Emmerdale fans are desperate for Joe Tate to return after he was mentioned on screen last night.
Some have even suggested he could be working with step-uncle Jamie Tate, helping him fake his own death.
Is Joe Tate coming back to Emmerdale?

Joe Tate has been on the run from step-gran Kim since she ordered him dead in 2018.
As far as we know he’s alive and well and hiding out somewhere sunny, but given what we know about him as a person, we don’t expect revenge is ever far from his mind.
After Kim received flowers following Jamie’s ‘death’ in Thursday night’s episode (September 30 2021), she noticed the card was signed from ‘J’. She insisted they must be from Jamie, but Will gently suggested it could be someone else with the same initial.
Kim then became sure it was Joe Tate, sending them to cruelly taunt her over the loss of her son.
At the mere mention of his name, viewers demanded his return to the show.
Please let it be Joe Tate Bring him back!!!! Let Debbie Finally get her happy ending #Emmerdale

Emmerdale: Are Joe and Jamie working together?
After discovering the vets’ bank account had been cleared out, Kim determined that and the flowers were the work of Jamie and all mention of Joe was dropped.
But what if it’s an elaborate plan to bring Kim down? Could Joe and Jamie, neither Kim’s biggest fans, be working together to bring her down?
It’s highly possible, Joe has helped Jamie fake his own death, as he has experience in that field!
Or could Jamie actually be dead, and Joe is posing as him to make Kim think she’s going crazy?
Viewers definitely think the pair have teamed up…
Joe and Jamie teaming up (and possibly graham) #emmerdale

Welcome back, Joe Tate 👀. So Joe helps Jamie disappear and Jamie cleans out the vets account to pay him for it.
🙏👏👏👏

The last we heard of Joe, he was hiding from Kim abroad.
He had fled to Monte Carlo after Kim ordered his death, but when her henchman tried to catch him there, it was discovered he had moved on.
Is Joe back in the country? Or even back in the Dales, biding his time to exact his revenge?
