THE TATE TWIST: JOE’S SH0CK OFFER TO LYDIA DINGLE AFTER A GAME-CHANGING SECRET IS EXPOSED
Suspicions are high on Emmerdale next week when Joe Tate shows some unexpected kindness towards Lydia Dingle. The character, who has a knack for scheming, makes the surprise move in the aftermath of Butler’s Farm changing hands.
Last week’s scenes saw Moira Dingle signing the property over to the Tates, and it has now been confirmed that Joe ultimately hands control of it over to Robert Sugden and his partner, Aaron Dingle.
Viewers will soon see the Dingle clan making a fresh start at The Woolpack, only to be wary when Joe walks in and apologises to Lydia for the recent tensions between them – and offers her a pay rise.
Even Joe’s mother Kim is suspicious of his actions, but she’s unaware that he’s made a big discovery…
“Joe rarely does anything without an ulterior motive,” our Emmerdale source teases. “When he offers an olive branch to Lydia, there are some who dare to hope that he’s building bridges between the Tates and the Dingles.
“After all, Lydia has worked loyally for Kim at Home Farm for years now. Unbeknownst to everyone, though, Joe has made a big discovery that’s driving his latest actions. What is he up to – and where does Lydia fit into it all?”
