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.
