Emmerdale fans reckon they've cracked the mystery surrounding Nate Robinson's (portrayed by Jurell Carter) sudden exit from the ITV serial drama. After witnessing events unfold last week, viewers developed a sense of mistrust towards the latest addition, John Sugden (played by Oliver Farnworth). His evasive answers to Tracy Metcalfe's (Amy Walsh) queries regarding Nate's location set alarm bells ringing.

The tension escalated following a barn blaze that could have claimed the lives of Ruby Milligan (acted by Beth Cordingly) and Moira Barton (Natalie J Robb). When cornered about Nate's whereabouts, John's anxiety was palpable and it did not go unnoticed. Confronted about Nate, John asserted he had departed from the village already, saying to an inquiring Tracy: "He wasn't there, he left before it happened, he mentioned Shetland.

" To which Tracy, taken aback, replied: "Yeah, I knew he was going there, I just thought I might have seen him before he took off," reports Leeds Live . "I am sorry, was John's succinct response, eliciting Tracy's answer: It's not your fault, is it?" Social media has been buzzing with fan theories on Nate's 'true' whereabouts. Some speculate that John may have kidnapped or worse, killed Nate, while others suggest a case of identity theft.

Discussions also surfaced of a potential plot twist involving Tracy potentially being pregnant with his child. Concerned viewers aired their suspicions with remarks like: "Is that John texting Tracey #emmerdale," spark.
