to it.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>The barn fire was happening as he was on his way to said barn to confront Moira. So why didn\u2019t he make it? Why did he change his mind? So many unanswered questions that hint he\u2019s actually dead.<\/p>\n<h3>3. John\u2019s shifty behaviour<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2024\/09\/13\/with-the-fate-of-nate-under-intense-speculation-emmerdale-fans-predict-john-killed-him\/\">John was actually the last person to see Nate<\/a> alive. He also informed Tracy Nate had just upped and gone. But at the time he was standing very closely guarding his van and making sure the door was firmly shut. He looked shifty. Was that what we now know to be his general demeanour? Or was he hiding something?<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5467\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5467\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5467 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/09_09_emm_nate_cain_tracy_01.jpg\" alt=\"Cain Dingle and Tracy Robinson confront Nate Robinson in Emmerdale\" width=\"1500\" height=\"988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/09_09_emm_nate_cain_tracy_01.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/09_09_emm_nate_cain_tracy_01-1024x674.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/09_09_emm_nate_cain_tracy_01-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/09_09_emm_nate_cain_tracy_01-768x506.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5467\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Things weren\u2019t exactly peachy last time they met (Credit: ITV)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>4. No one cares about Nate in Emmerdale!<\/h3>\n<p>Cain\u2019s reaction to his son\u2019s absence at the funeral could not have been less bothered. Tracy hasn\u2019t got a clue where he is and despite one or two tears at the start of his disappearance, she\u2019s not been fussed since. Frankie doesn\u2019t see her dad either. It\u2019s like Nate never existed. Or he\u2019s actually dead somewhere\u2026<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2024\/10\/10\/emmerdale-cast-2024-charles-anderson-dingles-kerry-wyatt-complete-list-whos-who-dales\/\">Complete Emmerdale cast for 2024<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src-consent=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cm9DG60cDSs?si=U9p7lKru3G7r2B9p\" data-consent-required=\"true\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Emmerdale usually airs weeknights on ITV at 7.30pm.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Classic Emmerdale usually airs every weekday on ITV3 at 6am and 6.30am, plus 1.40pm and 2.10pm.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Visit our Facebook page<\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/entertainmentdaily.co.uk\"> <b><i>@emmerdaleinsider<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> for all the latest Emmerdale news, gossip and spoilers and let us know what you think!
