Emmerdale fans spot huge clue which ‘reveals’ who really killed Nate after body discovered in icy limo crash
EMMERDALE fans spot have spotted a huge clue which ‘reveals’ who really killed Nate Robinson.
ITV soap fans were left open-mouthed earlier this week when it was confirmed there was another body left in the bottom of the icy lake after the horrifying limo smash.
The arm of the body was wearing a bracelet identical to that of Nate Robinson’s that was made for him by daughter Frankie.
Last night viewers saw the body at the bottom of the lake wrapped in a tarpaulin and weighed down with chains.
Eagle-eyed fans are convinced there John Sugden murdered Nate after they spotted a very similar-looking tarpaulin used when he disposed of Anthony Fox’s body.
One viewer wrote: “Okay anyone thinking John had something to do with Nate? That tarp wrapping has got me thinking. Might have to go back and watch to see if I can spot the connection.”
A second pointed to this theory: “Nate was telling Mac to lay off and give him.a chance etc. Nate left when Moira trapped Ruby in the barn. Before those scenes that was the last we ever saw of Nate, because I remember thinking Nate was going to be found injured somewhere. Now hes been murdered and wrapped up and weighted down.”
This viewer said: “John was and he was the one who said Nate had left without saying goodbye. Hope we don’t just leave Nate there now.”
A fourth said: “Oh it’s going to get very interesting isn’t it. I mean John knew what to do with Anthony and I can’t remember if he used tarpe to cover him but I think the clues will be in how he dealt with Anthony.”
“It was John he’s not who he says he is and is a serial killer,” this viewer predicted.
Someone else suggested: “John is not actually John he killed the real John and is impersonating him.”
While another echoed: “I think John has a dark side to him and he’s a serial killer.”
During one shocking scene, viewers saw Amy Wyatt plunge through the ice as she attempted to move from the limo to safety.
Her body shot down into the icy waters as the lake above began to re-solidify meaning she was trapped.
In a spine-chilling moment, as Amy turned in the water she clapped eyes on a dead body below the water.
The arm of the body was wearing a very similar bracelet that daughter Frankie gave him.
Later in the episode, having been rescued by Tracy, Amy could be seen staring at Tracy’s matching bracelet but unable to speak from the cold, she was left trapped with her thoughts.
With speculation mounting that Nate has been secretly murdered and his body plunged into the lake, the star who played him, Jurell Carter, has now added even more fuel to the fire.
In the wake of the episodes, Jurell took to Instagram to share a shirtless snap and accompanied it with a very cryptic quote.
The actor made reference to his “weird job” before adding the Italian pinched hands emoji after all eyes were on his character’s arm and bracelet.
Jurell’s caption read: “A weird job but I wouldn’t have it any other way [pinched hands emoji].”
Nate hasn’t been seen in the Dales since September last year, with his sudden and swift exit never quite sitting right with fans.
Since leaving the village, supposedly for Shetland, he has had little to no contact with his loved ones, only sending text messages.
He was last seen speaking to John Sugden, after being falsely accused of sleeping with Cain Dingle’s wife, Moira.
With the true fallout from the limo smash set to be uncovered later this week – only time will tell if the body really is Nate and questions are sure to be raised about just how his body ended up there.
So far, two deaths have been confirmed: Suzy died almost instantly, as well as another victim of the limo crash en route to hospital.
Biggest soap stunts
Soaps are no stranger to dramatic stunts in the storylines. Not only do these moments create a spectacle for viewers, they also fundamentally change characters’ lives.
Here is a look at some of the biggest soap stunts from over the years.
CORONATION STREET
- Tram crash (2010): The ITV soap marked its 50th anniversary with a intense tram crash – and live episode to boot. Overall, the crash and its effects were broadcast across a week in December 2010. Its resulting chaos saw regular characters Ashley Peacock (Steven Arnold) and Molly Dobbs (Vicky Binns) die.
- Richard Hillman tries to kill the Platts (2003): Of all the men unlucky-in-love Gail tied the knot with, Richard Hillman (Brian Capron) is probably the one she regrets most in hindsight. In 2003, murderer Richard tried to kill his step-family: first by gassing them with car fumes and then driving Gail (Helen Worth), Sarah (Tina O’Brien), David (Jack P. Shepherd) and Bethany (Amy and Emily Walton) into a canal.
EASTENDERS
- Queen Vic fire (2010): In September 2010, EastEnders bid farewell to matriarch Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor) as a permanent fixture on the soap – she returned as a guest before the character’s death in 2016. In the build-up to her initial exit, Peggy had trapped crack cocaine-addicted son Phil (Steve McFadden) in the Queen Vic. However, he escaped and set the boozer on fire.
- Bus crash (2017): In April 2017, a total of 11 Albert Square residents had their lives at risk in a terrifying bus crash. The stunt saw a double decker bus – the 764 to Barking – lose control and crash through the Albert Square market before hitting a low-level bridge. Notable passengers at the time included Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper).
EMMERDALE
- James Barton’s death (2016): Interestingly about James’ (Bill Ward) death was that it came in a spiral of events. After wife Emma (Gillian Kearney) locked James up in a jealous rage, he escaped and they tussled on a bridge over the bypass. Emma pushed him and James fell into traffic, in turn causing a 12-vehicle pile up, As well as James dying, key characters including Ashley Thomas (John Middleton) and Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) were injured.
