Emmerdale does love a dramatic wedding...

Emmerdale could be lining up to reveal the truth about John killing Nate on his wedding day with Aaron, a new fan theory predicts.

John Sugden – if that who he truly is – has been living with some huge secrets. And the biggest of all is that he actually killed Nate all those months ago. Viewers just discovered the truth last week, and many predict this is the beginning of the end for him.

Now, with Chas adamant that she and Liam can’t get married next month because of Ella, fans believe that in reality this is to give us a dramatic John Sugden reveal.

John to be discovered on wedding day?

John appears to thrive of saving people – after bringing them close to death. That’s what he was trying to do when Nate died. And it also looks like he was responsible for putting the mystery coma man in hospital. He was also the person behind Chas’ drugging – not Ella.

Last night (April 15) Aaron decided he and John will take Chas and Liam’s wedding since everything is already sorted. But when John didn’t react too well about it, Aaron was left deeply confused.

We as viewers know that John has some serious control issues along with what appears to be a hero syndrome. So, not being able to have a say in his wedding day definitely doesn’t sound like something he would like.

But with the Emmerdale wedding being one month away, it looks like it might actually be gearing up for John to have his secrets revealed and Nate to be found – right as the pair go to tie the knot.

Emmerdale fans think the truth about Nate is close to coming out

Taking to X, one viewer wrote: “I bet Aaron is going to find everything out about John on the wedding day. Or Nate’s body is going to come up to the surface on their wedding day.”

So, if it’s not Nate’s body that is found – perhaps something else happens that shows John’s true colours. And with many certain that he isn’t actually a Sugden – maybe Aaron is in for a few shocks.

The big question is whether or not they will get to say ‘I do’ before the revelations come out. And if they do – how will Aaron feel about being married to the man that murdered his cousin and drugged his mum?

Soap weddings rarely go smoothly, so it’s not completely out of the realm of possibility that this could happen. And it would for sure be some dramatic scenes!
