'Dire' Storyline Emmerdale Fans Want Done as It's 'a Waste of Good Characters'

Emmerdale airs weeknights and on July 14, 2025, it will feature scenes where Joe Tate confronts Doctor Crowley amid ongoing conflicts in the village.
This event follows Joe's chronic kidney disease diagnosis, his transplant from Caleb Miligan facilitated by the shady Dr Crowley, who fled and recently returned seeking revenge.
Kim Tate, played by Claire King since 1989, is expanding her land holdings and alliances, while fans express mixed reactions to the Joe-Crowley storyline, calling it both soapy and tedious.
Claire King revealed Kim 'keeps going on about legacy' and promised a 'nasty twist' when Kim discovers Crowley's true intentions, foreshadowing a potential dramatic showdown.
Fans' calls to end the storyline suggest it risks fatigue, while Joe’s plan for revenge against Crowley and Kim’s ambitions imply ongoing tension in Emmerdale's plot.
