Emmerdale fans are convinced it will be Dr Liam Cavanagh who works out the truth about John Sugden. 

At the moment, Emmerdale fans are desperate for anyone to catch onto John’s lies, especially when they seem so obvious. So far, numerous characters have had the opportunities. But somehow, he always gets away with it.

Many people think now that Robert is making his comeback to the village, he will be the one to find the truth out, especially as he is already starting to suspect something is going on. But a few other viewers think it will actually be Liam who works it out.

Liam and John already have history in Emmerdale

John has spent the last lot of months getting away with murder (literally). And there’s only so long that can stay a secret in Soap Land.

Over the last few days, he has been spiralling a bit more than usual. His dreams keep haunting him, and he actually looks like he has guilt for framing Tracy. And this has led him to telling Manpreet about his sleep issues.

But another person who works in the surgery with him is Liam. And he has already seen John’s outbursts in the past. So could he be about to uncover the biggest secret of all?

And previously murderous ways in the village have gone right by Liam’s head. After Meena killed his daughter, perhaps he is determined to not let another murderer get away with things.

Besides, Liam is now engaged to Chas, and John has targeted both of them, so it would be personal for Liam.

Taking to X, an Emmerdale fan explained why they think Liam has to be the one to take John down once and for all.

Could Liam take down a murderer?

They wrote: “My prediction for who brings down John is Dr Liam Cavanagh. Not Robert and not Aaron (although they will be fundamental in the process).

“Why? He’s enjoys doing murder mystery events. He is the real medic. And he has Chas whispering in his ear regarding past relationships of Aaron.”

The thread continued: “Liam also had his suspicions of John when he made him receptionist. So if he thinks logically, he will understand Jacob’s allergic reaction.”

The fan also pointed out: “Liam could go to the police with his medical knowledge. Knowing he and Chas got attacked. He could suggest John has the motivation for murder.”

Another fan agreed that Liam seems to be heavily involved in the storyline.

They added: “I would love that. And Liam was casually perched on Cain and Moira’s kitchen counter when the police told them about Nate’s phone? And that scene between Liam and Cain.. He is unusually closr to Cain and Aaron scenes at the minute.”

Could Dr Cavanagh be about to solve the biggest murder mystery of all?
