Emmerdale spoilers follow from Friday’s episode (16 May)
Emmerdale has aired a shocking betrayal from Noah Dingle, which has left more than one villager devastated.
In tonight’s episode, Noah visited Joe Tate in the hospital to find out what he’d told the police about his fall. Unfortunately for Noah, Joe feigned confusion about the events, despite knowing Dawn Fletcher had pushed him.
The pair were left in a stalemate as Noah reminded Joe of his spiking ordeal, which caused the limo crash and claimed the lives of Suzy Merton, Leyla Harding and Amy Wyatt.
“Look, we are in a bit of a bind. The police think that you tried to kill me. Half the village, they think I’m a bad guy. What are we gonna do about it?” Joe asked his brother.

Joe threatened to tell the police that he remembered Noah pushing him. He insisted that he wanted to build bridges with Noah but needed him to retract his statement first.

Noah reluctantly agreed to the deal, but told Joe it was “going to cost” him. Later, at the Woolpack, Jacob Gallagher overheard Noah telling Charity about his decision and demanded to know why.
Noah lied that he misremembered who had spiked him after regaining consciousness in the hospital. But furious Jacob was unconvinced and accused Noah of being gullible for believing Joe cares about him.

“My mum’s not gonna get justice because of you!” Jacob shouted. “I knew he was going to get away with it. He always does. But I never thought that you, of all people, would stab me in my back.”
Meanwhile, Charity questioned her son, asking him why he was helping Joe “get away with killing loads of people”.
Noah insisted his statement wouldn’t have impacted Joe’s fate as his wealth and lawyers would have spared him from any punishment. But Charity was horrified to discover he had taken money from Joe as part of the deal.
“I never imagined I’d have to worry about you when it comes to family and loyalty. I trusted that the Dingle in you would win every time,” she said. “I was so wrong. You’re a Tate. You can be bought for the right price. Get out.”
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
