Emmerdale has dropped a major twist in the aftermath of Billy Fletcher’s attack, but plenty of fans are already questioning whether Joe Tate has been set up. Instead, many viewers are convinced another villager is really to blame.
Billy was left unconscious at the Depot after clashing with several people. So when police confirmed he had been attacked rather than injured in an accident, suspicion immediately fell on Joe Tate.
Although Joe insisted he was innocent, the evidence appeared to be stacking up against him. But after watching the latest episode, some Emmerdale fans now think Billy’s own boss and friend Caleb could actually be the one behind the attack.

Joe was arrested as Caleb sent the police his way
Joe quickly became the prime suspect after learning Billy had kissed Dawn, something Caleb had revealed to him. And as soon as police confirmed Billy had been attacked, Caleb and Kerry wasted no time in suggesting Joe could be responsible.
Later, Caleb also shared his suspicions with Marlon in the pub, meaning it didn’t take long for the rest of the village to start believing Joe was guilty. Given Joe’s history, plenty of people thought the theory made sense.
It wasn’t long before police arrived at the hospital while Joe was assuring Dawn he had nothing to do with the attack.
Despite his protests, officers arrested him because he was the most obvious suspect.
