Emmerdale viewers reckon they’ve cracked the mystery of who killed Nate Robinson (portrayed by Jurell Carter), after Amy Wyatt (Natalie Jamieson) saw his body in the frozen lake following the devastating limo crash. In tear-jerking scenes last month, before her untimely demise, Amy managed to utter Nate’s name to Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano), though it remains uncertain if he caught it. Tracy Robinson (Amy Walsh) is still awaiting word from her estranged hubby, Nate, who skipped town for a fresh start in Shetland. Despite Tracy’s attempts to reach him following the limo catastrophe that claimed three lives, Nate has yet to return her calls.

Adding to the intrigue, the ITV soap aired several flash-forwards at New Year, offering viewers a sneak peek into 2025. Among these was a chilling clip of someone trapped beneath an icy lake and another featuring fan-favourite Mack (Lawrence Robb) seemingly fleeing in terror. The Emmerdale fandom is now buzzing with theories that Mack is bolting from the lake after disposing of Nate’s body. However, the consensus is that he isn’t the killer – instead, Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) is suspected of secretly killing her own stepson, reports Leeds Live. Last year saw Moira’s brain tumour go undiagnosed for some time, leading to uncharacteristic violent outbursts and hallucinations, which fans believe could have culminated in this tragic act.

Sparks once flew between Moira and Nate, and amidst the chaos of her brain condition, a barn encounter almost reignited the past as Moira leaned in for a kiss with Nate, which was caught by Caleb Miligan (William Ash). He wasted no time informing Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), his brother and Moira’s husband. Fuming with rage, Cain didn’t think twice before confronting Nate, accusing him of trying to charm Moira once again. Despite Nate protesting his innocence, he soon made a sudden departure to Shetland, leaving a trail of silence behind him. Emmerdale audiences have been piecing together clues, spinning theories that maybe Moira, in the grip of her medical crisis, inadvertently caused Nate harm, and Mackenzie acted swiftly to conceal the tragedy and shield his ailing sister. Fans have turned to social media to voice their thoughts. One curious viewer proposed on Facebook: “Do you think maybe Moira killed Nate due to her brain tumour and doesn’t have a clue. Hence why you seen Mackenzie running through the woods in fast forward episode. Hence why may have witnessed it and he was the one who hid Nate’s body in the lake to protect Moira. Probably wrong, but a different theory.”

Echoing this sentiment, another speculated: “Yeah like it but who’s got his phone and sent Frankie birthday present xx.” Support for this plot twist grew with comments like: “Yes that sounds really good thought”, and another pondered: “I think That whoever killed Nate will get away with it. That’s an interesting theory actually he did chase her into the woods that time when she had the seizure would make sense’,” a fan mused. Another person said: “It crossed my mind that it was Moira x.”
