Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ who k.i.l.l.e.d Nate Robinson in dark twist
As the aftermath of the crash continues fans think they know what happened to the d.e.a.d body in the lake
Emmerdale fans are convinced the mysterious d.e.a.d body in the frozen lake is Nate Robinson, as viewers think they know who k.i.l.l.e.d him in new serial k.i.l.l.e.r twist.
This week, the ITV soap aired tragic scenes as a limo driven by Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) plunged into a frozen lake. The accident happened after she swerved off road to avoid hitting her son Noah (Jack Downham) who walked out in front of the moving vehicle.
During the intense scenes, Amy Wyatt (Natalie Jamieson) was trapped under the ice and fighting for her life, where viewers also glimpsed another body submerged. Speculation is rife that the body is Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter), who abruptly departed from the village last year for Shetland.
Amy saw a hand adorned with a bracelet identical to one Frankie crafted for Nate , fuelling theories among the audience.
During Thursday’s episode (February 20), available now on ITVX, the aftermath of the limo crash continued as Amy battled hypothermia in hospital while her family rushed to be at her side.
She re-gained consciousness for a short time and tried to tell husband Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) about the d.e.a.d body in the water. Later in the episode, another glimpse of the rotting body was seen submerged in water but was wrapped up and in chains, though an arm with a bracelet was visible.
Emmerdale fans are certain Amy tried to explain it was Nate in the water as fans also believe the bracelet is a tell-tale sign it is him.
John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) appears to be the number one suspect for k.i.l.l.i.n.g Nate, and fell under suspicion as he appeared to be the last to encounter him before his exit from the village.
Doubts intensified when John discussed Nate’s abrupt departure with Tracy (Amy Walsh) highlighting that Nate hadn’t bid farewell to their daughter, Frankie.
As fans will know, John also discarded Anthony Fox’s (Nicholas Day) d.e.a.d body with calmness and mystery, sparking rumours that he is a serial k.i.l.l.e.r. John has also been seen with a set of army dog tags with the identity ‘Aidan Moore’.
Emmerdale viewers now believe John is serial k.i.l.l.e.r, and he’s stolen the identity from the real John Sugden, and has k.i.l.l.e.d Nate.
Taking to social media, one person wrote: “It’s obviously Nate’s arm”, as a second added: “Frankie was making bracelets last week and gave Amy one so she knows about them hence would know it’s Nate.”
A third pointed out: “Nate ‘left’ around the barn fire originally didn’t he so it’ll be to do with the characters involved in that. My main guess is John at the moment, reason why? Not sure yet.”
“I think it’s Nate too. I definitely think that he (John Sugden) took the place of the real John”, added one viewer.
“But here is a completely crazy theory: What if John is actually “Aiden” and he k.i.l.l.e.d the real John to take his identity,” echoed another.
While another pitched in: “Yeah he went up to the barn when it was on fire after Moira’s fight with Ruby. My theory is that John found him there, either d.e.a.d or injured, and got rid of him. It happened to be the day he was leaving so no one noticed.”
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV and ITVX
