Concern grows for Pete Barton in Emmerdale storyline

Next week, "Emmerdale" fans will be shocked by news involving Pete Barton. He has not been seen on the show since 2020, but recent events are bringing him back into the spotlight. The drama revolves around Joe Tate, who is suffering from kidney disease. Joe has been trying to find a donor, starting with his half-brother Noah Dingle. However, Noah was not a match. Now, Joe has turned his attention to his uncle, Caleb Milligan. In a twist, Joe has tricked doctor Manpreet Sharma into helping him get a blood sample from Caleb. Joe discovers that Caleb is a suitable donor. Next week, Joe plans to move forward with his unsettling scheme. Ross Barton, Joe's brother, is keeping an eye on these developments. He watches a conversation between Joe and Manpreet and later shares his concerns with Kim Tate. She wants to gather evidence of Joe's plans before taking action. Things take a dark turn when Dr. Crowley meets Joe in secret to discuss the details. Their meeting is interrupted by Ross, creating tension. Meanwhile, Ross receives a shocking call about his brother Pete being attacked, prompting him to rush to the hospital. Viewers are reminded of Pete, who left the village five years ago to join Ross in Liverpool. Actor Anthony Quinlan, who portrayed Pete, has been focusing on health and fitness since leaving the show. He started a vegan supplement company and offers online coaching to help clients improve their health. "Emmerdale" airs weeknights at 7:30 PM on ITV1 and ITVX, with extended episodes on Thursdays.
