The ITV soap has welcomed back Dr Crowley months after he helped Joe get an illegal new kidney from his uncle Caleb Miligan.
2
Viewers will remember that Crowley was the doctor who helped Joe in his organ steaming scam.
With Joe needing a new organ to survive, Joe paid the doctor handsomely to illegal operate on an unwilling victim in order to save Joe's life.
He ended up taking Caleb Miligan's kidney after he was stabbed and transplanting it into Joe before fleeing the country.
However he has now made a shock return and took Joe captive with a fiendish plan.
In today's episode Joe was seen coming to in a makeshift hospital theatre.
Drugged into paralysis, Joe was terrified as he realised Crowley was back - and he had a shock demand.
The doctor demanded huge amounts of cash - or he'd cut Joe open and take the kidney back.
Terrified Joe screamed for help until he realised it was it was no use.
And as Crowley began slicing into him to cut the kidney out - Joe relented.
He handed over his bank details and allowed his savings - £100,000 - to be transferred to the doctor in return for his life.
Later he woke up back at Home Farm, and was found by Dawn but didn't let on about his ordeal.
But has Crowley left for good? Or does he have more plans for the Tates?

The scales fall from Lisa's eyes in Corrie as she makes discovery about Kit
Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) has had a lot on her mind recently on Coronation Street as the recent death of a colleague brought up a lot of feelings for her about her late wife, Becky. Becky was also a police officer and she was killed while chasing a suspect. She was run over and killed by a getaway car in a tragic incident that has haunted Lisa ever since as it was veiled in a certain amount of mystery. Becky had been under investigation for corruption at the time of her death, something which meant that she and Lisa had argued on the morning she died. It also meant that Becky was denied the kind of funeral that would have seen her honoured by her fellow officers. There's also the possibility that her death might not have been an accident at all, but could have been a deliberate act arising from whatever she was involved in. Lisa has never been able to get answers to her many questions concerning Becky's death as a wall of silence seems to block all her attempts to get to the truth. In upcoming episodes she's feeling the pain of her grief even more acutely because it's the eve of her and Becky's anniversary. She skips her therapy session and goes to visit Becky's grave instead. On the anniversary itself, Carla (Alison King) and Betsy (Sydney Martin) are worried about how Lisa's coping. She insists she's fine and goes off to her therapy session. Finally she allows herself to open up to the therapist and talk about her wife. She says that she's sure there was more to Becky's death than she was ever told and worries that it was something to do with the corruption investigation. Meanwhile Carla has secretly been visiting Logan Radcliffe (Harry Lowbridge) in prison, trying to find out more about what happened to Becky. He and his brother Matty (Seamus McGoff) were involved in the incident that led to Becky's death. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

Major Emmerdale couple ‘set to reunite' as Lewis works his magic
Having just managed to turn around the fortunes of the café with his Midas touch, Emmerdale's Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches) is about to go into Cupid mode as well. There is nothing this kid can't do, from growing medicinal weed to making the villagers Shakshuka eggs, now he's about to solve his brother's love woes to boot. Lewis learns about Ross Barton (Mike Parr) failed relationship with Steph (Georgia Jay) and resolves to do something about it. Ross and Steph had an unexpected relationship that flourished for a while but quickly became doomed when she learned that she was the product of sexual abuse and that her grandfather was really her father. Something like that can really put a dampener on a fledgling relationship, and for her and Ross it was too much. Steph was distraught to learn of what happened to her mother and became fixated on her looks, claiming that every glance in a mirror she saw Anthony looking back at her. After several failed attempts at plastic surgery, Steph finally broke down and despite all his support, dumped Ross to focus on herself. She told him she couldn't be the person he needed, and she was setting him free. Steph hasn't been seen much since then, but she's back. More Trending Lewis digs into Ross' relationship and finds himself intrigued by the story with Steph. It doesn't seem to have had a proper ending; it was more like bad timing.

Emmerdale John Sugden clues tease villain will finally be exposed very soon
Emmerdale's latest episodes appear to be gearing towards the end of killer John Sugden, almost a year on from his debut on the ITV soap with some hints to his downfall It can only be a matter of time before Emmerdale villain John Sugden is finally exposed to the village. Nate Robinson's murderer has managed to remain undetected despite a number of mistakes and some shifty behaviour. John killed Nate by accident before dumping his body in the lake and then using Nate's phone to pretend he'd simply moved on, cutting his family out of his life. As well as almost framing Nate's wife Tracy for the death when his body was found, John said nothing and acted like he hadn't just murdered someone for months. While the guilt is slowly eating away at him now, he's allowed another person, Owen, to die instead of saving him. This week he framed patient Owen with a faked confession regarding Nate's demise. He filled the confession and suicide note with so much detail only the killer would know, while spoilers have teased an alibi could jeopardise John's dark plan. Amid this he's struggling to cope with his actions, confiding in a volunteer at an online helpline about his guilt. He has no idea though that it's Paddy Kirk, father figure of John's husband Aaron Dingle, that he is speaking with. John's also sparked suspicion with his brother Robert Sugden, who is onto him as it is. But new information about John being at Owen's house before he died has sent Robert's mind whirling. Robert has no idea just how far John's crimes go though, with him orchestrating a harassment campaign against Chas Dingle and Liam Cavanagh all to get closer to them and be the hero, framing Ella Forster in the process. John also triggered a number of events, while also being in the right place at the right time too. He left Cain Dingle in serious danger recently with everyone thinking he'd simply drunk too much alcohol and collapsed, with John actually to blame. He deliberately caused Jacob Gallagher to have an allergic reaction by switching their coffees, all so he could save Jacob and again be the hero. He attacked Liam believing it was Mack Boyd before then saving him, while his feud with Mack also led to him deliberately causing the slurry leak at the farm to frame his enemy. This worked, and Mack's sister Moira is still at risk of losing her home and the farm, due to fines and losses in finances. John spiked Chas at one point before saving her, also rescuing Ruby Miligan from the barn fire and saving Moira then too just moments after killing Nate. Each time he has done something, his actions have alarmed fans given how careless he can be with the "clean-up" whether that be covering his tracks, disposing of evidence or framing someone. Robert learns about the Jacob incident next week, already onto John about Nate and Owen's apparent crime. Whether anyone listens to Robert remains to be seen though, but fans believe John's husband Aaron is now onto him after catching him burning his medical supplies. Mack was also onto John at one point and has refused to get involved since. But this hasn't stopped fans thinking Mack and Robert will soon join forces to expose John, with Mack's mystery flashforward still not aired. Claudette Anderson also knows about John visiting Owen, so perhaps she may look into matters, and then there's Liam who wasn't John's biggest fan previously. All it's going to take is a current ally to turn on John, whether they work with Robert or not.

Then there's Paddy who we now know is John's mystery confidant - so will John get a little too vocal and end up giving away what he's done to Paddy? What if Ella was to return and find a way to prove her innocence? Will they ever question who really attacked Liam all those weeks ago, and will Aidan awake from his coma again and finally expose what John did to him? With there being such a focus on a huge September plot and new characters Kev, Celia and Ray, all tipped to be baddies, surely the currently village baddie John is on his way out. With so many people now questioning him and Robert keen to expose him for once and for all, not to mention John's lies so close to unraveling in more ways than one, it's certainly paving the way for him to be rumbled and a comeuppance could be imminent.
