Following the shocking offscreen departure of Nate Robinson, viewers believe they’ve pieced together some clues surrounding his fate. In

recent episodes, John’s evasive behavior raised alarms when Tracy, played by Amy Walsh, pressed him about Nate’s whereabouts after a dramatic barn fire that almost took Ruby Milligan, Beth, and Moira Barton’s lives.

John’s nervousness and hurried exit after speaking with Tracy led fans to suspect he may be hiding something. When pressed about Nate, John mentioned that Nate had already left the village before the fire and casually referenced Shetland. Tracy, sensing something was off,

replied, “Yeah, I knew he was going there,” indicating her lingering hope of seeing him before he left. John’s response—“I’m sorry”—only deepened Tracy’s confusion, leading fans to wonder if John could be involved in Nate’s sudden disappearance.

Social media is abuzz with theories about Nate’s fate. While some fans suspect John may have kidnapped or even killed Nate, others think he might have taken on Nate’s identity. One viewer raised an eyebrow at a text John sent to Tracy, suggesting a deeper connection between them. Speculation intensified with fans pondering whether Tracy could be pregnant with Nate’s child following his mysterious exit.

As the theories circulated, some viewers expressed frustration at how Nate’s character was handled, questioning why he didn’t receive a more impactful send-off. Many hoped for a more dramatic conclusion, like a showdown involving John or another character, instead of the ambiguous nature of Nate’s exit. One fan speculated, “Nate is either truly in Shetland or he’s in trouble, which is why his voicemail was full.”

Echoing these sentiments, another viewer expressed concern over the potential death of Nate and how that could lead to Tracy being left alone, possibly pregnant again. Yet, not everyone is convinced Nate is gone for good; one fan argued that if John killed Nate, it would diminish his character’s legacy.

Amidst the speculation, actor Jurell Carter, who played Nate, took to Instagram to bid farewell. He shared a heartfelt message alongside photos with co-stars, reflecting on his five years with Emmerdale. He expressed gratitude for the support he received during his time on the show and emphasized how special the experience was for him.

Carter noted that making the decision to leave a place that felt like home was not easy, highlighting the bonds he formed with his castmates. He concluded by thanking the fans who have supported him, stating that being part of a show that resonated with so many families meant everything to him.

With all these twists unfolding, fans are left eagerly anticipating what’s next for Tracy, John, and the mysterious fate of Nate. Stay tuned for more updates as the drama continues!
