Emmerdale villain gets pushed out of window in dramatic scenes - but who shoved him and will he survive?
Emmerdale villain Joe Tate was pushed out of a window in a vengeful act in Thursday's episode.
In dramatic scenes, the character, played by Ned Porteous, was found in a heap outside after seemingly being shoved from the first floor during a surprise party.
Joe has been at the centre of a series of significant storylines during his on-and-off run on the soap.
He left the Yorkshire village in 2005 after 10 years before returning in 2017, but a year later he was seemingly murdered by nemesis Cain Dingle in a chaotic climax.
To viewers' shock, he made a second comeback at Christmas but has since been racking up the enemies, attacking two Dingles in a bid to get a kidney amid his dialysis treatment, while also having an affair with Dawn Fletcher.
His behaviour appears to have come back to bite him in Thursday's episode as chaos unfolded at a birthday do for Lydia Dingle leaving Joe fighting for his life.

And fans have gone wild with speculation as to who committed the act against Emmerdale's most hated character.
'A part of me is thinking Kerry or Noah but I could be completely wrong.'
'Really enjoyed tonight's episode. True whodunnit set up, nicely done with a nod to the past (Tom King's window). #Emmerdale'
'I'm calling it It was Clemmie #Emmerdale'
'Was he trying to clean the windows and slipped?'
'I think I'm calling Lucas atm tbh'
'Emmerdale! I think it's Dawn or maybe even Clemmie but she's little so I'm not sure how.'
'I'm calling it out now, it's Clemmie !'
'There'll be a queue round the block of potential pushers of Joe'
'What have you done Clemmie Reed'
'My money is on Clemmie.'
'He was dizzy from the spiked drink and fell himself'
Oliver Young first portrayed the figure in the Yorkshire village from 1995 until 2005 when he left the area with Zoe Tate and her daughter Jean.
Ned reprised the character in 2017 but Joe was then believed to have been murdered by Cain in 2018, making his return to the role at Christmas six years later all the more shocking.
He's been racking up the enemies ever since, attempting to take half-brother Noah Dingle's kidney amid his dialysis treatment, before turning to Caleb as his next victim, even more sinister given he is a member of his family.
The villain then disappeared before telling his victim over the phone: 'It's a work trip. Illinois this time of year is all just wind and rain.'
After Caleb asked him how he is feeling, Joe added: 'Yeah, late night. How are they treating you?'
From his hospital bed, Caleb said: 'Doctors are giving me a load of meds. I feel like a right druggie.'
Discussing a police investigation into the attack, he added: 'They found the car; they're dusting it for prints.
'I want to talk to you when you get back though.'
In a bid to throw Caleb off the scent, Joe said: 'Sure! I'm not sure how much help I can be. When I got there, whoever did that to you had gone... I've got to go for a meeting, but you take care of yourself, okay?'
It turned out Dr Crowley was in the room with Joe for the call and the assailant justified his contact with his victim, saying: 'I think it would be odd to not check up on Caleb.'
The doctor responded: 'He's not your problem anymore. Shaun's been released this morning pending an investigation and now we're flying him to Thailand as requested. It's not cheap.'
Joe said, 'Money well spent. And my car?', to which Dr Crowley replied, 'Discreetly delivered back to Home Farm.'
After hearing Joe's plan to flee for god, the doctor said: 'You've just had your op. You shouldn't be travelling and not without trained medical staff.'
But the iconic character was hellbent on leaving the area, adding: 'I'm aware of the risks. I can't stay here. I've got medics waiting for me when I arrive in Dubai. Time to move on.'
A car was then shown driving Joe away from the village in what seemed to be the villain's final exit from the soap.
But of course it was not the end for the pivotal character and Joe then had an affair with Dawn and even blackmailed her daughter, Clemmie.

