After six long years, Joe Tate has finally returned to Emmerdale, and he's not here for a friendly reunion. No, Joe is back with a vengeance, determined to make Kim pay for all the pain she has caused him. And with his cunning mind, he has concocted a revenge plot that could only come from someone like him.
Fans were ecstatic when Emmerdale announced Joe's return on Christmas Eve, with his first episode airing tonight. We can't wait to see what he has in store for Kim. Actor Ned Porteous, who plays Joe, shared his excitement for his character's comeback, saying, "I'm so thrilled to be back on Emmerdale. There's a lot of unfinished business for Joe, and it feels like the perfect time for him to make his return."
But this time, Joe is not just seeking revenge for himself. There could be something much bigger at play here, and the devastation at Home Farm is only the beginning. It's safe to say that viewers can expect some explosive drama this holiday season.
For those who need a refresher on Joe's story before his return, let me take you on a trip down memory lane. Joe is the son of Christopher Tate and Rachel Hughes, making him Kim's step-grandson. He first appeared on the show as a child in the 90s and was raised by Zoe Tate after his parents' tragic death.
Joe's desire for revenge against Kim stems from his belief that she played a role in his father's death. He made a dramatic comeback in 2017, disguised as Tom Waterhouse, and seduced Debbie as part of his twisted plan. But things took an unexpected turn when he fell in love with her, and the two embarked on a passionate relationship.
Joe also managed to take over Home Farm from the Whites, and he and Debbie moved in together. But little did they know that Kim was also making her return, and she was determined to get her hands on Home Farm at any cost. She even ordered her loyal henchman Graham Foster to kill Joe.
In a shocking turn of events, Joe was seemingly killed by Cain during a heated confrontation, and Graham disposed of the body. But in a surprising twist, it was revealed that Joe was still alive and had been living abroad all this time.
And now, after six years, Joe is back, and Kim has no idea. He has been biding his time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and bring Kim down. But will he succeed in his mission, or will Kim prove to be a formidable opponent?
