New culprit enters the mix as Emmerdale fans ‘suss' who is out to get Joe Tate
A number of Emmerdale fans are speculating a former resident of the village is behind a revenge plan on Joe Tate (Ned Porteous).
A couple of days ago, Joe discovered his posh car had been keyed. He immediately set about accusing Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) adamant he was finally getting his own back after the marriage breakdown.
Utterly convinced, Joe enlisted help from old contact Shaun to 'teach Billy a lesson'. Shaun was the person who stabbed Caleb Miligan (William Ash) before the kidney operation earlier this year. He was instructed by Joe to target Billy, but his plan never actually got underway.
As Shaun held a knife close to him, Billy was approached by Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson), who needed him to work at the depot. Billy and Jai then left, leaving Shaun to face a frustrated Joe.
When he got back to Home Farm, Shaun also learnt that someone had been in Joe's bedroom. He confirmed a mysterious culprit had stolen his medication and left a threatening letter, and that he still thinks it was Billy.
Shaun then revealed that it definitely wasn't Billy, as he didn't see him leave the depot for the rest of the day. Confused, Joe has been trying to work out who is targeting him ever since.
While Joe hasn't worked it out, some Emmerdale fans reckon they have. Taking to a Facebook page dedicated to the soap, audience members believe that Leyla Harding's (Roxy Shahidi) sister Alicia (Natalie Anderson) is the one sneaking around.
'Wonder if it's Leyla's sister Alicia that is targeting Joe because she wants revenge', one user wrote. 'Yes I think that', a fan agreed.
'I'd love it if she returned!', another user of the page said.
Alicia hasn't been seen in the village since 2015, but it's possible she has come back after learning that Joe is the reason her sister is dead.

In February, as part of his plan to find an organ donor, Joe spiked Noah Dingle (Jack Downham) and took him to a private hospital. More Trending
It turned out that Noah wasn't a match, so Joe and Doctor Crowley let him go. However, as a result of him wandering around in a drugged state, Noah stumbled into the middle of a road, moments before Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) approached driving a limo.
Charity was forced to swerve to prevent hitting Noah and when the vehicle stopped, a group of residents became trapped on a frozen lake.

Victims lose hundreds of thousands of pounds to Booking.com holiday scam
As temperatures heat up and many of us start planning summer holidays, there are fears about a booking scam that could leave you thousands of pounds out of pocket. It could be as simple as a message or email from the hotel you have just reserved a stay with, asking for a payment to secure a your holiday. And because it comes through and looks legitimate, you rush to pay or hand over credit card details. They are not going to the hotel, however, but to scammers who have taken over a hotel's account. This type of fraud can be costly. Between June 2023 and September 2024, Action Fraud received 532 reports of scams of this sort, with a total of £370,000 lost. They believe fraudsters are using phishing attacks against accommodation providers to take over their accounts. They then send unexpected in-app messages, emails, and WhatsApp messages to customers. This means the usual warning signs of a scam, such as odd text messages or emails, do not apply. Action Fraud do not believe these take-overs are linked to backend system or infrastructure. The most important thing is to check that any communication you receive is genuine. If you receive any urgent payment requests, you should immediately reach out to the Customer Service team to confirm. Be aware that no genuine transaction will ever require a customer to provide their credit card details by phone, email, or text message (including WhatsApp). Although Fraud Action says a hotel provider may reach out to request payment information, like credit card details. But you should always verify the authenticity of the message before providing any information. You should also treat any links you are sent with suspicion. Authentic payments won't take place on a site other than or their app. also advises: 'Always double-check the property's payment policies listed on the booking page or in your confirmation email. If there is no pre-payment policy or deposit requirement outlined, but you're asked to pay in advance to secure your booking, it is likely a scam.' There are other giveaways of fraud you can still look out for. These include grammar and spelling mistakes, as well as urgency. If you realise too late that you have typed financial details into a site, get in touch with your bank in case they need to block or cancel your card. The fraudsters send messages that are designed to make you panic. They tell you there has been a problem with your credit card, of your banking details need to be verified, adding that without a response your reservation will be cancelled. There might be a link in the message for you to provide your banking details. Holidaymakers should also be aware of another scam that employs fake web pages. People are then tricked into downloading a malicious file that gives criminals full control of your device. More Trending According to technology firm HP Wolf Security, links to these web pages come in email. When customers access the site and press 'accept' to cookie before they can view the webpage, thjat triggers the file to download. said: 'Unfortunately, there is an increasing number of online scams targeting many businesses operating in the e-commerce space. With the rise of AI, cybercriminals are able to create increasingly sophisticated scams.' They added that continue to invest in cybersecurity, and stressed incidents on the platform were rare.

Edinburgh cyclist and pedestrian caught in heated exchange as people take same side
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An Edinburgh cyclist and pedestrian were caught in a heated exchange in the Piershill area of the city. In a video shared on Facebook, the cyclist can be seen moving down Portobello Road when they arrive at a pedestrian crossing as a man tries to cross during a red light. The cyclist stops abruptly and comes to verbal blows with the individual. In the video the man walking across the road can be heard saying: "Thanks for your courtesy, it's a red light. What does red light mean?" In response, the cyclist hits back with: "I see the lights, use a bit of f****** common sense. I see the lights. F*** off, f*** off, f*** off." In the comments of the video, which has garnered 597 likes and around 1.5k comments, the cyclist who took the video has faced backlash from the public. Sign up for Edinburgh Live newsletters for more headlines straight to your inbox One commenter said: "As usual with cyclists, the rules only apply when it suits them." Responding to this comment, the poster said: "Correct, however, the guy waited until I was just at the light and pressed the button; he had loads of time to cross the 'empty and quiet road' when I was 100m down the road." Another shocked viewer wrote: "You're literally the reason the rest of us get tarnished with the same brush. "Doesn't matter when he pressed the button, red light is a red light. You chose to take offence and reacted horribly. When somebody throws insults at you, it's up to you how you take them." A third added: "Absolutely brilliant I have experienced this countless times and that is always the cyclists reaction .I experience this as a car driver but you have to accept it doesn't matter if they could have crossed earlier it's the rules, how can you argue with these people they think they can do what they want . As a pedestrian I experience this but I'm a different kettle of fish, you will get a very aggressive reaction."
