Inside fan theory Caleb is who killed Nate – and John’s just a big red herring
Is Nate’s body in the lake?
In Emmerdale this week, a mystery body was seen at the bottom of the lake. Fans are convinced the body belongs to Nate Robinson, and a new theory believes Caleb killed him.
While on a night out in a limousine, stand in driver Charity veered off the road when her son Noah staggered out in front of the vehicle.
During the escape, a body was seen in the water. While we haven’t yet discovered who the body belongs to, fans have been speculating.
Body in the water in Emmerdale
After Charity swerved the limo off the road, it ended up submerged in a frozen lake.
Charity, Chas, Liam, Vanessa, Kerry, Leyla and Amy made their way from the limo across the ice one by one, while an already dead Suzy was left in the limo as it sunk.
Unfortunately for Amy Barton, the ice started to crack as she approached safety and she sunk into the lake.
While she was underwater, she came face to face with another body. While viewers didn’t see whose body it was, we did see that the mystery person was wearing a friendship bracelet similar to the one little Frankie made for Amy.
Viewers were quick to assume the body belonged to Frankie’s dad Nate Robinson, who left the Dales last year for a job in Scotland. However, fans are now thinking he didn’t leave after all, and instead has been in the lake the whole time.
Fan theory believes Caleb killed Nate
Taking to social media, fans were quick to share their theories. “I think John is a red herring. We’re meant to think it’s him. I maybe think Caleb. He’s the only person in the village who really had a grievance with Nate. Plus he’s nasty and violent when he’s angry.”
A second fan agreed, writing: “Caleb hated Nate, but couldn’t go for him because of Cain. That actually makes sense.”
A third fan said: “Caleb. I think Nate ran into him as he was leaving the village and a fight broke out (about Tracy) and Nate died. I’m not saying it was murder, maybe manslaughter but either way Caleb killed him and let his family (Cain and Frankie) believe he was still alive which is so cruel.”
Another fan added: “Caleb is a hot head that had an affair with another guy’s wife, maybe he killed Nate.” While a fifth fan echoed the thought, writing: “Murderer is Caleb after his affair with Tracey was found out.”
A sixth fan referenced the flashforward scenes which were shown earlier this year, in which Caleb was seen in hospital. They speculated: “People saying the body is Nate – that would explain Cain crying at a graveside and Caleb in hospital – did Caleb kill Nate and Cain finds out?? …. it’s intense, Emmerdale!”