Moment killer pulls out samurai sword and calls it sexy before going on to hack schoolboy, 14, to death
This is the horrifying moment a killer pulled out a samurai sword and called it sexy before hacking a schoolboy to death, a court has heard. Amateur musician and 'mystic' Marcus Monzo, 37, killed Daniel Anjorin, 14, who was walking to school in Hainault, east London on April 30 last year. Before the brutal attack he filmed himself unboxing the weapon and calling it 'ninja stuff'. Monzo is also accused of the attempted murders of female police officer PC Yasim Mechem-Whitfield, 35-year-old IT engineer Henry De Los Rios Polina, Sindy Arias and Donato Iwule, who was hit by his van. In the chilling clip Monzo, dressed in a yellow hoodie and black shorts, showed himself pulling out one of the homemade Katana swords. As he pulled it from a long cardboard box he old the camera: 'This is ninja stuff so I'm sort of obliged to do some ninja stuff with the Wizard', gesturing to his ginger cat which was later found skinned and deboned. He then pretended to swing the sword around while exclaiming before saying he wanted to sink his teeth in to the 'real leather' handle. The killer added: 'It's just a kitten - that's why well, I'm rushing in but how can I not rush in- look at this. 'This is handmade in Japan - took more than a month to reach me. F**k.' He began to dance with the sword as he made moaning noises. The court heard that Monzo had spent almost £500 on two handmade Japanese swords before he carried out the visious attack last year. Reading agreed facts to the jury, prosecutor Catherine Pattison said that Monzo, who worked as a 'man with a van' via an online company called Taskrabbit, made a purchase from a company in the name of Marcus Monzo via Paypal for £927 to be delivered to Satanita Close on December 28, 2023. She added: 'The purchase was for three homemade Katana swords. The order was cancelled and refunded. 'On 21 February 2024 Marcus Monzo made a second order of £427.80 to be delivered to Satanita Close for two handmade Katana swords. 'The items were not in stock but were shipped at the beginning of April 2024 using parcel force. 'On 4 April 2024 a video showed Monzo unboxing a large curved sword.' Last year Monzo drove into Donato Iwule in his van before attacking him with the sword. After killing Daniel he went into the home of Sindy Arias and Henry De Los Rios Polina and attacked them next to their four-year-old. He also attacked police officers PC Yasim Mechem-Whitfield and Inspector Moloy Campbell. Jurors also heard Monzo had told customers his hobbies were yoga and martial arts, that he was born in Brazil but went backpacking in India and had a 'spiritual experience' which opened his eyes. He told a woman who had hired his van that he was a fan of Elon Musk because he had allowed the truth to come out. He said the earth is flat, 9/11 was a conspiracy and that we all live under a dome controlled by 'evil lizard type aliens', 'the pope is the most evil person on the planet' and we are 'all little ants being' controlled. James Roach, part owner of a martial arts club called Fightzone in Hackney, said in a statement that Monzo had attended from 2014 to 2016 achieving a blue belt in Brazilian ju jitsu. He returned in 2023 training in boxing but left suddenly. Giving evidence the collision victim Mr Iwule said he was on the way to work walking from Hainault underground station to the Co-op where he worked in security. He said he saw the van about 10 seconds before it hit him and he noticed the speed it was travelling at. 'I realised it was coming towards me,' he said. 'I tried to go to my left or right and see what's behind me to see if I can go to safe place. I tried to go in to someone's garden.' Mr Iwule said the van collided with his knee, face and shoulder. He said he was thrown onto the grass in the garden and his glasses were knocked off his face. 'I thought I was dying,' he said. Mr Iwule said he was able to get to his feet 'when I realised my body was still functioning mentally and physically.' He said he went towards the van to check if the driver was okay. 'He took a Samurai sword. My face and body was still in shock. There was a sheath or cover over the sword. I think he put it on the floor.' He said Monzo was using one hand to hold the sword. 'I said 'I don't know you', he said 'I don't care, I'm going to kill you.' 'I think I fell because I lost my balance and I stood up again. 'He was swinging at me. He came towards me. I looked to see where I could get out to because I was cornered.' He said Monzo swung the knife at him and cut his neck. He said he missed the whole blade because he moved his head back when he saw the sword in the coroner of his eye but the tip hit his neck. 'I literally escaped the whole blade by that much - but the tip hit me. 'I was in shock straight away because I see blood coming out of my neck. The first thing I did was first aid, I pressed my palm so not to bleed out. 'I looked at his face and he was smiling - it seemed like something he was happy about.' He said he jumped the fence and Monzo followed him before giving up as he reached the road. He saw Daniel walking down the road and shouted at him 'go back in'. He then saw Daniel on the floor and Monzo attacking the ambulance which was trying to help him. Monzo, of West Beckton, east London, denies murder and four counts of attempted murder. He also denies aggravated burglary by entering a home in Laing Close with a Katana samurai sword with intent to cause grievous bodily harm to the residents. He also denies wounding with intent while trying to resist his lawful apprehension and having an article with a blade or point, namely a kitchen knife. The trial continues.

