VIEWERS IN SHOCK!!! Emmerdale confirms who pushed Joe Tate in early ITVX release

This article contains spoilers for Monday (May 12)’s Emmerdale, which airs at 7.30PM but is available to view now on ITVX.

Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) was still in hospital with his life in the balance during this episode of Emmerdale, and the focus was on discovering who could have pushed him out of the window during Lydia (Karen Blick)’s birthday party at Home Farm.

At the party, Joe was a marked man with a lot of people looking for some way to get revenge on him.

Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) had recently been devastated to discover that Joe was having an affair with Billy’s wife Dawn (Olivia Bromley), which had been a cause of Dawn deciding to end their marriage.

She’d maintained that she’d simply fallen out of love with Billy and nobody else was involved, but this was shown to be a lie when Billy and Dawn’s daughter Clemmie (Mabel Addison) saw Dawn and Billy kissing.

Joe attempted to buy Clemmie’s silence and, when that failed, threatened that she would be taken into care if she told anyone what she’d seen.

She confided in Billy, however, and he was devastated both by his wife being unfaithful and by the way Joe had treated Clemmie. Billy was simmering with anger at the party, and seeing Joe and Dawn dancing together did nothing to calm him down.

Meanwhile other villagers were furious with Joe because of the measures he’d taken to steal a kidney when he needed a transplant. Drugging Noah (Jack Downham) to secretly test him to see if he was a match had led Noah to be wandering around the countryside late at night, where his sudden appearance had caused Charity (Emma Atkins) to swerve the limo she was driving.

The ensuing accident caused the deaths of three people, including Amy Barton (Natalie Ann Jamieson) and Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi).

Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) and Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) therefore had a strong motive to do harm to Joe because of the deaths he’d caused. Noah and Charity have had those deaths on their conscience too, and Charity had explicitly vowed revenge and we’d seen Charity slip a drug into Joe’s drink at the party.

Caleb Miligan (William Ash), whose kidney had eventually been taken by Joe, was also out for revenge, as was his wife Ruby (Beth Cordingly).

All of these people were questioned at the start of the episode, and they all had explanations for what they were doing at the point that Joe was apparently pushed from a window.

Noah, who was the first to find Joe, insisted that he wanted to make Joe confess to drugging him, but he didn’t get the chance.

Eventually, everyone seemed to be implicating Billy, and the police took him in for questioning.

Billy was the person who seemed to have the strongest motive, and it wasn’t looking good for him when the police revealed that they’d found his fingerprints in Joe’s bedroom. He was duly arrested for the crime.

But then someone came forward to give Billy an alibi – and in a shock twist we discovered who Joe Tate’s attacker was.
