John k!lls Nate in Emmerdale

Nate Robinson departed the village last year… or at least, everyone thought he did. After receiving a job offer in Shetland, Nate decided a fresh start was what he needed.

For a long time, it was assumed he was in Scotland, though Tracy and Cain did become suspicious that they hadn’t heard from him.

In February, after the disastrous limo crash, Amy Barton fell into the icy lake and came face-to-face with Nate’s corpse. But she died before she could share the information.

Last month, a special flashback episode revealed John Sugden had k!lled Nate and threw his body in the lake.

After Nate was beaten up by dad Cain, John, who suffers from a hero complex, had swooped in to help Nate. He gave him an injection of drugs, but Nate immediately suffered a terrible reaction and passed away.

Emmerdale fans want Nate answers

Fans are still confused over Nate’s death. Taking to Reddit, one viewer wrote: “What exactly k!lled Nate? We know John injected him, but do we know what he was injected with and how/ why it k!lled him?

“If he were injected with pain relief, was he allergic to it or did John overdose him? It’s possible John gave him something else, to knock him out so he could save him but he died instead. Do we know for sure?”

Responding to the post, a second fan said: “It’s not been said, but it was something that required a second injection to ‘resurrect’ him since John was about to inject Nate with something else when he noticed him struggling to breathe.”

While a third fan wanted to know: “Similarly, I’d like to know how John even had a whole bunch of drugs on him. He wasn’t working at the surgery yet so where did he get all of that?”

Another fan speculated: “I think it’s either he was allergic or John accidentally overdosed him. John might have guessed Nate’s weight wrong and given him too much.”

A fifth fan had another theory. They said: “I think when John mentioned to Vic the ‘army mate’ who had a bad reaction to medication, he was actually talking about Nate.”

Whatever the case, fans are eager for it to be cleared up.
