Some Emmerdale fans think someone closer to home is targeting Joe Tate despite his belief it’s Billy Fletcher.

Joe made a number of enemies for himself recently, leading to one of them, Dawn Taylor, shoving him out of a second floor window at Home Farm. Weeks on and he’s not made amends, and if anything he’s creating more drama.

Someone has been harassing him, leaving him sinister messages, and sneaking into his room. His medication was stolen and his window, the very window he was pushed from, was opened by a mystery person.

With his car keyed, Joe was quick to blame Dawn’s ex Billy amid their fling and then romance. But Billy denied it all, leading to Joe wanting him out the way and having Shaun teach him a lesson, while this plan was thwarted.

With Joe eager to get to the bottom of the harassment, he seemed to turn his attentions to Kim Tate in the latest episode. He has Shaun “keep an eye” on her, clearly questioning whether she could be up to something, and no doubt suspecting her too.

Betraying Kim by having her watched, he told Shaun “knowledge is power” as he asked him to report back with anything suspicious. But could Joe actually be on to something?

Some fans are speculating that Kim could be the one onto Joe, secretly plotting to bring him down after their past d.e.a.d.l.y feud. Some fans don’t think she’s working alone though and amid her new romance with mystery “Eddie” there’s a theory that Kim and someone else are working together to get Joe.

In fact, one key theory is that Shaun is the person helping Kim, and is only pretending to be Joe’s accomplice. But is Shaun secretly in cahoots with Kim, getting him on side so the both of them can take him down?

One fan predicted: “I think the guy working for Joe is really working for Kim.” Another fan added: “Who do we think is out to get Joe? I think Sean could be faking helping him or maybe Kim or maybe both.”

Another theory suggested Kim’s mystery new man Eddie was the one targeting Joe, or perhaps helping Kim. They said: “I wonder if Eddie is trying to get to Joe?”

Viewers will soon learn who is really targeting Joe and why in upcoming scenes, and whether Kim and Shaun are involved, separately or together.

There’s certainly some big scenes ahead for Joe and his storyline, but fans will just have to wait and see what happens there.
