Emmerdale fans think Jamie Tate's return to the soap is 'sealed' - but others are predicting another major twist that'd blow his comeback out the water.
Fans of the ITV soap know former village vet Jamie is alive and well but his mum, Kim Tate, was left thinking he had died after faking his own death by driving into a lake. The character, played by Alexander Lincoln, has in fact been living away from the village with his ex-wife's mum, Hazel, who got custody of Millie after Andrea Tate died.
In Wednesday night’s episode, Emmerdale saw tension at Home Farm as Kim told Gabby Thomas that she needed to postpone her son's christening after Hazel informed her Millie wouldn't be attending as she was sick. Thinking that it'd be the only opportunity to see her granddaughter again, Kim infuriated Gabby.
But the mum of Jamie's son put her foot down and said the christening would of ahead as planned as it is the same date as the anniversary of her father, Ashley's, death. In the end, after some wise words from partner Will and housekeeper Lydia, Kim related and agreed things could go ahead as planned.
However, Gabby headed off in a rush as she had a surprise in mind for Kim and headed to Hazel's to try and change her mind about Millie. After initially staying firm and continuing her claims Millie was ill, the youngster appeared to show she was fit and well leaving Hazel no choice but to agree to attend baby Thomas' christening.
And after she made a phone call telling Jamie that they had a 'problem', Emmerdale viewers were quick to assume that it signaled Jamie's comeback. @maitra_sulagna tweeted: "Is Jamie Tate coming back?!! That's the return we get!! #Emmerdale."
"Millie is definitely gonna let slip that her dad is alive calling it now, or Jamie turns up at the christening tomorrow. #Emmerdale," @JordanPhelps21 said.
@VanityPending wrote: "Jamie Tate incoming…..#emmerdale," while @delucaevans commented: "If this christening drama isnt to bring back jamie then what is the point #Emmerdale." But with Meena Jutla's murder trial on the horizon, fans think that Millie's mother Andrea, who appeared to die in the horror maze fire last year, will actually make a return.
"What about Andrea, there was no body!!! Wouldn't surprise me if she's a witness in court," @janmac1958 said. @k.wojciechowska123 commented: "Hope Andrea in witness protection, then to make an appearance to testify at Meenas trial. Could be Emmerdales redeeming feature!"
"Andrea def in witness protection and make a surprise appearance in court. I reckon," @gazzyg1983 echoed.
