Tate has been deeply affected psychologically by the trauma and it left fans in tears seeing him in such a mess.

In season three fans saw the relationship develop between Tate and his grandfather, John Dutton (Kevin Costner).

In one of the episodes Tate's dad realised how much time John had been spending with him.

One fan said: "#JohnDutton is a complicated character, yet he has a particular affection for #Tate.

"He simply wants to enjoy life, especially since season two, very hectic in terms of his health and the kidnapping of Tate."

Tate was seen in episode eight of season three, titled I Killed A Man Today, and it is yet to be revealed whether he will make it through the last two episodes.

Episode nine will air on Sunday, August 16, and the episode will focus on the fate of Teeter (played by Jen Landon) and Colby (Denim Richards).

Nothing has been mentioned about Tate in the preview for the next episode, so it seems nothing major will happen to him.

As he has already been through such an ordeal, it is unlikely he will find himself in more trouble before the end of the season.

Fans have high hopes for his character and they feel he could be the one to save the ranch.

One fan said on Twitter: "My Yellowstone prediction is John Dutton works out a deal to leave the land to the tribe when he dies. Gives Tate the land and protects it from development."

Another fan said: "#JohnDutton is a man of his word... Tate/Monica may play big role with the Ranch going back to Native Americans."

Young actor Merrill came into the spotlight after his first appearance on Yellowstone in season one.

Speaking to Paramount Network about his favourite Tate Dutton moments, he said: "It's really fun riding horses, I actually have a specific horse I like to ride.

"He thinks his dad is a superhero, he thinks he is the strongest person on Earth and he really loves his dad."

He said one of his favourite scenes was with Grimes, when he threw a fish in the face of Lee Dutton (Dave Annable).

The young star has been praised by his co-stars, including Kelsey Chow as Monica, who said: "My scenes with him are probably my favourite."
