Emmerdale fans are rallying for Joe Tate’s return as actor Ned Porteous shares a fun update on social media, sparking excitement and concern.
London: Emmerdale fans were buzzing on Wednesday after Ned Porteous, who plays Joe Tate, posted a cheeky update on Instagram. He shared a mirror selfie with a fun caption that got everyone talking.
His followers, all 103K of them, quickly jumped into the comments, urging him to stick around on the show. They’re really hoping he won’t be leaving anytime soon after his dramatic return.
One fan expressed their excitement, saying they were thrilled to watch Emmerdale again but worried he might not be around for long. Others chimed in, pleading with him not to meet a tragic end in the show.
Ned, who’s 30, made his comeback last month after a six-year break, and his return has left characters like Kim Tate, played by Claire King, in shock.
He first appeared in the village back in 2017 as Joe, the son of Christopher Tate and Rachel Hughes. But things took a wild turn in 2018 when he had to flee after Kim ordered his death.
Initially, it looked like he was killed by Cain Dingle during a fight, but it turned out Joe was alive and hiding abroad, living off Kim’s business funds.
Now, Joe is back, but he’s got some serious health issues, which has fans worried he might be in danger again. He’s been seen having seizures and taking medication, leading to speculation about his fate.
Fans are eager to see how this all plays out, especially since Joe is trying to reconnect with his half-brother Noah Dingle. Is he really in trouble, or is there more to his story?
Emmerdale airs every weekday at 7:30 PM on ITV1, and you can catch it on ITVX and STV Player too. If you’re a soap fan, don’t miss out on the latest buzz!
