Ever since John arrived in the village, something has been off with him. And while we have no definitive proof yet, it is looking likely that he is the next serial killer in the village. John has been desperate for Chas to approve of him, and decided to throw her and Liam a surprise engagement party. Which should have been a nice evening – until he and Aaron got engaged too and ruined Chas’ mood. Then to top it all off, Ella and Chas had yet another argument. But it was something in the background that made viewers convinced the show was foreshadowing serial killer John.

From Chas getting annoyed that Aaron and John got engaged, to Ella ruining the party, fans noticed the song that was playing in the background. Right whenever John was trying to get Chas’ approval, and she was telling Aaron that she thought it was too soon, the song Murder On The Dancefloor could be heard playing from the speakers. And it didn’t go unnoticed by fans. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Taking to X, one wrote: “Murder on the Dance Floor is playing… Did John pick that?” Another penned: “Murder on the Dance Floor playing in the background. Maybe John will murder them all.” While it could be passed away as a mere coincidence, it is Soap Land. And everything is chosen very thoughtfully and carefully. So, if the song is anything to go by – another murder may be around the corner. Is John going to kill Ella? (Credit: ITV) Who is his next target? While John has been acting increasingly possessive over getting Chas to like him, would he go as far as to kill her? Perhaps if he did then he could play the supportive fiance to Aaron. All while being the real reason he was grieving. But another character that fans think is a possible next target for serial killer John is Ella. And as we know Paula Lane is leaving the soap soon, could Ella’s living days be numbered? One viewer penned on X: “What if John kills Ella…” What would his motive be for murdering Ella? Well getting rid of an obstacle to Chas’ happiness would immediately win him brownie points. Obviously nobody would know he was the one to do it (until the truth eventually comes out). But if he were going to do anything to make Chas happier, getting rid of Ella may be his next move.
