Emmerdale fans 'rumble' Jade's 'true' identity in huge Rebecca twist

Emmerdale: Ross gets threatened by Jade

Emmerdale enthusiasts are convinced they've cracked the mystery behind new arrival Jade (Twinnie-Lee Moore), with a growing number suspecting she might hold the clue to Rebecca's (Emily Head) whereabouts.

In the latest episodes, viewers witnessed Jade blackmailing Ross Barton (Michael Parr) and Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) into an illicit fight for cash. Despite Billy emerging victorious in their initial fight, Jade showed no signs of backing down.

In Tuesday's instalment, Jade resorted to violence, instructing one of her cronies to deliver a gut punch to Ross and strong-armed him into agreeing to a second fight against Billy.

"You could have just returned my call," Ross quipped, to which Jade retorted: "I thought you'd prefer a more personal touch."

Suffering from the blow, Ross stood his ground: "Like I said in my text, I am not up for a comeback fight," reports Leeds Live.

Undeterred, Jade pressed on with her intimidation: "I lost big on that fight, you and Billy owe me," she insisted. "I want it back with interest so there will be a rematch."

As Ross voiced concerns about fighting again due to his son, Jade didn't flinch: "Look, you fight, and she [Charity] will stay pretty, and so will that cute kid of yours."

Reaffirming her threatening stance, she declared: "I have got a reputation to maintain."

The drama reached a boiling point when Jade showed up at Billy's doorstep later in the episode, holding his family's safety over his head to coerce him into the rematch.

"Just show up and fight," she demanded of Billy. "I would hate to take your wife to a crack den and whether reacquainted but needs must, but come to think of it, your kids would make a much easier target."

Ever since Jade stepped foot in the village, Emmerdale enthusiasts have been abuzz with speculation about her 'true' identity. Some suspect she might be entwined with Rebecca's narrative, who Ross had seemingly confirmed had died.

A certain fan shared their hunch on a Facebook group devoted to the show, posting: "Maybe Jade's got her hiding somewhere because Ross didn't play to her rules?"

Another fan concurred: "I thought the same."

Some viewers are sceptical of Rebecca's demise. A devotee pointed out, "Rebecca's death isn't on the death list on the fandom page. I've just looked, so maybe she isn't dead after all."

Adding to the intrigue, another chimed in: "I think she is going to rock up at some point," while one more added confidently, "Don't worry, Victoria Marple is on the case."

A fellow supporter echoed: "Nosey Victoria will find out."

Moreover, a different viewer questioned the plausibility of the storyline: "If she was dead for months, why would her phone have a battery and still be ringing after six months of being inactive? It cuts off."

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV.
