fans think they know exactly who Joe Tate’s next victim is – and it’s not Noah. Joe has been hiding a mystery illness from those around him after his surprise return to the village at Christmas.
Joe foiled Will Taylor’s plan to ruin his wife before his sudden death – but after drugging Noah and collapsing in secret, Joe’s health has been on viewers’ minds. Next week we’re set to find out what is in Joe’s mystery black case and what exactly the health issue he’s been hiding is.
Joe visits Dr Crowley as their true plan finally comes to light, just as he’s continuing to shun Dawn Taylor after their fling.
Over on , however, fans are sure they already know exactly what’s going to happen, and it involves Caleb Miligan. One user echoed: “I do wonder whether it’s an organ transplant. I’ve seen other users mention Dubai may have a shady organ trade, plus we’ve seen Noah going through medical tests, Joe incredibly sick, his private doctor … I think maybe he might be forced to use Caleb, though, rather than Noah.

“The current cover art is Joe and Caleb, Caleb is his biological uncle, and we’ve seen a flash-forward of Caleb flat-lining somewhere, too. I wonder whether he’ll be Joe’s victim, only to “die” on the table (as I can’t see them killing him off).”

Another echoed: “That’s a great theory as to why Caleb is going to be in hospital!” And another echoed: “Excellent thinking! I was thinking that Cain battered him to near death when Nate’s body is discovered, thinking Caleb was responsible.
“But your theory seems more plausible, considering Joe’s blood ties to Caleb. It’s just the type of plot I would expect from .”
