Emmerdale has confirmed nine suspects will be involved in a whodunnit regarding Joe Tate.
Joe has conned and schemed his way around the Dales in recent months, with several village residents being a victim of his duplicitous nature.
Tensions will soon come to the fore as his various secrets – and crimes – are revealed during Lydia’s surprise party at Home Farm, with the celebratory mood soon being punctured.
It soon becomes increasingly apparent that Joe will face retribution for his actions, though it’s initially unclear who the vengeful individual is, with the ITV soap confirming that nine characters could be the perpetrator.

Dawn Fletcher has a motive following her affair with Joe, though husband Billy has an even stronger urge for revenge after discovering his wife’s infidelity. Adoptive daughter Clemmie Reed is also angry following the breakdown of her guardians’ relationship – will she seek revenge on Joe?
The Miligans have their own beef with Joe, after Caleb discovered that Joe’s guardian angel act was actually a ruse for a covert kidney operation. Wanting to support her husband, could Ruby be the guilty party?
The Dingles also have valid reasons, with Charity harbouring a grudge after Joe drugged her son Noah, which led to a devastating crash and the loss of three innocent lives. Hot-headed Cain, who is supporting Caleb and his immediate family, similarly has Joe in his sights.
Kerry Wyatt has a growing yearning for vengeance after discovering that Joe was responsible for the crash that led to the death of her daughter, Amy. Will her rage lead to dangerous confrontation?
