Emmerdale viewers ‘work out’ real identity of Aaron Dingle’s new love interest
Aaron Dingle has confirmed a potential new romance during the latest Emmerdale episode and viewers are now convinced his love interest is related to the Sugden family.
Emmerdale viewers are speculating that Aaron Dingle, played by Danny Miller, is communicating with John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) via a dating app. In Tuesday’s episode of the ITV soap (August 6), Aaron seemed preoccupied as Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) shared information about her new job.
As Victoria detailed how Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) had offered her a position at his shop after deliberately getting her sacked from The Hide, Aaron appeared distracted.
“I can’t afford to be unemployed again,” Victoria said as Aaron typed away on his mobile. “Excuse me, my life is falling apart over here but if you have got more interesting things to deal with”, she added as Aaron put his phone away.
Later, as Aaron and Victoria were discussing Eric over tea, his phone beeped again.

Victoria snatched the phone to reveal a dating app and remarked: “Thought you would’ve given up on them after what happened last time, you were robbed.”, reports the Express.
Aaron quickly replied: “Yes I know, but maybe this time I’ll be a bit luckier,” before adding: “It’s quicker than hanging around in a load of bars. Innit?”.
He didn’t divulge any further details about his new potential love interest, but fans are suspecting it’s John Sugden who is set to make an appearance in the village soon.
John is introduced when Victoria accompanies Eric to a funeral of an old friend when his car breaks down. However, upon their arrival at the church, Victoria inadvertently causes a stir with the grieving son at his mother’s funeral.
She is taken aback when she learns his name is John Sugden. Later, Eric awkwardly reveals that John could potentially be her half-brother and the son of her late father, Jack Sugden.
In an unexpected turn of events, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) receives a call about a nearby breakdown back in the village, and it turns out to be John, who has just arrived.
Speculating about Aaron and John’s potential romance, one person wrote on X: “Aaron probably meets John on this app I’m guessing! #emmerdale.”

A second stated: “Aaron’s going to get with John and then realise he’s a Sugden, isn’t he? #emmerdale.” A third added: “#Emmerdale So this new guy coming in tomorrow is that Aaron new boyfriend.”
“John Sugden comes to #Emmerdale He’s probably going to a) get with Aaron and b) be the next serial killer. It’s been 5 minutes since the last one”, added another.
