WHOLE LOTTA HISTORY

In Emmerdale when Joe and Robert were arguing recently, Robert referred to Joe’s mum as “a slag who slept with my dad”. I don’t even remember who Joe’s mum was – what’s the story there?

| Lauren, London Joe’s mum was Rachel Hughes – she had an affair with Chris Tate (while he was married to his first wife Kathy) which is when she fell pregnant with Joe. A few years later, Rachel had another affair with a married man – Robert’s dad, Jack. But Jack came to his senses and opted to stay with his wife Sarah.

Poor Joe – a mum who’s sunburnt and a dad who dresses like Hugh Hefner
