ITV Emmerdale's John Sugden's next victim 'confirmed' in chilling murder twist
Emmerdale 's recent episode, which aired on Monday, May 27, was packed with drama as John Sugden and Aaron Dingle's wedding saga got underway. Fans will recall that Aaron is still unaware of the heinous acts committed by his soon-to-be husband John.
These include last year's murder of Nate Robinson and the subsequent hiding of his body in the lake, framing Ella Forster by terrorising Chas Dingle. He further left fans furious masterminding the slurry leak at Butlers Farm to implicate Mack Boyd, and the truth about his comatose ex-partner Aidan Moore.
In the week ahead on the ITV soap, there's set to be more drama as the wedding unfolds. However Monday's episode already had mounting tension for the couple.
In the latest episode, it was the wedding day and John was haunted by nightmares of being apprehended for Nate's murder while he and sister Victoria Sugden were getting ready for his nuptials with Aaron, reports Leicestershire Live.
However, John's anxiety escalated when he overheard Cain Dingle mention that the dredging in the lake where he disposed of Nate's body had commenced due to the farm 's slurry leak, which he orchestrated.
John decided to make a run for it from the village but was caught packing by Aaron, who reassured him it was nothing but the usual and expected pre-wedding nerves.
Once Aaron left, John attempted to leave again, stopping by the lake where he overheard that the dredging had been called off. With the realisation that his secret was safe for the time being, John confirmed he would proceed with the wedding.
The drama escalated up a notch in the latest episode when Cathleen, Aidan's mother, made a sudden appearance with earth-shattering news, her son had emerged from his coma and was calling for John, insisting they rush to the hospital at once.
However, Cathleen was left astonished to discover that John had moved on with his life and was poised to wed another after a mere three years. She expressed her disbelief, stating: "The first thing Aidan said when he woke up was your name, it's you he needs!".
To reinforce her point she declared, "So I am going to stand here making all the noise I want until you do the decent thing and help my boy..." leaving viewers on a knife-edge as chilling music marked the end of the episode.
Soap fans took to Twitter following the episode, buzzing with theories that John might be brewing another sinister plot, potentially targeting Cathleen next.
Tweets flooded in with predictions such as: "I think he'll bump her off", while others chimed in with "She be the next one in the lake" and "I reckon he will kill her", leading another viewer to ominously suggest, "His next victim.."

Cooking shows get the chop as controversies leave a bitter taste
For years they have been the toast of television: mouth-wateringly wholesome fun, cheap to make and often a sure-fire ratings hit. But new data, coupled with a string of high-profile controversies, suggest cookery shows are starting to leave a bitter taste with producers as the number of food and drink programmes commissioned by major broadcasters begins to plummet. In February, allegations of inappropriate behaviour involving the celebrity TV chef Gino D'Acampo and spanning more than 12 years became public, forcing ITV to drop all forthcoming shows featuring the star. In recent weeks, MasterChef became mired in controversy and, while the future of the show is secure, BBC bosses are hunting for two new presenters after they opted against renewing the contracts of Gregg Wallace and John Torode amid allegations of misconduct. Separately, Nadiya Husain, a BBC cooking stalwart, has criticised the broadcaster after it terminated its long run of 14 shows with her since she won The Great British Bake Off in 2015. 'The BBC has decided that it didn't want to commission the show, and I suppose for me that was a huge turning point because it's something I have done for past ten years,' she said. Now, an analysis of the sector by Broadcast Intelligence, a service offered by the TV industry magazine, has revealed that only 12 shows have been ordered over the first seven months of the year, down from 42 last year and a high of 100 in 2019. Though forthcoming shows being made include Jamie Oliver's Eat Yourself Healthy for Channel 4 and a second serving of Tom Kerridge's Secrets of the Pub Kitchen for Food Network, producers say that the well worn 'chop and chat' format is coming to an end. 'Traditional recipe shows have been 'eaten' by TikTok,' said one producer. Others noted that the number of shows being commissioned by broadcasters is down across the board, with cookery shows a casualty of wider declines, despite the ongoing draw of food programming. 'People are lazy and don't know how to cook but continue to watch them as a form of escapism,' said Steven D Wright, a veteran producer. He said there was a desire among commissioners to 'reinvent' cookery show beyond traditional competitions, how-to shows and food-based travelogues. 'There's a bit of navel-gazing going on at the moment. These shows are bankers for a reason — because audiences like people making delicious food in a lovely setting — but they have changed shape,' he said. 'Do we need any more Mary Berrys or Nigellas doing pieces to camera?' Plans to reinvigorate food programming are, however, under way with ambitious forthcoming food formats include a Michelin-star themed documentary for Apple TV+ and a Harry Potter-inspired format for Warner Bros Discovery. Apple TV's Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars is executive produced by Gordon Ramsay and will follow Jesse Burgess, the co-founder and presenter of social media brand Topjaw. In the eight-part series Burgess will follow the fates of elite chefs at some of the world's most celebrated restaurants to determine if they will win, maintain or lose their precious Michelin star. Warner Bros Discovery's cookery competition Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking has been given a second series, following a debut run that reached more than 16 million viewers globally following its launch in November. The show aired on Amazon Prime in the UK and featured James and Oliver Phelps, who played Fred and George Weasley in the films, as they tasked nine teams of pastry chefs and cake artists with crafting edible showpieces inspired by moments and themes from the Potter universe.
