Emmerdale spoilers: Joseph Tate set for death as Cain Dingle discovers Debbie blackmail?

His actions could have massive repercussions in ITV's Emmerdale when Cain Dingle (played by Jeff Hordley) finds out what he’s been up to.

Joseph (Ned Porteous) has been manipulating Debbie (Charley Webb) ever since he found out she was behind the acid attack on Ross Barton (Michael Parr), and has forced her to be with him.

Debbie’s mum Charity (Emma Atkins) is stunned when she sees the pair together in an upcoming episode, and informs Cain of the blackmail.

Cain, dead set on revenge, then follows Joseph when he spots him driving out of the village in the dead of night.

As he tails the evil schemer in the darkness, it looks as though Cain could be about to resort to some drastic behaviour.

Will Cain kill Joseph to protect Debbie?

Tonight’s instalment of the soap saw Joe force Debbie to tell Ross that the pair were back together.

However, Ross refused to let his emotions show as he dismissed the crushing news.

“Me and Debbie are ancient history, not to mention a total train wreck. Seriously mate, you’re welcome to her," Ross told Joe.

However, yesterday saw him confess his love to Debbie when she came to visit him in hospital, so it’s clear he didn’t mean what he was saying.

Debbie stormed out of the hospital room, unable to take anymore, but Joe soon caught up with her.

He threatened: “You can either honour our arrangement or I’ll let him know that it was you who put him in that hospital bed.”

Joe then went on to say if Ross finds out, the consequences could be dire.

He told Debbie: “I imagine it will involve prison, and being separated from your children.”

It looks as though there is no way out for Debbie at present, but if her dad has anything to do with it, she could be free from Joseph at last.

Emmerdale continues Monday at 7pm on ITV.
