We’ve been suspicious of John Sugden in Emmerdale before, but something next week just doesn’t feel right about Jacob’s collapse.

Are we reading too much into this or is John creating medical issues for half the village so he can save them all?

The other week it was Chas

When Chas collapsed the other week it was revealed she had overdosed. John found her, rushed her to hospital and saved her life.

Ella was immediately blamed and run out of town because of it. But she has protested her innocence and we sort of believe her.

Meanwhile, John was desperate to make Chas like him – and we know he’s gone to extreme lengths to sort out his problems before. Could he have done so again? Did John spike Chas so he could save her life?

Now John saves Jacob in Emmerdale

And next week it’s John to the rescue again. He’s already made a mistake at work, so once again needs to prove himself and what better way than saving a life.

Victoria’s chat about her own mistakes at work might just have tipped him off. Remember when she accidentally gave Jacob a sauce with nuts in and he had a severe reaction. If she shares that information with John, she might just spark a heroic idea.

But why would John do all that?

Well that’s the killer question, isn’t it? There’s A LOT we clearly don’t know about John and we’ve been suspicious for a while about him. He pretty much has serial killer written all over him, doesn’t he?

He’s the prime suspect for Nate’s death and disposed of Anthony’s body after his murder with deft authority – certainly like he’d done it before.

Is he making himself a hero, so no one ever suspects he’s also a killer?

Of course, this is all just speculative, but you’ve got to admit, it is starting to make sense…
