Robert's spiker Owen clashes with John when he turns up at the surgery

Robert’s spiker Owen has a sinister agenda in Emmerdale spoilers
Viewers will remember that Owen was the guy Robert hooked up with a few weeks back in a bid to make ex Aaron jealous. The pair met up for a drink at the Hide, where Owen revealed he was from nearby Demdyke.
The date progressed well as Robert and Owen shared a snog. But the newcomer’s sinister side was revealed when Robert nipped to the loo and Owen drugged his beer. John was conveniently nearby and saw the spiking take place.
He waited until Robert had drunk the laced beverage, before ‘rescuing’ him from Owen’s clutches. John warned Owen to do one, and it seemed this was the last we’d seen of the attempted rapist. So you can imagine John’s surprise when he arrives back on the scene.
Owen turns up in Emmerdale
It’s already a bad week for John with Nate’s impending funeral. But as he arrives for work at the surgery he’s shocked to discover Owen waiting for an appointment with him.
At once, John recognises him as Robert’s spiker, but it takes a while for Owen to realise who the medic is. When the penny does finally drop, Owen is shocked – and a little unnerved.
Moments later, Robert walks past the surgery and witnesses John forcibly removing Owen from the building. Catching sight of his attacker again leaves the Sugden incredibly shaken and he thanks John for getting rid of him.
But despite his gratitude, Robert still remains highly suspicious of his sibling.
