Who killed Nate in Emmerdale? Cryptic lake scene leaves fans searching for answers
Fans of Emmerdale are convinced they know the identity of Nate Robinson's killer following a shocking revelation this week involving a body discovered in a lake.
On Friday night, the soap seemingly hinted that the body belonged to Nate after Amy Wyatt stumbled upon a crucial clue regarding her ex's fate. Tragically, Amy passed away after a limo crash before she could share her findings with anyone. Although she attempted to communicate the discovery to her husband, Matty Barton, he failed to grasp her message. With her death, only Nate's killer is aware of his true whereabouts and fate.
Several clues suggested that the body was Nate's, including a jacket sleeve that matched the one he was wearing last and a bracelet crafted by his daughter, Frankie. Since his mysterious disappearance in September, little has been heard from Nate, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.

Following a misunderstanding with his father, Cain Dingle, and partner, Tracy Robinson, Nate made the decision to relocate to Shetland for a new job. However, every attempt Tracy has made to reach out has been met with silence; Nate has refused to answer her calls or voicemails, only communicating through text messages.
On Friday, as a devastated Tracy called her ex, she pleaded with him to return home, expressing how much she missed him. Still reeling from the recent limo accident and the losses of Amy, Suzy Merton, and her close friend Leyla Harding, Tracy's emotional turmoil was palpable.
As Tracy's call went unanswered, the camera panned back to the lake, where a body bag sank slowly to the bottom. Viewers caught another glimpse of the arm adorned with the bracelet, coinciding with Tracy's call to Nate, suggesting a grim confirmation that this was indeed Nate's body.
Adding to the intrigue, a mysterious figure was seen watching the lake as the investigation into the crash unfolded. Despite Nate's body sinking and remaining undiscovered, the units at the scene began to leave, raising further questions about what truly happened.
A mysterious hooded figure was spotted by the lake, their back turned to the camera as they watched the last vans depart. This enigmatic individual appears to know the truth about what happened to Nate and is likely the person responsible for his death and the disposal of his body.
Fans have been busy speculating about Nate's killer, with various suspects emerging from the shadows, Mirror reports. While some have pointed fingers at Caleb Miligan, Nate's uncle, and even Tom King, one name has risen to the forefront of the conversation.
Nate's cousin, Aaron Dingle, has also been under suspicion, but many viewers are convinced that John Sugden is the true culprit behind Nate's demise. Not only was John the last person seen with Nate on-screen, but he also spread the word that Nate had left, raising further questions about his involvement in the unfolding mystery.
John Sugden's behaviour raised eyebrows in the days leading up to Nate's mysterious disappearance. He was seen acting oddly and spending a lot of time in his van, which has drawn suspicion, especially given his previous involvement in the disposal of Anthony Fox's corpse just weeks earlier.
Fans on social media have taken to discussing their theories, with one remarking, "Can't believe us 'John Sugden' serial killer believers on Tumblr were right." Another fan suggested, "Reckon Nate was poking about in John's camper and found something." Adding to the intrigue, a third viewer recalled a scene where John was acting suspiciously near his van, leaving the slide door open. "Someone appeared, and he quickly closed the door as though he was hiding something inside…possibly Nate’s body?"
