a tense confrontation with his father, Cain Dingle, portrayed by Jeff Hordley. This drama unfolded after Nate was wrongfully accused of

kissing his stepmother, Moira Dingle, played by Natalie J. Robb. The confusion was heightened by Moira’s health crisis, which was later revealed to be a brain tumor.

Before this turmoil, Nate had received a job offer in Scotland, prompting him to inform his wife, Tracy Metcalfe, played by Amy Walsh, about his plans. He even mentioned that Tracy and their daughter, Frankie, could join him. However, the fallout from the misunderstood

kiss led Tracy to question Nate’s fidelity, ultimately asking him to leave. In the days that followed, Nate’s whereabouts became unclear, leaving many characters frantically searching for him.

After discovering that Nate hadn’t actually kissed Moira, Tracy was devastated, especially when she realized she had cast him out over a misunderstanding. In the September 16 episode, Tracy received a distressing text from Nate, claiming he had settled in Scotland and instructing her not to contact him, which sparked a whirlwind of emotions.

Many viewers now speculate that Nate may be dead, with someone using his phone to pose as him. The enigmatic John, played by Oliver Farnworth, has been singled out by some fans as potentially linked to Nate’s disappearance. Others, however, suspect Tom King, portrayed by James Chase, who has been causing trouble for his wife, Pheobe Dingle.

Discussion on social media platforms, particularly Facebook, has been buzzing with theories. One user speculated, “Come on now, someone has Nate’s phone and is texting Tracy, so I really feel that he is dead.” Another echoed this, saying they don’t believe it was Nate sending the messages.

Theories abound, with some fans convinced that Tom has had a hand in Nate’s fate. One commenter suggested, “Tom’s done something to Nate,” while another expressed concern about the strange nature of Nate’s message instructing Tracy not to contact him.

While Nate’s character may not have had the biggest impact on the show, his sudden departure has left fans intrigued. Many are left hoping for a dramatic twist, questioning whether Tom or John might be responsible for Nate’s demise while impersonating him in text messages to Tracy. As the mystery deepens, viewers are left eager to find out what really happened to Nate and who is behind the deception.
