'JOE ISN'T A PSYCHOPATH'
Joe Tate is backed into a corner in Emmerdale, and his health is spiralling fast.
“He’s pretty ill,” says actor Ned Porteous, who plays Joe. “He’s not in a good place at all.” And now, in true Tate fashion, Joe is plotting a drastic move – stealing his half-uncle Caleb Miligan’s kidney to save himself.
It’s been six years since Joe was last seen in Emmerdale. His fate had been a mystery and his whereabouts were unknown before his comeback. In 2019, villagers even believed he was dead – Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) confessed to his murder. Joe was then caught stealing money from step-grandmother Kim Tate, as CCTV surveillance snapped him in Monte Carlo. So it’s no surprise that he received an icy reception when he returned this Christmas.
