Killer John twist in early Emmerdale ITVX streaming release as he seeks help
John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) isn't coping in Emmerdale and tonight, he tried to get some help.
The complex character is struggling as a result of trying to keep a number of secrets hidden. The most prominent one on his mind at the moment is Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) murder.
John is attempting to support the likes of Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) and Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) as the investigation continues, all while trying to ensure the police don't grow suspicious of him.
On top of this, John is also hiding the fact he has orchestrated a variety of dangerous situations involving other residents in the village, just so he could swoop in and save them.
In tonight's episode, it became apparent that John hadn't slept very well again. His yawning was picked up on by Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker), who insisted John should have a chat with her over lunch.
John told Manpreet that he's terribly stressed at the moment, and is also receiving texts from Tracy all the time. Tracy noted a few days ago that John is the only person who seems to be supporting her at the moment, but she doesn't know her constant messaging is making his guilt increase.
Manpreet told John that Tracy should consider speaking to someone, to take the pressure off him a little. She handed him a leaflet for a company called Guardians, which is essentially the Emmerdale equivalent of Samaritans. More Trending
At the flat though, John rang the number and a volunteer picked up. He started talking about feeling overwhelmed, and said that he keeps having one particular nightmare.

The volunteer encouraged John to open up further, and he ended up revealing that his nightmare sees him trapped in a massive house with loads of rooms. Whenever he tries to leave, he enters a room with a puzzle that he needs to solve.
The character started to struggle more as the call went on, and he ended up cutting it off.
Heading through to the kitchen, John made a discovery about Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), and it's most certainly going to increase his stress levels in the coming days.

BBC EastEnders star breaks silence after on-screen soap exit
Clair Norris, who played the role of Bernadette (Bernie) Taylor, saw her final scenes air last night (July 1). The actress' exit marks the final nail in the coffin for the Taylor family, who have now all left the show. Breaking her silence on the exit, she said the role, which she first took on in 2017, was the "best" and that it "changed my life". Bernie left on screen alongside her cousin, Felix Baker, after a theft storyline played out. It was revealed Bernie had been stealing from the Panesars, and despite them trying to catch her in the act, she was already planning to leave to avoid facing any consequences. After packing her bags, she and Felix left in a taxi to leave Walford. Following the exit playing out on screen, Norris took to social media to post a heartfelt message and goodbye to EastEnders. She said: "My last ep airs tonight and with that comes a flood of memories. "EastEnders was my first audition, and my first job. Having come from college and having no experience in this industry, Julia, Wayne and Sean all took a chance on me to play Bernadette Taylor and for that, I can't be thankful enough. "Eight years later and honestly, this job has changed my life. A post shared by Clair Hayley Norris (@clair_norris) "It's true what they all said at the beginning, EastEnders is one big family & I'm so lucky to have met and worked with some amazing people. "I will always have an attachment to Bernie, she represents so many girls out there who wear their hearts of their sleeves and don't quite fit in…no offence to anyone who wears purple coats. "I have adored playing her and she will forever hold a special place in my heart. This has been the best first role ever." A number of EastEnders co-stars have wished the actress well after posting her farewell message on social media. Lorraine Stanley, who played Bernie's mum Karen Taylor in the BBC soap from 2017 to 2024, said: "It was an honour to play your Mum. You're Amazing!!. "Wishing you all the best! Love you lots." Goodbye Clair and Bernie! Always bringing both the tears and the laughter, she's been a brilliant resident of Albert Square - we'll miss you dearly! ❤️ #EastEnders Balvinder Sopal, who plays Suki Panesar-Unwin, said: "An absolute honour to have shared the screen with you, Claire. You are phenomenal!!. "Here's to you and all the brilliant things about to come your way." Navin Chowdhry, who is Nish Panesar, said: "You've been brilliant Claire! What an exciting journey ahead!!" Molly is not the only star to leave the show this year. Bobby Brazier is leaving popular BBC soap EastEnders after four years. Molly Rainford, known for playing Queen Vic barmaid Anna Knight on the BBC soap, will also be leaving. One of the biggest departures of the year was Natalie Cassidy, who played Sonia Fowler in EastEnders, and left the show after 32 years. Recommended reading: Speaking about her exit, she said: 'It felt very final but also very good. It's a nice place to leave Sonia after so much has happened to her. 'Sonia feels like she's never going to live down what happened with Reiss, so the only thing to do is leave the Square. 'I'm never going to say goodbye to her because, after 32 years, Sonia is ingrained in me. So, while I'm saying goodbye on screen, for now, Sonia is always there, knocking about!'

