Emmerdale fans fume at 'surprising' nate robinson 'blunder'

THE CHARACTER HAS NOT BEEN SEEN ON THE SOAP FOR MONTHS 20:46, 21 May 2025 Emmerdale fans all said the same thing as Nate Robinson's disappearance was finally addressed in the soap. Fans

saw the villagers finally start to realise that no one has heard from Nate for months. The character left the village last summer to embark on a new venture after accepting a job in

Scotland. He left Tracy and his daughter Frankie behind, and Tracy has been furious that he has not tried to get in contact with them. However, Belle Dingle, who was close friends with Nate,

has also started to notice that no one had been in contact with him. Viewers' suspicions about Nate's whereabouts began to grow, until all was revealed in a dark storyline which

placed John Sugden at the centre of a violent murder. Earlier this year, a dramatic limo crash saw Amy Wyatt, Leyla Harding and Suzy Merton lose their lives. But while Amy was trapped under

the ice, she spotted Nate's lifeless body floating in the water. Amy died before she could tell anyone about her shocking discovery. Ever since, fans have been speculating what happened

to Nate. Last month, an eerie flashback saw Nate injure himself in the barn fire. John rushed over to try and save him with an injection, but Nate suffered a reaction and he collapsed and

died. In an attempt to hide the evidence, John disposed of Nate's corpse in the lake. Although viewers know everything about Nate's tragic end, the characters in the soap think he

is in Scotland and are patiently waiting to hear from him. On Wednesday (May 21), Belle Dingle's concerns began to grow. She told Cain she wanted to drive to Scotland to see how Nate is

getting on. Belle said: "I feel like I can help him and get him in the family again." Despite Belle's attempt to learn more about Nate's disappearance, viewers

couldn't help but wonder why it has taken her so long to realise something is wrong. Taking to social media, one Emmerdale fan said: "Belle was close to Nate so I’m glad that she’s

concerned, surprised it took her this long though!" A second wrote: "They’ve not checked Nate’s social media, bank accounts, asked his mum if she’s seen him, or if he turned up to

work. Yet Belle is driving up to Scotland alone, like she’s just nipping to the shops." Article continues below More added to the conversation on X: "So the writers expect us to

believe that the characters just accept Nate's disappearance because he's got the hump. Nobody's contacted his mum and surely she'd want to know why she hasn't heard

from her son in months. Hurry this SL up, it's stressing me." Viewers will have to wait to find out what happens when Belle arrives in Scotland to discover Nate never actually

made it there. Will the truth come out? Or will John stay silent forever?
