New twist in Emmerdale's Joe Tate drama brings chaos for THIS character
There's yet more drama to come in Emmerdale now that the truth about Joe Tate's fate has been revealed...
Next week sees a new storyline twist heading to Emmerdale as Graham Foster goes to the police to tell them Joe Tate is alive.
The police investigation into Joe's sudden disappearance on his wedding day takes a turn when Graham reports there has been a sighting of the young businessman over in Monte Carlo.
But while Graham is only reporting the news to the police to wind up Kim Tate, the fallout has huge consequences for Cain Dingle.
As Emmerdale fans will know, Cain still thinks that not only is Joe dead, but that he is the one who killed him with a fatal punch last year.
But next week will see the mechanic discover that he's not the killer he thought he was when it is revealed that Debbie's former fiancee is actually alive and well.
With Kim still digging her claws into the Dingles, desperate to get her hands on their farm, she has been using the fact that Cain apparently killed Joe as a way to blackmail them.
