ITV Emmerdale fans 'figure out' mystery doctor who helped drug Noah
Emmerdale fans are convinced they have figured out the identity of the mystery 'doctor' who helped Joe Tate drug his brother Noah Dingle in a shock twist
Emmerdale fans believe they've cracked the mystery surrounding the anonymous 'doctor' who helped Joe Tate drug Noah Dingle.
Joe, portrayed by Ned Porteous, made a dramatic return to the Dales in December after a six-year absence, and has already caused quite a stir among the locals in the ITV soap.
However, Joe is also hiding a serious health issue. He's frequently seen taking painkillers to manage symptoms including chest pains, but he hasn't yet revealed his condition.

Since his comeback, Joe has been focusing on his brother Noah Dingle (Jack Downham). While Joe insists he wants to build a relationship with Noah, their mother Charity (Emma Atkins) remains suspicious of his motives, Leicestershire Live reports.
This week, however, the plot took a shocking twist when Noah was found drugged and lying in the road, leading to a major limousine crash. In Thursday's episode (20th February), Noah woke up in hospital where doctors told him he had likely been drugged.
As Noah tried to piece together what happened, he had hazy memories of being in a hospital. Two blurry figures then appeared, one appearing to be a doctor, who injected Noah with a syringe. It was later revealed that the other figure was none other than Joe.
Emmerdale aficionados are convinced they have unravelled the mystery behind Joe's collusion and pinpointed the shadowy doctor. Chatter erupted on an Emmerdale Facebook fan page when one sleuth announced: "I knew Joe couldn't be trusted! "

Keen spectators rushed to the comments, with numerous fans suggesting that Jamie Tate (portrayed by Alex Lincoln) might be the co-conspirator.
Another speculated: "Joe Tate is to blame, I think the other guy was Jamie." Echoing the sentiment, a third wrote: "It's definitely not just a doctor more to come I think! ".

And yet another viewer chimed in: "I really think it's Jamie too! It makes sense."
Jamie, played by Kim Tateās son (the character played by Claire King), disappeared from our screens in 2021 after faking his own death in an auto wreck.
While his mother, Kim, was left under the impression he had died, Jamie clandestinely moved to be with his daughter Millie and her grandmother.
