Joseph "Joe" Sugden was a fictional character in the popular soap opera Emmerdale, played by Frazer Hines.
Joe was regarded as a ladies man during his time in the village, being married twice, firstly to Christine Sharp and then to Kate Hughes. After stepson Mark was killed in the 1993 plane crash, Joe sank into a deep depression and after a feeble attempt at suicide moved to Spain permanently in August 1994. Joe was killed off off-screen in a car accident after leaving Jack, Sarah and the kids back to the airport after they had been out to visit Annie in Spain. Annie and Amos returned to the series for Joe's funeral.