M&S is back! Here are 12 of the season's best pieces to shop online
M&S is finally back after a cyber-attack forced the retailer to pause all online orders – losing an estimated £25m a week. It's not completely back to normal: click and collect is not available, many items are out of stock while the lines are gradually added, and online delivery is not yet back up and running in Northern Ireland. But as of today, many fashion ranges are available again in England, Scotland and Wales. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. So to celebrate M&S's online return – and show the beloved British brand a bit of support – we've rounded up your favourite pieces from our fashion experts' picks over the past few months. From versatile holiday dresses to stylish yet comfortable men's pyjamas, we're glad to have them back. Polka dot sweetheart neckline maxidress £79 at M&S 'Marks & Spencer has gone big on the polka dot this season,' said fashion editor Jess Cartner-Morley in her column on spots and stripes. This maxidress would be lovely for holiday dinners out and wouldn't look amiss at a wedding. It also comes in petite, regular or tall. Cartner-Morley suggests wearing it with 'flats instead of wedges, and a slicked-back bun rather than barrel curls, to keep it modern'. For more, check out spots or stripes? The good news is you no longer have to choose Men's pure linen shirt £45 at M&S For formal occasions during the hotter summer months, linen will be your best friend thanks to its breathable qualities. 'It will even look good without being ironed or steamed (as long as it's not too crumpled),' says stylist and menswear expert Peter Bevan, who cherrypicked this M&S shirt as one of his 50 men's summer wardrobe updates under £100. It comes in 14 different colours, and can be bought in regular or slim fit (Peter recommends sizing up for a more expensive-looking finish). Knitted round neck midi dress £39.50 at M&S Still looking for that perfect holiday dress that can seamlessly go from beach to restaurant? Look no further. 'The hero piece of this season is the main-character-energy beach dress. This is a dress that complements your swimwear, rather than concealing it,' says Cartner-Morley.

M&S's take on the timeless style is infinitely wearable and the perfect antidote to chillier summer evenings. 'You could pair it with jeans and metallic ballet pumps for a relaxed, but smart look. But I'd also wear it with wide-leg linen trousers and slingbacks for garden parties,' says styling editor Melanie Wilkinson.

Pure cotton striped boxers £30 for five at M&S Another hot tip from Bevan's summer wardrobe updates for men is to channel Paul Mescal's love for short shorts and wear oversized boxers as outerwear. 'I'd suggest sizing up for a roomier fit – and don't forget to wear your underwear beneath to avoid any embarrassing mishaps,' he says.

Police treating death of young man missing for month as unexplained
The death of a young man who went missing more than a month ago is being treated as unexplained, police have said. Police Scotland said extensive inquiries are being carried out following the discovery of a body in the search for Cole Cooper, 19. He was reported missing on May 9 having last been seen in Longcroft, near Falkirk, by a witness on May 7. A body was found at about 4.15pm on Friday June 6 in a wooded area near Kilsyth Road in Banknock, Falkirk, following a major search. Formal identification is yet to take place, however, Mr Cooper's family have been informed and police said dedicated officers continue to support them. Mr Cooper was last spotted on CCTV on Sunday May 4 in Longcroft and officers revisited the scene on June 8 and spoke to more than 150 people. Police said that establishing Mr Cooper's movements between Sunday May 4 and Wednesday May 7 is a priority for officers. Chief Inspector Alex Hatrick said: 'Cole Cooper's disappearance and the circumstances leading up to it remain unexplained. 'We remain in regular contact with the family to ensure they are kept up to date with all aspects of the investigation. 'We will continue to support them and provide them with updates as our inquiries progress. 'Extensive inquiries are ongoing to piece together Cole's last movements and find answers for his loved ones. 'Anyone with any information, no matter how small it may seem, is urged to speak to police if they have not already done so.' Mr Cooper was last seen by family on either May 2 or 3 and he appeared on CCTV at about 6am on May 4 in Longcroft, where he tried but failed to access his father's home. He was last seen at about 8.45pm on May 7 on the A803 near Cumbernauld Road in Longcroft, when he asked a school friend for a lift, which he was not given. Police are appealing for CCTV from the wider Banknock area, particularly close to the A803 Kilsyth Road. Officers are examining more than 2,000 hours of CCTV footage and are continuing door-to-door inquiries in Longcroft and Banknock. In a statement posted on the Missing Person Cole Cooper group on social media, his family said they were 'completely broken'. They said: 'With shattered hearts, we share the devastating news that our beloved Cole, who was missing, has been found – but not in the way we hoped or prayed for. 'Our worst fears have become reality, and we are now living a nightmare we can't wake up from.' The statement added: 'Cole, you were our world – and now our world will never be the same. 'Your life was only just beginning. The world didn't get to know the light you carried, but we did – and we will carry it with us, always.' The family said they have been left with unanswered questions and thanked all those who have supported them. Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting incident number 828 of Friday May 9 2025.
