Emmerdale confirms what Tracy’s hiding as fans ‘rumble’ Nate murder twist

The truth about what Tracy Robinson was up to on Emmerdale was confirmed on Thursday, as her secret came to light.

Her close friend Leyla Harding had uncovered the truth too just hours before her sad d.e.a.t.h. Now, only Tracy knows the truth, with fans seeing a flashback to what was going on in the latest episode of the ITV soap.

After Wednesday’s episode had shown her acting weirdly about a load of money she had in her purse, it was clear she was up to something. Spoilers had also alluded to her guilt and hinted at her having financial issues, with a possible theft storyline on the cards.

Thursday revealed all though, as we learned Tracy had been stealing from Eric Pollard without anyone knowing. She’d been taking money from the till in his shop according to the special scene, and Leyla had spotted her doing it.

Coming clean, Tracy claimed she was getting no child support from her AWOL ex-husband Nate Robinson, with those in the village yet to realise he is d.e.a.d. His body was shown at the bottom of a lake last month meaning someone k.i.l.l.e.d him, and only they know the truth.

Tracy explained that she’d had no contact and with her limited hours at the shop she had no money. She began stealing from the till to cover bills, with it soon getting out of hand.

She confessed to Leyla she’d taken £2,000 in total in recent weeks or months. She even confessed that she was the reason Eric could not find a buyer for the shop after lying to possible buyers, not wanting to lose her job.

Leyla urged her pal to confide all to Eric and admit what she’d done. But Tracy was scared in case he did not forgive her and didn’t say a word.

But something that did come out of the scene was the news about Nate not being in contact and not giving money to Tracy. Of course fans know this is because he’s d.e.a.d, but it means the k.i.l.l.e.r, who was using Nate’s phone last year, isn’t continuing to pretend to be their victim – with Tracy being the one behind Frankie’s gift.

Now, fans think this could be what leads to the truth about Nate’s murder coming to light. Viewers believed this will ring alarm bells to Nate’s family with a theory reading: “Hopefully she’ll mention that Nate isn’t paying child maintenance & suspicions will raise,” as another said: “Yes wonder how long before body found.”
