The step-grandson of Kim Tate – who is played by actor Ned Porteous in the ITV soap – was seen walking back to the village last night after being run out the previous day by Graham Foster to protect him from Kim's murderous intentions.
And viewers are terrified for the hunky faux millionaire and want him to flee so he can live another day.
One wrote: "He's gonna be killed by Kim if he goes back to home farm. #Emmerdale"
A second added: "Joe is going to die mark my words #emmerdale"
Another commented: "Joe Tate is just too good to leave emmerdale."
Kim – who is played by actress Claire King in the ITV soap – walked out of prison vowing to take back Home Farm and her businesses and kill her step-grandson in the process.
The Sun Online revealed last week how Kim has been behind all of Joe’s schemes in the village.
But by falling in love with Debbie Dingle, he has gone too far for Kim and she wants him out of the picture – permanently.
She told Graham: “I don’t want to hear about another man who can’t do his job.
“You’ve had dogs, Graham, Joe’s a biter, he’s bitten once so I can never trust him to not bite again.
“And don’t forget he’s bitten you too. There’s only one way to deal with a persistent biter. It’s sad but necessary.”
She added: “Now I’m going to my hotel room, which won’t smell of prison, I’m going to have a long bath, drink a glass of champagne, change into some very expensive clothes, and then I’m going to enjoy my welcome home party.
“Where there will be no Joe. He won’t be there. He won’t be anywhere.”
