EMMERDALE fans are convinced that village Nate Robinson will die in the show’s explosive barn fire.
Nate (Jurell Carter) is front and centre in the trailer for the upcoming stunt, which is set to be deadly for at least one of the villagers.
Viewers are convinced Nate will meet a tragic fate during the explosive storyline as actor Jurell has quit the soap.
The new trailer for the fire opens with Nate looking weary as he’s heard saying: “It’s here that’s the problem. I want you to come with me.”
Estranged wife Tracey (Amy Walsh) kisses him before he is immediately seen being kissed by Moira (Natalie J. Robb) – who he had an affair with years ago – in the barn.
He adds in the voiceover: “If you blab about what happened when you were half cut…”
However, the pair were seen by Caleb Miligan (William Ash), who is heard saying: “I saw Moira with Nate… kissing.”
Then a petrol canister is knocked over, before Moira is seen with a shotgun looking angry, and she shoots out a light above her in the barn.
However, that erratic decision could be what triggers the blaze that soon engulfs it.
Meanwhile, newcomer John Sugden is seen telling a fellow villager: “Call the fire brigade and ambulance, tell them someone’s trapped.”
Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) is then seen arriving and calling Moira’s name, she shouts for help – but it’s not clear if she is the only one at risk before he races into the blazing barn as beams fall and flames flare up around him and Will Taylor (Dean Andrews).
While any number of residents could be the person trapped, soap fans are convinced that it’s Nate.
Speaking of the fire on X, formerly Twitter, one Emmerdale fan said: “This is probably how Nate will die.”
“Nate, unfortunately, is going to die,” agreed another. “The actor that plays Nate has quit Emmerdale. My guess, this is Nate’s explosive exit. So this means a third young male character killed off this year,” they added.
Meanwhile, a third viewer moaned: “Emmerdale can never let a couple be happy. Now Caleb is going to tell Cain about Moira and Nate’s kiss. Yet Moira kept him and Tracy a secret. I feel Nate will die, Moira will be in hospital, then we will find out what’s wrong with her.”
The upcoming deadly inferno will leave a number of lives on the line.
SOAP viewers are frequently left heartbroken after watching some of their favourite characters bite the dust.
