The end could be nigh for Emmerdale’s Joe Tate after star Ned Porteous shared new headshots online.
Joe, as viewers know, has antagonised just about everyone in the eponymous village since his return at Christmas, getting under the skin of the village’s finest.
But it seems a comeuppance could be on the cards, with the stage set for a number of characters to get their revenge on the popular show schemer next week.
With Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) getting wind of Joe’s affair with Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) – after the businessman issues a dark threat to Clemmie – the PT sees red and contemplates taking action.
He’s not alone, with Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) having her suspicions that Joe spiked Noah (Jack Downham) confirmed.
The Woolpack landlady is left reeling but will this discovery prompt her to take matters into her own hands?
A party subsequently gets underway at Home Farm in aid of Lydia’s (Karen Blick) birthday but, with so much bad blood circulating regarding Joe and his actions, will one scorned resident seek revenge?
The character’s fate is up in the air and a worrying sign in the form of new headshots online could indicate the end for him.
‘@dancollinsphoto Thanks for the snaps,’ wrote actor Ned Porteous, posting the new snaps on social media. ‘I promise I’m happier with them than I look in the photos.’
New headshots can be an indicator that an actor’s time on a TV series or soap has come to an end, though it’s important to note that this isn’t always the case.
‘Always makes me nervous when you see new snaps … usually means your leaving please no!!!,’ wrote one concerned fan in the comments, while another added: ‘oh no – new headshots etc means your leaving emmerdale’.
Is Joe set to die in chilling scenes?
