Emmerdale's Ned Porteous drops huge clue about Joe Tate's fate in deadly whodunnit
There's deadly scenes ahead for Joe Tate on Emmerdale, and actor Ned Porteous has spilled all on the revenge aimed at his villainous character.
Details are being kept under wraps on the specifics, but there's unmissable episodes set to air this week. With Joe creating a number of enemies and his cruel actions and sick lies finally out in the open, it's only a matter of time before one of those people he's wronged takes a brutal revenge on him.
With soap boss Laura Shaw teasing "brilliant" twists and turns and likening the plot to a past stunt on the show, it's safe to say fans won't be disappointed. But does the brutal twist lead to the death and final comeuppance of villain Joe?
He's stolen his own uncle's kidney in a stabbing set-up, embarked on an affair with a married woman and even drugged his brother Noah Dingle, leading to a deadly car crash that claimed the lives of three village residents. He gets a taste of his own medicine though and it could prove fatal.
Teasing his future on the show, Joe actor Ned dropped some huge hints about the baddie's fate and what could lie ahead if he survives. Teasing Joe could retaliate against his attacker in his own plan of payback, Ned suggested it might not be all over just yet.
Ned spilled to The Mirror and other press: "Somebody's always got it in for Joe, he doesn't have the easiest life. But then he kind of asks for it, I suppose.
"I think there's a more tactful way to go around doing what he has to do. He's put in quite tricky positions and you have to find a reason for motivating your character for what he's doing."
On whether the attack will lead to Joe taking revenge if he survives the ordeal, Ned said: "I'm sure he will. There will be some sort of vengeance. It's not a nice thing to be pushed out of a window so I'm sure he's quite miffed about that."
With this teasing a survival for the character amid death fears from fans, he also addressed whether there was any redemption for Joe. He said: "Oh god! I'm not sure there's too much charm and charisma you can give someone to get them to forgive you for all that. I'd like to think so."
Ned had no idea the deadly whodunnit was coming when he returned to the ITV soap in a major Christmas twist in December. While he knew about Joe's grim actions including the organ theft and other twists, bosses kept back the fact he could be leaving very soon.
He explained: "This particular storyline I didn't know much about, it wasn't part of the overriding arc when I came back to the show. There will be a similar hijink-type storyline around the corner that keeps it interesting and fresh. Or hopefully anyway."
Once he knew the truth and found out who the culprit was, actor Ned found it very difficult to keep quiet. He confessed: "It was really, really hard. We filmed all of this two months ago and during that time we've been trying to create the whole tree of new interesting storylines and possible 'whodunnits'.
"It's always a game of 'What do people know? What are we allowed to say?' and I'm really bad with that. When you've managed to p**s off everyone in the village it makes for a very interesting 'whodunnit' storyline."

