Emmerdale?<\/h2>\n<p>Nate left the Dales last year. He was supposedly taking a job in Shetland, which is known for being remote. He has barely been in touch since he went, sending just one message to ex Tracy telling her he wasn\u2019t ready to talk and he would be in touch when he was.<\/p>\n<p>The last viewers saw of Nate, he was off to confront Moira Dingle. She was unknowingly in the grips of her brain tumour and had made a pass at him. Caleb had witnessed it, told Cain and Cain had beaten his son. Nate tried to explain it was nothing and he had pushed her away, but Cain wanted nothing to do with him.<\/p>\n<p>Tracy, with whom he had recently reconciled, also ended things and told him to go to Shetland alone.<\/p><div class=\"my-5 boxout\"><div><h2 class=\"!text-2xl p-3 !my-0 bg-[var(--color-v-primary)]\">Don't miss a single story!
