John Sugden’s dark past continues to cast a shadow over Emmerdale. He has already murdered his husband Aaron Dingle’s (Danny Miller) cousin, Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter), and disposed of Anthony Fox’s (Nicholas Day) body.
His actions have also indirectly caused serious harm to others, including Jacob Gallagher suffering an anaphylactic shock and Chas Dingle overdosing.
This week, John and Aaron are set to bid farewell to the villagers as they plan a fresh start, though in the world of soaps, happy endings are rarely guaranteed.
John’s True Identity?
A popular fan theory circulating among Emmerdale enthusiasts questions whether John is truly a Sugden.
Recent spoilers hint that Aaron will start growing suspicious of his husband in upcoming episodes.
While details remain under wraps, Aaron’s discoveries are expected to lead him to confront John about deceit, potentially uncovering a significant and troubling history.
Emmerdale Odds: Is John Really Actually Part Of The Sudgen Family
| Answer | Odds |
|---|---|
| Yes | 4/6 |
| No | 6/4 |
John’s dark past doesn’t end with his previous murders—he also holds a secret recording of Aaron’s ex, Robert Sugden, attacking him. The footage reportedly shows the fight started after John attempted to strangle Robert.
Recent spoilers from Emmerdale show Aaron holding a photo frame, sparking widespread fan speculation about John’s true identity. Many viewers now believe John may be living under a fake identity and is not a genuine Sugden.
Betting apps currently price the chance that John is not a Sugden at 4/6, lending strong support to this long-running fan theory.
John Set To Make A Run For It
John’s storyline has been building gradually, but it intensifies this week, culminating in Thursday night’s hour-long Emmerdale special.
According to The Sun, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) is set to meet a grim fate after uncovering a “chilling discovery” about John.
During Wednesday’s episode, Mack stumbles upon a photo album showing John alongside the removal man who transported Nate’s belongings to Shetland. The scrapbook identifies the man as Ben (Jacob Anderton) and describes him and John as “Brothers in Arms,” adding another layer of intrigue to John’s story.
Spoiler alert: viewers of Thursday’s hour-long Emmerdale episode saw John confront Mackenzie Boyd after Mack discovers the photo. John ominously tells Mack it would have been “better” if he hadn’t seen it, while Mack admits he knows John is responsible for Nate’s death.
The tension escalates into a dramatic Robin Hood-style moment, with John grabbing a bow and arrow and narrowly missing Mack. What unfolds next is intense and visually gripping, and could signal another turning point in John’s storyline—potentially his undoing.
In Soapland, even the most villainous characters eventually face consequences. John’s string of crimes suggests his reckoning is imminent—but how will it happen?
Betting odds have him as a slight favourite to flee the village without Aaron at 11/10, while leaving with Aaron is 2/1. Both outcomes leave the door open for John to potentially return and stir up more chaos in the future.
John To Meet His Creator
Emmerdale viewers may not be ready to see John simply escape with his bow and arrow in tow.
Despite having a few admirers in the village, his dark deeds have earned him many enemies. Betting odds suggest Robert is the favourite to bring John down for good, priced at 6/4.
John’s downfall could also open the door for a reunion with his ex, Aaron, potentially reigniting the beloved Robron storyline.
Odds indicate a 3/1 chance that Aaron could turn on John, while some fans speculate that Anthony might not be dead and could return to exact revenge, priced at 4/1.
Cain is also in the running to seek justice for his son Nate’s murder, with odds of 6/1. Speaking in The Woolpack, he warned about his late son’s killer: “If they are still out there, they’d better pray the police get to them before I do.”
