Emmerdale viewers are certain an actor from the soap has teased a major spoiler. Ned Porteous, who plays Joe Tate, has left fans concerned that he might be leaving the ITV programme after sharing new headshots online. One image featured the soap star, 30, wearing khaki green trousers and a black vest top. Ned flexed his arms in a crisp white T-shirt in the second shot which was followed by him smouldering as he sported a brown coat.
A close up of Ned’s face was also included alongside a snap of him sitting in green trousers and a blue shirt. “@dancollinsphoto Thanks for the snaps. I promise I’m happier with them than I look in the photos. X,” Ned penned in the caption. But this only left fans worried as they flocked to the comments to speculate whether the new snaps means Joe will be written out of the soap.

“Always makes me nervous when you see new snaps… usually means you’re leaving please no!!!” penned one soap fan as a second agreed: “Yeah I thought the same.”
A third replied: “That’s what I was thinking.”
Another commented: “Hope you don’t go. You are a very good actor, you play your part well.”
A fifth declared: “Oh no – new headshots etc means you’re leaving Emmerdale.”
Joe Tate has caused quite the stir since returning to the village over Christmas following a six-year break. He has already caused mayhem, kickstarting an affair with Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) and causing the tragic limo crash, which claimed the lives of three characters.

He even orchestrated stealing a kidney from Caleb Milligan (Will Ash) to save his own life. But it looks as though Joe’s actions are about to catch up with him as Emmerdale has confirmed a whodunnit storyline involving Joe – however, it has not been confirmed what they have in story for the villain.
It becomes apparent that Joe will face retribution for his actions, however, it is unknown which character will make him pay, with the soap confirming that nine suspects could be the perpetrator.
The logline reads: “Joe has wasted no time in ruffling feathers and fuelling dangerous rivalries which have been simmering for weeks… As Joe’s enemies converge, the question isn’t if someone will seek revenge, but who will strike first?”
