John to ‘save’ Robert with same injection he gave Nate which will spark the beginning of the end, new fan theory predicts

Would it be his downfall?

A new Emmerdale fan theory has predicted that John will try to save Robert Sugden’s life with a very specific injection – one that Nate knew all too well.

With Robert and John Sugden feuding in the village, Robert’s just made himself a huge target.

And, John has something huge planned for Robert. But, could Robert end up losing his life just like Nate did?

John abducts Robert in Emmerdale

In upcoming scenes, John will abduct a drugged up Robert and shove him in his van. Why? Well, this is because the two Sugden brothers current hate each other’s guts.

Ever since Robert turned up on Aaron and John’s wedding day and tried to steal John’s groom away from him, there’s been bad blood between them.

Aaron ultimately chose to marry John, with Robert heading back to prison for a couple of weeks extra time inside (was missing his probation meeting worth it?).

Now, Robert has returned once more, and he’s not going to shy away from making his presence known just because John says so. John might’ve not met Robert before, but we certainly have!

Upcoming scenes though will see Robert get drugged by his date, with John swooping in and bundling Robert into his van. He then holds a syringe as he prepares to inject Robert with something…

Fan theory predicts huge Nate death downfall for John

A new fan theory has now suggested that John will inject Robert with the same drug he did Nate Robinson in a bid to ‘save’ Robert’s life and come off as a hero.

However, when Robert awakes, a new theory reckons he’ll piece everything together and realise that John was responsible for killing Nate. Clever.

One fan wrote: “How will John get caught? I reckon he will inject Robert with the same drug he injected into Nate, Robert will go to the police, and a blood test will match up to the drug found in Nate during the post-mortem.”

But, if this is the case, it could be the key to bringing evil John down once and for all!
