There could be a tragic d.e.a.t.h looming on Emmerdale thanks to Joe Tate’s latest comment about his uncle Caleb Miligan.
After Monday night’s episode showed the character revealing his plans to steal a kidney from a blood relative, Tuesday confirmed his target. We saw Joe setting up Manpreet Sharma clearly needing her for his big plan, while pretending to help her.
Joe and Dr Crowley were revealed to be behind her shocking blackmail ordeal, with Joe claiming to be a friend in need. Manpreet was grateful when he offered to pay off the harasser and didn’t want anything for it, with her unaware of course that he was the one the blame.
She fell right into his trap but was left concerned when Joe fed her a story about his illness and his family history. He claimed he’d inherited a genetic disorder from his late grandfather Frank Tate and it was causing him serious health issues.
Joe then feigned concern for his uncle Caleb, suggesting as Frank’s son he too could have the condition. He told Manpreet he didn’t know how to approach Caleb with the news and didn’t want to admit his diagnosis, not wanting to look “weak”.

It’s then that he hinted to doctor Manpreet that all he needed was a blood sample from Caleb to test to see if he had the condition. Manpreet was horrified as he admitted it would need to be discreet and Caleb could not know the truth.
With Manpreet unsure what to say or do, something Joe told Dr Crowley left Caleb’s fate sealed. We know thanks to a flashforward clip from December that at some point this year, Caleb faces d.e.a.t.h.
In the clip he was show unconscious and flatlining in hospital while he seems to be undergoing an operation. Caleb is on a ventilator and suddenly his heart stops.
Viewers are now convinced this is tied into the plot with Joe, and Joe’s plans to steal his uncle’s kidneys if he’s a match. Fans think that Joe will lead to Caleb being on the operating table and that Caleb will sadly d.i.e in the twist.

Taking to social media, fans guessed Joe’s actions would lead to the end of Caleb after spoilers for next week teased he wouldn’t return home after an errand. One fan posted: “He’s going to k.i.l.l him for his kidneys.”
Another viewer said: “Caleb better not d.i.e,” as another agreed: “I’ll be crushed if he d.i.e.s.” A further comment read: “This may be a wild theory but in the future clips we saw, Caleb had passed away during some sort of surgery.
“Does anyone else think this has to do with Joe needing a kidney transplant?” Viewers will have to tune in to find out what happens next and if Joe manages to get his way.
