Emmerdale fans ask 'how' as they point out problem with Tracy's sudden return and predict heartbreak

Emmerdale fans witnessed a kidnap and a wedding all in the space of 30 minutes as they tuned in to watch their first visit to the Dales of the week. Viewers of the ITV soap have been suspicious of Nate Robinson as he snuck around and claimed he'd be looking after his daughter, Frankie, for a long time.

As fans know, Nate's ex-fiancee Tracy Metcalfe left the village with their little girl to start a new job in Nottingham before meeting a new partner after Nate cheated on her. However, during Monday night's episode of Emmerdale (July 3), the pair were seen saying 'I do' in a surprise makeshift ceremony after an action-packed turn of events.

After hearing Nate was heading to the town hall, Moira and Cain Dingle feared he was about to fight for custody of his daughter after Nicola King put two and two together and assumed that's what was going on. Getting to the town hall, Moira and Cain saw a wedding dress-clad Tracy making her way up the steps and planting a kiss on another man's cheek.

Thinking they were trying the knot, Moira and Cain saw Nate with a suit in his car and sprung into action as they thought he was about to try and stop Tracy from marrying another man.

Cain grabbed Nate, knocked him unconscious, and threw him in the back of their van before he and Moira drove off back to the village. Awoken from his daze, a furious Nate asked why they had brought him back home. In no rush to explain the truth, Nate eventually told them it was his wedding day and if they had ruined it, he won't forgive them.

Maire and Cain were suitably stunned as they followed Nate towards the bus stop as he tried to get back to the town hall.
