Andrea Tate

Andrea Tate is the wife of Jamie Tate and mother of his daughter, Millie Tate.

Pre-2019: Deal with Graham
As Jamie's mother, Kim Tate, was set to prison around 2012, she tasked Graham Foster to look after him. However, when he was in a bad place he hired Andrea, who at the time was working as a barmaid at the pub he frequently visited, to do so for him by getting close to Jamie and report his movements back to him. However, after six months she would stop reporting back to him and they lost all contact, as Andrea had genuinely fallen for Jamie. Jamie remained gleefully unaware of the situation and the pair married and had a daughter, Millie.

2019-present: Arrival in Emmerdale
Andrea and Millie arrived in Emmerdale in early June 2019. She first runs into Jamie's mother, Kim, who is shocked to realise they are Jamie's wife and daughter. Kim remained hostile towards Andrea but reluctantly allowed them to move in with her at Home Farm. Kim eventually finds out about the arrangement between Andrea and Graham and confronts her. Jamie is still blissfully unaware of the arrangement and despite Kim’s belief that Andrea is after Jamie’s money, Andrea insists that the wealth is of no interest to her, she loves him. However, Andra realises she has to be honest to Jamie and 12th June, informed a stunned Jamie how Graham paid her to keep an eye on him whilst Kim was in prison. Andrea begs Jamie not to let this ruin what they've got but Jamie feels like they've been living a lie. Jamie insists Andrea should've told him about it a long time ago but Andrea states she didn't want to ruin what they had and assures him she loves him and vows to win back his trust.

Graham attempts to bribe Andrea to leave Jamie but instead, she shows Jamie the money and later Kim attempts to make Andrea leave by suggesting there is something between Jamie and his college, Rhona Goskirk. However, she talks to Jamie and when Andrea comments this place is bad for them, Jamie insists it's Kim that's bad so they'll need to deal with her once and for all. Andrea and Jamie created an elaborate plan and roped in Rhona to gain Kim's shares in the veterinary practice. She initially falls for it, but realises what the two are up to via a call by Millie where they confess the whole thing, unaware Kim is hearing the conversation.
