ITV Emmerdale Joe Tate’s comeback confirmed as fans ‘work out’ link to Kim plot
Joe Tate, played by former EastEnders star Ned Porteous, was a huge fan-favourite. During 2018, the character was seemingly killed off in the wake of Kim’s return – with Kim taking back control of Home Farm. A shock twist, however, later revealed that Joe was very much alive – but he has yet to return to the eponymous village.
