Joe Tate isn’t as smart as he thinks he is, and Emmerdale fans are thrilled.
The millionaire – played by Ned Porteous – has been busy scheming for weeks to try and wrestle control of Robert Sugden and Jimmy King’s haulage company.
Viewers have watched as hapless Jimmy has been seen happily trusting Joe and letting him into his business and letting him take more and more control.
Earlier in the week, Joe hatched a scheme with a fake accountant to convince Jimmy that the business was in desperate trouble and Robert was scamming him.
It seemed to work, but in last night’s episode Robert and Jimmy revealed they had been the ones in control all the way through.
Having successfully convinced Joe to sign some legally dodgy paperwork, Robert has him exactly where he wants him.
Jimmy said: “I’m not as stupid as I look.”
Robert added: ”This is just the beginning, Jimmy.
“He’s going to regret trying to mess with me.”
Viewers were living for Robert’s triumph against Joe, especially as Joe has yet to discover what he’s done.
One fan wrote: “Can’t wait to see the smug smile wiped off Joe’s face #Emmerdale”