Rhyller Thriller 3: What to expect from 2025 film festival
Tickets are on sale now for the event, which will this time be held at Rhyl Little Theatre, and which will include film screenings and Q&As with filmmakers and actors. You can find tickets here: Ahead of next month's event, Chad Jones, who was 'born and bred in Rhyl' and founded Rhyller Thriller, has spoken about his love of horror and cinema, and of his hometown. Rhyller Thriller's director Chad Jones with son Isaac. (Image: Submitted) 'My earliest memories of horror are watching films with my mum—she was the one who introduced me to the genre that would end up shaping my life. 'Despite Rhyl having a rich cinematic history - Arthur Cheetham, one of the UK's earliest filmmakers, was based here - there weren't many opportunities to learn about or get involved in filmmaking locally. 'I always wanted to become a filmmaker, but with few paths available, I ended up working in my dad's tattoo studio, which I now run. 'Things started to change in 2019 when I discovered Wicked Wales, a group bringing film screenings to Rhyl. 'I began volunteering with them and was eventually given the chance to run my own horror nights - Frightening Fridays. They went down really well. 'I shared my dream of becoming a director with Andy and Rhiannon from Wicked Wales, and to my surprise, they said: 'Well, write something - let's make a film!' 'So, I wrote Mari Lwyd, and it was an incredible experience. After that, I pitched the idea of a horror film festival in Rhyl. 'Rhiannon simply said: 'Why not make it two days?' - and just like that, Rhyller Thriller was born.' Actors Spencer Wilding and Simon Bamford at a previous Rhyller Thriller festival (Image: Submitted) 'My friend Tom Rowlands, who's now co-owner of the festival, came up with the name, and off we went. 'I had no idea how to get films or guests, so I just followed my gut - ADHD often takes the lead there! 'I reached out to Simon Bamford (Butterball from Hellraiser), and to my shock, he said yes. 'He was our first ever guest and remains one of the nicest, most generous people I've ever met. 'I also invited Dominic Brunt, best known as Paddy from Emmerdale, but to me, a brilliant horror director. 'He not only came along but screened his latest film Wolf Manor and did a Q&A hosted by my good friend (and Rhyller Thriller crew member) Jason Jones. 'That first year, we screened Hellraiser, the Welsh-language horror Gwledd with writer Roger Williams, Tales of the Creeping Death with John Williams, The House of Horace with Edward Evers-Swindell, and The Hounds of Darkness with Peter Mckeirnon. 'We had a small upstairs market, guest panels, signings, and Q&As throughout the weekend. The response was amazing - we brought people and attention to the town I love.' 'After a much-needed week of sleep, I started planning Rhyller Thriller 2. By then, I'd left Wicked Wales and set the festival up as its own not-for-profit project. 'I knew I couldn't do it alone, so Tom Rowlands officially joined the team, and along with Jason, we kept the momentum going. Chad Jones and Tomos Rowlands of Rhyller Thriller (Image: Submitted) 'For year two, we focused on writer/director Neil Marshall. We invited him - he said yes. We secured the rights to Dog Soldiers and The Descent and also welcomed Craig Conway (star of both) and Janine Pipe, author of a book on Dog Soldiers. All three joined us for a Q&A. 'Due to funding limitations, year two was a one-day event - but we sold out. 'We expanded the market downstairs and welcomed over 300 people through the doors. We also screened The Pocketbook of Superstitions, Artifacts of Fear, and a brilliant lineup of shorts. 'We introduced the 'Bloody Seagull Award' for Best Short Film, which went to Wilderness. Once again, the event was well received—and once again, we needed another week of sleep!' A promotional poster for Rhyller Thriller 3 (Image: Submitted) 'Which brings us to this year: Rhyller Thriller 3. We're now in one of my favourite buildings in town - Rhyl's Little Theatre. We're back to two full days of horror. 'Day two is dedicated to the Godfather of Gore, Lucio Fulci, one of my all-time favourite directors. 'Although Fulci passed away in 1996, we're honoured to welcome two incredible guests from his legacy: legendary screenwriter Dardano Sacchetti, who penned many of Fulci's classics, and Cinzia Monreale, star of The Beyond. 'Together, we'll be hosting a Q&A after screening Fulci's Gates of Hell Trilogy. But that's not all. 'We're also joined by Welsh director Julian Richards, who made Darklands—often called the Welsh Wicker Man - and actor Laurence R. Harvey, star of The Human Centipede 2, who appears in the new Amicus production In the Grip of Terror, which we're thrilled to be screening. 'We're also showing The Beast of Riverside Hollow with our friend, director John Williams, the anime horror classic Akira, and a wild Estonian horror musical called The Chainsaws Were Singing. 'Our short film showcase, Little Drops of Horror, will feature 20+ short films from around the world. 'The market returns with 11 amazing horror vendors bringing their best merch to our beloved seaside town.' 'I'm just a small-town lad with a big love for film, trying to inspire others to chase their dreams and to support the place they come from. 'At Rhyller Thriller, our motto is: building community, one scream at a time. Because to us, it's not just about the films. It's about people, about mental health, about connection. 'That's why we visit schools to show films and run monthly screenings. We believe no one should feel alone—and we believe cinema can bring us together.'
