Gina in Emmerdale has sparked huge suspicions that a past character has returned to the soap undetected, after years away.
Viewers are convinced Gina, a secret accomplice of Joe Tate helping him to target Caleb Miligan, could secretly be an old village resident. Not only that but they think she might be using a fake name, and that her real identity will see her DNA link to Joe and Caleb exposed.
After The Mirror teased Gina’s mystery arrival over the weekend, with a preview clip showing her targeting Caleb, fans shared their thoughts. In response to the clip we shared, viewers could not wait to tell us their thoughts on who Gina really was – and one theory could be a genius move by the ITV soap.
On Wednesday night the scenes with Gina aired, with her showing up at the depot wanting to speak with owner Caleb about a possible business deal. She soon turned on the charm and she revealed she was keen to work with him.

She claimed other suppliers were not working out, before agreeing to a deal with the depot. Caleb was thrilled but had no idea he was being used.
As we revealed last week Gina is helping Joe, planning on drugging Caleb to allow Joe and his doctor Dr Crowley to get on with their master plot. In a dark organ theft storyline we know that Joe is plotting to secretly steal his uncle Caleb’s kidney as he is suffering from chronic kidney disease.
He’s been having dialysis but is running out of time, and he needs a kidney transplant to survive. But instead of asking for help he’s paying Crowley a lot of money to help him steal someone’s kidney without them being aware.

They’re targeting Caleb with the initial plan being to drug him and then operate, going ahead with the operation and hoping they get away with it. This is where Gina came into it, with her showing up as a possible new client.
After pretending to hate the coffee she’d been given, Caleb offered to make her a tea instead – and it’s then that Gina’s real plan came into play. She took out a vial filled with a mystery liquid from her bag and poured it into Caleb’s own tea.
As this was unfolding, fans had been wondering who Gina was and if she had a secret identity. Having seen the preview clip we shared days earlier, some fans already had a good idea of who she might be.
Viewers told us they believed Gina could actually be former character and Tate family member Jean Tate. Jean is the daughter of Zoe Tate and left the show years ago, but has she returned?

If Gina is really Jean this would make her the cousin of Joe, and the niece of Caleb – the man she is cruelly targeting. Taking to X in response to our preview, one fan posted: “I wonder is Gina really Jean Tate?”
Another fan said: “Jeannnn! It would also make sense as Joe and Jean grew up together so they have probably stayed in contact.” A third said: “This would be incredible,” as a fourth added: “Gina? Surely this has to be Jean, can someone share? It would also make sense that if Jean was opposed to Joe’s plans she would use a pseudonym.”
