There could be another serial killer lurking in Emmerdale village if a fan theory is anything to go by.
Fans are convinced a number of upcoming incidents could all be tied together in a devastating twist, with a killer amongst the villagers. A flashforward recently teased an icy car crash or stunt, someone flatlining, a funeral, a body being dumped and another character being chased through the woods.
Ever since John Sugden arrived in the ITV soap late last year, fans believed he was hiding something dark. Many viewers have been convinced he may have killed someone, and now a serial killer theory has been linked to Victoria’s brother.
John, who is in a relationship with Aaron Dingle, is tipped to be the soap’s next big murderer, with fans wondering if he will target a number of characters. Might he be linked to the looming tragedies about to hit the village, and might he cause the confirmed and teased deaths?
We know that Leyla Harding is set to be killed off, while Wendy Posner and Brenda Walker are also leaving. Fans are also expecting further departures due to the flashforward hints.

We have Caleb Miligan in harm’s way, Mackenzie Boyd possibly in danger and Cain Dingle mourning a character. So is John about to target villagers in a killer twist?
After months of speculation, Anthony Fox’s looming murder next week, of which Aaron is a suspect with, has left fans convinced John is the killer – and he might kill others. One fan said online: “Don’t worry, secret serial killer, John Sugden finds out and murders Anthony next week.”
Another viewer posted: “I hope John is a serial killer,” as a third fan commented: “He’ll be the next serial killer.” After the flashforward twist, one fan suggested: “Do we have a potential serial killer coming in? Is the bodybag their first victim and then Caleb, Mack and the person under the ice are the next targets?”
A further post read: “I still think John is a serial killer.” The theory first formed when John was hiding the identity of a man named Aidan Moore. While the truth about Aidan’s death soon came out, fans were sure he had murdered him. So when Nate Robinson vanished in weird scenes last year, fans were sure he killed him too after he was the last person to feature in a scene with him – while Nate is seemingly alive and well in Shetland.
