ITV Emmerdale John Sugden’s sinister secret ‘exposed’ as fans spot chilling clue
Emmerdale's John Sugden has only been in the village a matter of days, but fans are already convinced the newcomer is hiding a dark secret - and it looks like they could be right
Emmerdale newbie John Sugden’s (Oliver Farnworth) sinister secret has been revealed, according to fans. The long-lost son of Jack Sugden (Clive Hornby) made a bombshell arrival last week and it didn’t take long for him to make an impression on the village residents.
Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) ended up getting steamy with John not knowing he was the brother of his ex-husband Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley). Both were left shocked when they found out the truth.
What’s more, Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) was also stunned by the arrival of John, as she had no idea she had another sibling. However, towards the end of the week, John clashed with Aaron and pal Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) who were determined to teach him a lesson.

During Monday’s episode (August 12) Aaron and Mack put their plan into motion. The pair ended up stealing John’s beloved van from the garage before dumping it in a lake.
When he found out, John was livid. However, fans are certain that John is hiding a huge secret, and during the episode, the ITV soap appeared to confirm it, reports the Manchester Evening News.

After realising his van had been dumped, John was told to call the police. However, appearing to confirm he is indeed hiding something major, John shut down the idea of getting the cops involved.
Fans have been flooding social media with their theories about John on Emmerdale. On a fan page, one viewer speculated: “Not too sure on this John guy I can’t quite figure him out something doesn’t seem right. He’s definitely got something to hide but what.”

Another keen observer noted: “Notice he didn’t want sarah to call the police! ” Delving deeper, a third proposed: “He could be on the run after he killed someone in his van, and that’s why he’s so protective about it? ”
Yet another fanatic added their thoughts, saying: “That would make sense! He is quite creepy. The next village murderer? ” In a similar vein, a fifth suggested: “John’s hiding something and Mack and Aaron will have a shock coming to them. He isn’t going to let him away with it.”
