Emmerdale viewers have been left fearing for Noah Dingle after his brother Joe Tate begged him to move to Dubai
Emmerdale viewers believe they have worked out the reason behind Joe Tate’s grand plan of getting Noah Dingle to move to Dubai.
Since returning to the Dales at Christmas, conniving Joe (Ned Porteous) has wasted no time in ruffling the feathers of those around him.
He has embarked on an affair with married Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) and has been hell-bent on making his half-brother Noah (Jack Downham) take a job in the United Arab Emirates.
Noah was mulling over the job offer after his own electrical business became a victim of fake online reviews, courtesy of Joe, which has caused jeopardy with attracting customers.

His tools were then stolen leaving him defeated as Joe promised him success in Dubai – and the opportunity looked to good to miss.
Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) stepped-in to demand her son Noah stays in the village, and away from Joe, as is she worried about Joe’s influence over him.
Joe was left furious when Noah confirmed he isn’t taking the job in Dubai and is planning to stay in the village to work on growing his own business, much to Charity’s delight.

On Wednesday (February 12), stressed-out Joe made a phone call to an unknown person confirming he wants Noah to be involved with some sort of mysterious plan.
“Noah’s not coming to Dubai, not as disappointed as I am”, Joe said before adding: “Noah will be in the right place at the right time.”
Emmerdale viewers have since been wondering why Joe is so desperate for Noah to move abroad, leaving fans are convinced Joe wants to use Noah as a drugs smuggler.

Taking to X, one fan wrote: “So do think Joe wants Noah to go to Dubai for drugs or something?”.
While a second replied: “Ooh, you could be right…”, while a third chimed in: “He either needs a transplant of some sort or a drugs mule!! Nice lad!!! #emmerdale.”
“Drug smuggling? #emmerdale”, simply asked one viewer. Another echoed: “Is Noah going to be a drug mule for Joe #emmerdale.”
