Nate Robinson is set for an explosive exit from Emmerdale as Jurell Carter will soon bow out of the soap. But ahead of a showdown with Cain, could his departure be tragic?

Viewers believe that Nate Robinson’s exit will have a tragic undertone and with his father Cain Dingle roaming Emmerdale, a brutal death could always be on the cards for the hunk.

Actor Jurell Carter was announced to have quit his role in the ITV soap earlier this year, with a TV source claiming later on that his departure would go down in history, and spoilers for the show’s stunt week have added to the mystery around his exit scenes.

Still reeling from the surprise death of Ethan Anderson after a hit-and-run, viewers of the Yorkshire-based programme have since shared theories for Nate’s exit online, speculating that he could be killed off.

In more recent news, Nate announced that he would be leaving the eponymous village after five years to head to Shetland Green and after rekindling his romance with estranged wife Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh), he asked that she left the Dales with him and their daughter Frankie.

However, spoilers have since revealed that, ahead of a barn blaze caused by a spiralling Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb), Nate was set for a brutal brawl with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), who will be beating him in shocking upcoming scenes.

Cain will be beating his son Nate in shocking scenes aired this week after he mistakenly believes the hunk has reignited his affair with Moira Dingle

This week, tensions reach a boiling point when Caleb Miligan (Will Ash) mistakenly believes Moira and Nate have reignited their affair after spotting them sharing a moment and he later breaks the news to a furious Cain.

Taken aback, Cain decides to confront Moira with the supposed indiscretion but tempers flare again when the farmer plays it down and he struggles to take her word for it. Before long, Moira storms out, ending the conversation, but Cain seethes and soon takes his anger out on Nate.

Caleb then confronts Nate about his moment with Moira, while Tracy is totally heartbroken to hear it all from the businessman. Before long, Cain arrives and is fuming to hear of Nate’s betrayal but as the hunk tries to explain what really happened, Cain snaps and punches him to the floor.

Consumed by rage, Cain rains punches down on his own son but he is soon pleaded by Tracy to stop, and despite Nate’s continued denial, disbelieving Cain walks out and disowns him entirely.

Due to the Emmerdale tough man’s penchant for violence and his tendency to allow his temper to land himself into the trouble, Nate could suffer the consequences of his wrath, which has once led to the death of the late Al Chapman.

Emmerdale bosses have had no trouble surprising viewers with the passing of Ethan Anderson (Emile John), who died in front of his father Charles (Kevin Mathurin) before appearing in court from a brain aneurysm, like his grandfather Victor before him.

Before his true cause of death was revealed, TV fans theorised that he’d sustained lethal injuries from being run over by a vengeful Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) – a fate Nate could be facing.

While he may live to see another day after the barn fire, Cain’s blows could have a long-lasting impact on Nate, ending in his on-screen death just before his exit for Shetland Green. This could, in turn, trigger a new storyline for Caleb, one of guilt, closure and maybe even prison.
