The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived - Joe Tate is back in Emmerdale after a six-year absence. And let me tell you, it's quite the comeback. In Monday's episode, which is now available to watch on ITVX, we see Joe making his grand return at 7:30pm on ITV1.
Fans have been speculating about Joe's return for a while now, and it turns out their predictions were spot on. The suave businessman is back and he's on a mission - to take down his former enemy, Kim Tate. We all remember when Kim made her own epic comeback in 2018, after being released from prison. She returned right in the middle of Joe's reign at Home Farm, determined to reclaim the Tate legacy. But Joe wasn't going down without a fight.
In a showdown with Cain Dingle, who punched him in the face while defending Debbie's honor, Joe's fate was left ambiguous. And then, Graham Foster, Kim's right hand man, seemingly got rid of Joe's body. But as we later found out, Joe was actually alive and well, living abroad and keeping a low profile to avoid Kim's wrath.
Fast forward six years and it's clear that Joe is back and ready to take Kim down. In a scene that aired on Christmas Eve, we see financial advisor Peter speaking to the person in charge of Operation Destroy Kim Tate. Meanwhile, Will Taylor, who was initially on board with the plot to ruin his wife, has a change of heart after Kim ends up in the hospital due to a horse riding incident. He sends Peter an email, calling off the whole plan. But little does he know, the person behind it all is none other than Joe himself.
And he's not holding back. In his signature smooth and calculated tone, Joe declares that it's time for a family reunion and what better time than Christmas? Kim better watch out because Joe is back and he's out for revenge.
Actor Ned Porteous, who plays Joe, shared his excitement about returning to the show and hinted at some unfinished business for his character. And producer Laura Shaw teased that Joe's comeback will bring some major drama to the village.
