Let’s talk about John Sugden in Emmerdale, shall we? I think we’re all agreed there’s something not quite right there. But what is it?
He’s lying about something, isn’t he? Holding back information? Not quite who he seems?
Let’s investigate…
John Sugden in Emmerdale and the Aidan Moore mystery
When John first arrived last year we soon saw some dog tags with the name Aidan Moore inscribed on them. He admitted to his half-sister Victoria Aidan was his friend in the army who died.
He later told Aaron that he and Aidan were more than friends. We know John was unable to save Aidan when he got injured, despite promising him he would. Unable to live with the guilt, he left the army and lived in his campervan.
But fans are not convinced. So what is the truth? Did he kill Aidan? Is he in Emmerdale for some sort of revenge? Is he really Aidan?
We don’t know, but we do know something isn’t adding up.
John Sugden has clearly dealt with a dead body before in Emmerdale
Yes, yes, I know John was an army medic in Afghanistan, so will have dealt with dead bodies before. BUT has he moved one and hidden it never to be found before?
After he found Anthony dead and believed Aaron had killed him, John performed a perfect clean-up operation (well, aside from a rogue tooth). He disposed of the body with practiced precision – he has definitely done this before.
What about Nate?
John was the last person to see Nate alive (as far as we know), this makes him the prime suspect to have killed him. Is John a serial killer?
Controlling Aaron in Emmerdale
Fans have been worried that John is a controller, much like Tom King before him. He is very keen on watching Aaron’s every movement and telling him what to do.
Aaron is struggling with his guilt over the Anthony situation, so is listening to John’s every word. Should we be worried about this? I’m starting to think so…
And now his obsession with Chas?
So that brings us to this week where he appears to be obsessed with Chas. Desperate for her approval he goes all-out to impress with an engagement party.
But then when he proposes to Aaron, Chas makes her feelings about John perfectly clear. John then worries to Victoria about how to get into Chas’ good books.
Next thing we know, John is racing to her rescue when she collapses and hits her head. Coincidence?
We’re clearly supposed to think it has something to do with Ella, whose obsession with Chas also grows next week (she’s a popular girl!)
But I think we need to keep an eye on John with this one. He’s definitely not all he seems…
