ITV Emmerdale’s Nate ‘actually dead’ as fans ‘work out’ who’s pretending to be him

Fans of Emmerdale are certain that they have figured out what happened to Nate Robinson by having a shock villager pose as him.

Fans of Emmerdale are certain that Nate Robinson has met a terrible death and believe a surprise inhabitant may be posing as him.

When we last saw Nate (Jurell Carter), he was involved in a tumultuous relationship with his father, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), following his false accusation of making out with his stepmother Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb). This perplexing situation was sparked by Moira’s health issues, which subsequently revealed to be a brain tumour.

Prior to this mess, Nate had secured a position in Scotland, which coincided with actor Jurell Carter leaving the ITV series. His persona informed his spouse Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh) of his planned leave, and she arranged for her and their daughter Frankie to accompany him.

However, the aftermath from the misinterpreted “kiss” led Tracy to doubt Nates faithfulness, and she eventually demanded that he leave. Over the next few days, nobody knew exactly where Nate was, and everyone was frantically trying to figure him out.

Tracy had a dramatic emotional shift after learning that Nate and Moira were not in a lip-lock and that she had rejected him due to a “false”hood. Leeds Live claims that Tracy received a heartbreaking message on Monday’s program, which was shown on September 16, about Nate sparking a plethora of fan ideas.

As Nate confirmed his presence in Scotland by text message in the episode, Tracy was met with the message, “Settled in.” Her reaction to the statement “Heads a mess, don’t call me; I’ll call you when I’m ready” was intense.

Fans of Emmerdale are certain that Nate is dead and that someone else is impersonating him on his phone. While some believe Oliver Farnworth’s mysterious character John Sugden is connected to Nate’s disappearance, others surmise a different perpetrator.

Viewers have speculated on the involvement of the evil Tom King, played by James Chase, who has been torturing his wife Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), in online forums.

One commenter conjectured on a Facebook fan group for Emmerdale, saying, “Come on now, someone has Nate’s phone and texting Tracy so I really feel that he is dead.” Another person echoed these thoughts when they said, “Don’t think it was Nate….someone got his phone.”

“It’s not Nate texting her, I think it’s Tom,” a third person added to their opinion. An further admirer said, “Tom’s done something to Nate!!” A fifth, in the meantime, commented: “It seems odd that he’s texting, saying don’t text him, he will call Tracy first. Tom is such a horrible character that you could be onto something here.”

“Yeah, don’t think Nate delivered that message,” another said, adding to the hypothesis even more. Meanwhile, a third viewer voiced dissatisfaction in Nate’s departure, saying, “Nate’s character wasn’t the most impactful, but what a sh**e exit! I hope that John or Tom murdered him and texted Tracy.
