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.."

Love Island loophole allowing dumped stars to return as angry fans 'call Ofcom'
Fans of the ITV2 dating show Love Island have discovered a loophole that allows dumped Islanders to be brought back if bosses choose to do so. m Love Island fans have threatened to 'call Ofcom' as they discovered a loophole that could help bosses bring back stars who have been voted off. It comes after the shock revelation that dumped Islanders Megan and Blu would be making their way back to the villa just days before the final, even though Megan was voted off by the public and Blu was dumped by his fellow Islanders. Viewers were outraged to discover a clause in ITV's terms and conditions for the dating show which claimed that producers will be able to bring back a Islander despite the vote. The clause that reads: "The producers of the Programme may in their discretion reintroduce an Islander seen in earlier stages of the competition who was previously evicted. The Programme producers' decision will be final. " And when the clause surfaced on social media, angry viewers weighed in with as they claimed that the government-approved regulatory and competition authority for broadcasting must be informed. One wrote: "Ofcom must hear of this!! Them bringing Megan back despite the reason she was dumped, defies the agreement of the public vote + coming back at this stage, she's almost guaranteed a spot in that final. It's unfair." Another claimed it could spell the end of the progamme, as they said: "Once they start doing it, it's the beginning of the end of the format. Nobody will care who is dumped if they just choose to bring them back." However, another user pointed out that this is not the first time that any of this has happened, as they referenced the fact that Mike Thalassitis and Sam Gowland made a similar sort of comeback in 2017, which, at the time, left then-contestant Olivia Attwood in particular in shock. But in appearing to justify the decision behind the voting clauses, one user said: "Love island barely has a strict format as it is, I don't know what people expect here," whilst another. Another clause explains to viewers that any new sort of voting format can be introduced at any time, insisting: "Throughout the Programme, the Promoter reserves the right to introduce any other votes in a format which will be announced in the Programme including but not limited to a vote by the public for islanders they would like to see coupled up, as indicated in the Programme, the app and/or website. " Just ahead of her return, Megan expressed her anticipation, saying: "I'm excited to go back in, I think I left quite abruptly and I'm going back in for some clarity. It was an easy decision to make. When you can't speak to people for a couple of weeks and have to watch them on telly every night, you want some answers." Megan had just struck up a connection with Conor before being booted out of the villa. She left alongside Remell last month after she was voted as one of the least popular contestants - however, she's back for another chance. After Megan left, Conor connected with a number of Islanders but nothing seemed to work. He brought back Harry's ex Emma from Casa Amor, but things didn't work out. He'd been friends with Shakira from the start - and the two later explored a connection. She then broke things off with Casa Amor's Ty to pursue things with Conor. The news came after Emma and Boris were brutally dumped from the Island. It came after Maya Jama crashed the Love Island festival to deliver the news of the public vote. It was revealed that Yasmin and Toni and Cach and Ty had received the most votes. And on Wednesday night, viewers were left fuming as just one day that another dumping would place .An important decision had to be made as a third star was revealed to be leaving. A vote had revealed the favourite Islanders by fans, and those viewers were not keen on. Yasmin, Ty, Toni and Cach left with a huge decision in their hands. Being the favourites, it was up to them who else left the show, and it was between new bombshell Angel and Billykiss. They understandably found it a tough choice, conflicted over who to pick as they discussed it between them. They did come to a decision in the end though, and ultimately it was Billykiss who was dumped. Angel was saved ahead of the double return to the villa made by Megan and Blu. Viewers watching at home were furious with the latest dumping, with her popular amongst fans of the show. Fans had hoped Billykiss would have stayed in the villa, with many shocked she was even in the bottom. Angel also came as a surprise to some fans given other Islanders that fans are not so keen on. Taking to social media, fans fumed about the exit, with one fan saying: "Billykiss has been done so dirty." Angel also came as a surprise to some fans given other Islanders that fans are not so keen on. Taking to social media, fans fumed about the exit, with one fan saying: "Billykiss has been done so dirty." Another fan said: "Okay, so Billykiss is leaving? Dang!!" as a third viewer posted: "Wait but what has Billykiss done to you guys?" Another viewer said: "I feel so bad for Billykiss."
