After the shocking revelation about Joe Tate’s kidney plot earlier this year, many Emmerdale fans are on edge, believing that Joe’s time on the show is coming to an end. However, there’s a surprising twist. While characters like Caleb Milligan and Cain Dingle have been prime suspects, the viewers of ITV’s beloved soap opera are pointing to someone else who could be responsible for Joe’s demise.
The Return of Joe Tate and His Dark Secrets
Joe Tate made his dramatic return to the Dales last year, and it didn’t take long for fans to realize that his return wasn’t a simple homecoming. His motivations were unclear from the start, and as time passed, it became evident that Joe was hiding something deeply sinister. Joe’s dire need for a kidney transplant was revealed early this year, adding even more tension to his already suspicious behavior.
As his health rapidly deteriorated, Joe’s obsession with obtaining a kidney reached new extremes. In a chilling move, he drugged his half-brother Noah Dingle and took him to a secret clinic, intending to steal his kidney for his own use. However, Noah’s condition was deemed unfit for the surgery, and Joe was forced to release him. But that wasn’t the end of the chaos Joe would cause.
Noah, still under the influence of the drugs, wandered into the road, causing a terrifying accident. Charity Dingle, who was driving a limo full of villagers, swerved to avoid Noah and ended up crashing into an icy lake. Tragically, three villagers were killed, but Joe seemed completely unfazed by the horrific event, and his plot to get a kidney took an even darker turn.
Joe’s Dangerous Game: Caleb in the Crosshairs
Caleb Milligan became Joe’s next target. The two share a complicated history, and Caleb was unaware that Joe was behind the stabbing he had suffered earlier in the year. Caleb’s suspicion of Joe grew stronger as he uncovered more about his nephew’s secret kidney transplant.
In the April 17th episode, Caleb’s investigation began to unravel the truth. He visited the hospital where Joe had received his kidney transplant, but the receptionist informed him that no one named Dr. Crowley worked there. Caleb’s investigation continued when he crossed paths with Joe’s lover, Dawn Fletcher, who informed him that Joe had been injured. Caleb quickly deduced that Joe’s condition was far from normal, and a quick internet search revealed Joe’s kidney transplant, further fueling Caleb’s suspicions.
Later, Caleb confronted Joe at Home Farm, where he discovered a prescription linked to Joe’s transplant. Enraged, Caleb confronted Joe, but the conniving nephew vanished before the situation could escalate. Seeking answers, Caleb visited Cain Dingle at Butler’s farm, informing him of his suspicions and demanding his help to take down Joe. Caleb even went as far as to tell Cain that Joe needed to be killed, and it seemed as though the brothers were about to join forces in a deadly conspiracy. However, could someone else be responsible for Joe’s death?
The Unlikely Killer: Billy Fletcher’s Role in Joe Tate’s Demise
While Caleb and Cain have been the obvious suspects, the true killer might be someone no one expected. Despite his tumultuous relationship with Dawn, there are whispers that Billy Fletcher, a man with a dark past, could be the one who ultimately ends Joe’s life.
Billy’s involvement with Dawn has been a key plot point, especially after she ended her marriage to him and began an affair with Joe. As Billy struggles to move on, his obsession with Dawn could push him to drastic measures. Fans have pointed to the ongoing tension between Billy and Joe as a potential trigger for murder. Could Billy, consumed by jealousy and anger, have finally decided to take matters into his own hands?
Actor Joe Gill, known for his role as Finn Barton in Emmerdale, is no stranger to intense character arcs. His most recent project, Treading Water, features a stark contrast to his previous roles. In this gripping film, Joe portrays Danny, a man battling obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and a heroin addiction, struggling to rebuild his life. The film, nominated for three British Independent Film Awards, allows Joe to delve into complex psychological territory, showcasing the character’s inner turmoil and desperate need for control over his life.
When asked about his role in the film, Joe spoke candidly about Danny’s struggles with mental health, saying, “Danny is a real guy who is going through a lot of hardships. The wonderful thing about this movie is that despite being the main character, Danny isn’t perfect. We all have our shades, and not everything Danny does in this movie is morally correct.”
Joe’s portrayal of Danny resonates deeply with audiences because of the character’s imperfections and his journey to find redemption. This role allowed Joe to explore themes like addiction and mental health in a way that feels authentic and raw. It’s a stark departure from his character Finn, but it highlights Joe’s range as an actor.
Emmerdale’s Legacy and Joe Gill’s Impact
Joe’s time on Emmerdale may have been cut short, but his legacy as Finn Barton still looms large. Finn’s tragic death in 2017 was one of the most emotional moments in the show’s history, and Joe’s portrayal of the character left an indelible mark on fans. Finn’s quirky personality, his humorous one-liners, and his complicated relationships with his family members made him one of the most beloved characters in the Dales.
Looking back on his time on the show, Joe reflects fondly on his role in the Barton family. He shares, “I consider myself extremely privileged to have been a part of the Bardens, a family that played a significant role in the show. Super Soap Week, when the helicopter crash occurred during our family’s wedding, was an unforgettable moment. I also remember being involved in the large vehicle crash in 2015, which felt like filming a feature film.”
For Joe, Emmerdale wasn’t just about acting—it was about building lasting friendships. He shares that he remains close with his co-stars, Mike Parr (who played his brother, Ross) and Anthony Quinlan (who played his brother, Pete). These friendships have persisted even after Joe’s departure from the soap.
What’s Next for Joe Gill?
Since leaving Emmerdale, Joe has continued to pursue a diverse range of roles, including his recent project for BBC Air 4. He’s signed with new management and is being considered for some exciting new projects. As for his future in acting, Joe is optimistic, saying, “Who knows in an actor’s life? We’ll see what the future brings.”
With his talent and versatility, Joe Gill is sure to continue making waves in the industry, whether on screen or stage. And as Emmerdale fans continue to speculate about Joe Tate’s fate, one thing is certain: the mystery of Joe’s killer will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
