Fans of the long-running soap believe Sugden could finally be caught out by an Emmerdale icon.
Viewers of popular soap Emmerdale think that they may have figured out how murderer John Sugden will finally be caught out. Observant fans think a Dales legend may be the one to bring John to justice.
John Sugden (played by Oliver Farnworth) arrived on the soap back in August 2024, where he was first introduced as the brother of Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins). He quickly emerged as a villain, and was notably responsible for killing Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter) after last year's barn fire, and dumping his body in a lake.
‌
Sugden also spiked Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) in an attempt to frame Ella Forster (Paula Lane), and induced a severe allergic reaction in Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant), reports Bristol Live. Eight months after the infamous barn fire, the village was recently shook by the news of Nate's death after his body was pulled out of the lake.
‌
Dales Detectives were initially suspicious of Nate's father, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), after discovering that he had a huge argument with Nate before he disappeared.
Nate's wife, Tracy Robinson (Amy Walsh) has since been under suspicion, after John planted Nate's phone in her daughter Frankie's (Eden Ratcliffe-Knights) playhouse.
On one of last week's episodes, a grieving Cain got drunk on a bottle of strong alcohol that his father, Zak (Steve Halliwell), had brewed before his death.
John then noticed Cain stumbling around the village drunk and quickly made him his next target.
The Emmerdale villain took Cain home and encouraged him to drink heavily until he collapsed on the floor, with John rushing to "save" him just as Moira (Natalie J Robb) walked through the door.
John told Moira that he had taken Cain home to keep an eye on him after he'd drank a dangerous amount of alcohol in secret.
‌
"To think what could of happened if you hadn't of been here, John. You saved him... You're a hero, and a real-life one at that. Thank you," Moira said, unaware of the true role John had played.
Now, several Emmerdale fans believe that beady-eyed Moira might have already clocked on to John's behaviour after noticing two glasses on the table, suggesting that he was involved in getting Cain drunk.
‌
"John said he found Cain drinking. Did Moira not notice two glasses on the table," one person wrote on a Facebook fan page.
Another added: "Ooo yes Moira could be hiding what she knows about John," while a third said: "Surely Moira noticed the two scotch glasses and will take John down finally."
‌
Meanwhile, a fourth viewer believed that a different villager could reveal John's crimes: "I think Liam is starting to get suspicious noticing that John is always there to save someone just when it's needed.
"He's starting to put two and two together once he finds out what happened with Cain."
