Fans of Emmerdale are buzzing with speculation following Nate Robinson’s unexpected off-screen departure from the ITV soap. After Nate’s sudden exit, viewers became suspicious of newcomer Jon Sugden, whose evasive behavior and nervous responses when questioned about Nate’s whereabouts by Tracy led to growing doubts. In a key moment, Jon revealed that Nate had already left the village for Shetland, which surprised Tracy, as she thought she would have seen him before his departure.

Fans quickly took to social media to share their theories about what might have happened to Nate. Some believe Jon may have harmed or even kidnapped Nate, while others speculate that Jon has assumed Nate’s identity. Adding to the mystery, there is also speculation that Tracy could be pregnant with Nate’s child, fueling more theories about Nate’s potential fate.

One theory suggests that Nate is either truly in Shetland or has been abducted, with fans pointing out that his calls are going straight to voicemail. Another theory circulating is that Nate may have been killed, especially after Jon’s suspicious actions. Many viewers are disappointed at the possibility that Nate’s exit will result in his death, while others speculate that the storyline could see Tracy pregnant again following Nate’s disappearance.

Meanwhile, actor Jurell Carter, who played Nate, took to Instagram to share an emotional goodbye with fans, expressing his gratitude for the love and support he received during his five years on Emmerdale. He called his time on the show a “massive chapter” of his life, thanking the cast, crew, and viewers as he bid farewell to the beloved character.
