Emmerdale has confirmed where Baby Tate is, and Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) is not going to be happy when he finds out. The ITV soap has revealed what really happened when Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) left Home Farm with the baby.
Weeks ago, Joe arrived home from the hospital with his baby son in his arms. A hopeful Kim Tate (Claire King) thought Joe had changed his mind about being a dad, but he explained he had only brought the tot to Home Farm so Kim could say her goodbye. Kim’s heart broke even more when she discovered Graham was also leaving. He took Baby Tate and departed, telling everyone he would give the baby to social services prior to the adoption.
Kim reunited with Baby Tate
At the end of tonight’s episode, Kim arrived outside a remote cottage with some shopping. In the kitchen, Graham stood with Baby Tate in his arms. He smiled at Kim, who was overjoyed to see them both again.
With the baby’s location still hidden from Joe, questions remain over how he will react upon learning that Graham went against his wishes to put the child up for adoption.
Kim’s chance to redeem herself
Keeping Baby Tate in the family will also provide Kim with an opportunity to redeem herself. When DS Thea Ramsden (Chelsea Edge) learns the truth, Kim may be able to prove she has attempted to make amends for the family’s past.
Speaking about the storyline twist, Emmerdale Producer Sophie Roper said: ‘Kim was devastated at the prospect of Joe giving the baby up for adoption. While it initially appeared that Graham and Kim had resigned themselves to the plan, they have secretly intervened to ensure the baby remains safe and hidden away.’
‘Desperate for Joe not to come to regret his decision, Kim’s determined to find a way to reunite father and son but with Joe still consumed by grief over losing Dawn and Thea set on vengeance against Kim, can Kim and Graham continue to protect their secret?’
