Emmerdale's Belle Dingle has made a breakthrough about Nate in Thursday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Having decided to look into Nate's "disappearance", Belle Dingle's been on the case.

The wedding planner has become convinced that there's something fishy about Nate's out-of-character vanishing act.

She's right, of course, as the dad has been murdered by John Sugden who then lobbed his body in the lake hoping that would be the end of that.

But the Dingles have started to worry about Nate who seemingly turned his back on his ex, Tracy, and their daughter Frankie when he moved away to start work in Shetland.

So imagine how John feels when Belle discovers that her nephew never made it to Shetland where he'd been given a job on a wind farm.

As John is plagued by flashbacks of the moment he unwittingly killed Nate months ago, Belle vows to act on her discovery.

How will panicked John stop Belle from taking this further?

John's got other problems to sort too.

Aaron's gutted as Mack – who's been blamed for the slurry leak that John caused – has told him he can't be his best man.

Elsewhere, having been told she might have cancer, Sarah's struggling to cope.

At Butler's, Ross and Mack start cooking up a dodgy plan in a bid to save the failing family farm.
