Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ who has baby Tate and it’s intriguing

| Soaps Reporter Published October 5, 2026 11:16am Updated October 5, 2026 11:16am Fans think they know what’s really going on (Picture: ITV) Last week’s Emmerdale saw Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) go through with his plan to put baby Tate up for adoption, and fans think they know who has taken him in. After Dawn Taylor’s death, Joe struggled to bond with his son, and made the decision to have him adopted. Kim Tate (Claire King) was against the idea, and did everything she could to try to convince Joe to change his mind, even recruiting Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) to talk some sense into him. In recent scenes, Joe brought the baby home, giving Kim hope that he’d had a change of heart. Unfortunately, Joe revealed that he had simply brought the baby back to Home Farm so that Kim could say goodbye before Graham took him to his new family.

On Reddit, one fan said: ‘£100 on Graham is secretly raising the baby somewhere, right up until Joe changes his mind, and then they’ll return.’ ‘Thought this as soon as I heard Graham was leaving with the baby.. itll be christmas time it happens,’ another replied. Graham will definitely bring the baby up.. Why else would he be leaving on the same day 🤔😉😉😃🍼🍼— Jacqui Read (@jacqui_read2) October 3, 2026 Graham is clearly going to look after the baby.
