Emmerdale character to 'return from the DEAD' after shock 'murder'
He was 'killed off' weeks ago
Author: Emma DoddsPublished 30th Oct 2018 Last updated 30th Oct 2018
Emmerdale fans were left absolutely baffled after Joe Tate was apparently killed off three weeks ago. After he left Debbie Dingle at the altar following a tip-off from associate Graham Foster that Kim Tate wanted him dead, Debbie's dad Cain Dingle sought out Joe, punching him to the ground for ditching his daughter - and later feared he'd murdered him.
However, it turned out that Graham had been the one Kim had hired to bump off Joe - and after witnessing what happened with Cain, Graham bundled Joe's body into his boot. But eagle-eyed fans spotted Joe's fingers twitch before the boot was shut completely.
But according to OK! magazine, Debbie is set to hear from Joe 'beyond the grave' - although she has no idea that he's potentially dead.
She's been left struggling after thinking that Joe had run off, especially as her daughter Sarah has been recovering from heart surgery. She finds comfort in her dad Cain, completely unaware that he thinks he killed him, and later finds her mum Charity.

Frank Fosters' suspicions over Clive grow when he overhears him on the phone. Leyla Harding is shocked and heartbroken when Frank reveals how he knows Clive and who he is.. How will she react?
Whilst with her, she shockingly then receives a text from Joe which simply reads, 'I'm sorry'. Does this mean that Joe is alive, and has really made contact with Debbie? Or does it mean that Joe really is dead, and someone has got in touch with Debbie pretending to be him?
Fans of the show are pretty sure that Joe is still alive after spotted his fingers moving in the boot of the car, and took to Twitter to share their views.
One wrote, 'I think Joe is alive and Christmas or New Year he will reappear,' as another added, 'Joe will come back I reckon... he was alive when Graham put him in the boot!' and another wrote, 'I really don’t think Joe is DEAD, I've got a feeling he is still alive, just got that gut feeling.'
Emmerdale continues tonight on ITV at 7pm.
