Joe Tate has way more enemies than friends at this point in Emmerdale, and quite frankly, fans are sick of it. They want a change, and many have even found some ways that the show could make him go from villain to loved (or liked).<\/p>

<\/div><\/div>\n

Recently, Joe has been scheming<\/a> to get his hands on the entirety of Butlers Farm. He\u2019s already managed to blackmail Robert and Victoria to give him Annie\u2019s Field and their share. But now, he is turning to blackmailing Cain for Moira\u2019s half.<\/p>\n

With Cain determined not to give up, but Joe Tate not backing down that easily, Emmerdale viewers are adamant that he needs to have a change<\/a> in storyline once-and-for-all. But the question is how? Well, here are a few ways Emmerdale could seriously fix Joe\u2019s character.<\/p>\n

Some Emmerdale fans seem to think the best way to end Joe Tate\u2019s villainous storyline is to actually have him win \u2013 temporarily.<\/p>\n

Viewers will remember Robert Sugden told Aaron Dingle that he was determined to get the farm back. And that it was going to be their family legacy. But that hasn\u2019t been brought up since, and so fans think it\u2019s happening in the background.<\/p>