Emmerdale fans 'work out' who gets framed for Mack's 'death' in sick revenge
Emmerdale viewers fear a character is going to be set up for the reported murder of Mackenzie Boyd amid claims the character will bow out of the ITV soap at the hands of John Sugden With a murder said to be looming on Emmerdale, fans believe a character could be framed for the horrific crime in a sickening revenge twist. Reports have emerged that John Sugden is about to claim his next and possibly final victim, and now fans think someone else will be blamed. John has so far gotten away with murdering Nate Robinson, injuring Aidan Moore and orchestrating a string of other incidents to play the hero. Now it's claimed Mackenzie Boyd will be killed off in a brutal new twist. It comes as reports stated actor Lawrence Robb was bowing out of the ITV soap after five years, as part of a twist involving killer John. According to the rumours, Mack will rumble John's crimes and it will lead to Mack's gruesome death. But will it be poor Robert Sugden left to face punishment for the crime amid his feud with his villainous brother John? John has made it abundantly clear he wants Robert out of the way, deliberately targeting him and this is only set to continue. Amid spoilers revealing Robert and ex Aaron Dingle grow closer, sparking affair predictions, we will see Aaron's husband John desperate to keep the pair apart. So how far will he go to get rid of his brother, and could it see Robert sent back to prison? Robert was released earlier this year after six years inside over the death of Lee Posner. Fans are now concerned that if Mack is killed off, John will cover his tracks and pin it all on Robert to get him locked up yet again. One fan posted on social media: "John better not frame Robert for Mack's murder." Another viewer said: "He'll probably frame Robert and Aaron carries on being blind until next spring." It comes as actor Lawrence addressed the rumoured exit for the first time on Loose Women on Wednesday. He said: "There are lots of rumours, and rumours they shall remain", before adding: "I've always said that being in the show that I never want to be too prescriptive with it. " But when asked how he would feel about being killed off, he admitted that he would always feel grateful for the time he's had on the show, as he issued a warning to fans. He said: "I've always enjoyed doing what I'm doing. If, and when, the time to leave comes, whether that would be my choice or the choice of the producers, then I will be thankful for the time that I've had. Ultimately, no one is safe in the show", before quipping: "Especially not in that village!" On the future for Mack amid a row with his wife Charity Dingle and the stuff with John, Lawrence recently remained coy but did hint at bad things ahead. He simply said: "It's not looking good." Lawrence went on: "Whilst Mackenzie has got the argument with Charity on his plate, he's also got a pretty critical moment with John on his plate as well. And, combine these two things and it does not spell good things."

Princess Andre's 'dark' world as Katie Price's ex Kieran Hayler issues grovelling statement
Katie Price's marriage to her third husband was marred by toxicity, persistent infidelity and a 'Mucky Mansion' - now Princess Andre has spoken of her childhood pain Princess Andre has a new reality show and The Princess Diaries is already giving us plenty of insight into her relationship with mum Katie Price. One of the big takeaways from the the ITV show is that the 18-year-old influencer's admission that Katie's troubled past had led her to experience things 'kids shouldn't see'. "I wish I could have had a happier childhood," she said. "I had so much on my plate at such a young age and had things at the back of my mind." Princess, who is the daughter of Katie's first husband Peter Andre, was 10 when her mum split from third husband Kieran Hayler after five years together. "Mum was heartbroken and she went through a dark time and it was things kids shouldn't see and when we needed our mum there, she wasn't there because she had her own problems," the teenager said on the show. "I'm not healed or fully recovered from it but mum has fixed herself compared to how she was back then." Katie, 47, and Kieran married in Weston-Super-Mare in 2013 and went onto have two children together, Jett and Bunny. They renewed their vows in Barbados in 2016 on what was said to be a make or break holiday, with Kieran cheating on Katie multiple times throughout the course of their relationship. One of Kieran's mistresses was Jane Pountney, Katie's friend of 20 years and he cheated on her with a second pal, Chrissy Thomas. The vow renewal didn't work - in 2017 the former glamour model found out Kieran had been unfaithful once more with their children's nanny, Nikki Brown and the following year they went their separate ways. "He did a lot of stuff and when they split up everything kind of went downhill," said Princess. "My mum, obviously being heartbroken, didn't deal with that the best way. She went through a very, very like dark time, which is understandable." Katie later opened up about her 'toxic' marriage to Kieran, blaming him for the 'disgusting' state of her home and her depression, which saw her want to stay sleep all day. The 38-year-old reality star told the Daily Mail this week he would love to apologise in person to Princess for the impact his troubled relationship with Katie had on her. "I am as sorry as I can be to Princess witnessing us go through such a horrible separation," he said. "Leaving them was one of the hardest things I ever had to do." But Kieran, who revealed he longer has a relationship with his former step-children, also told the publication he had been the best step dad he could be. "I regret the way things happened but at the same time those are issues I never put around the children, they were put around the children by everything becoming so public," he said. Kieran moved on with Michelle Penticost and they had son Apollo before they split earlier this year. In 2019, Michelle secured a restraining order against Katie for harassing her.
