ITV Share By Joel Harley Jan 28 2025 By Joel Harley Jan 28 2025 EXCLUSIVE: Aaron did not kill Anthony, Emmerdale viewers overwhelmingly believe Viewers aren't buying it Aaron Dingle Anthony Fox Anthony is Murdered Emmerdale Share By Joel Harley Jan 28 2025 By Joel Harley Jan 28 2025 An exclusive poll has revealed that Emmerdale fans believe Aaron Dingle didn’t kill Anthony after all. Aaron may think he murdered Ruby’s abuser, but there have been a few hints since this may not have been the case. It’s not for want of trying though – Aaron left Anthony at death’s door after issuing a brutal beating. When he returned to the scene of the crime with John, Anthony had passed through that door, and was now fully dead. But was it Aaron who done it? While it may seem like a cut-and-dry case of Death by Dingle, we’re not convinced. John was just a little too cool about the whole thing, while both Caleb and Ruby have been acting mighty suspiciously in the days following. And what of Cain, who seemed eager to lend Caleb an alibi, assuring he’d always be there for his brother. Did Cain’s guilty conscience lead him to finish the job? We’re not the only ones either – fans of the soap are also having a hard time believing that Aaron killed Anthony. Who delivered the final blow? (Credit: ITV) Aaron didn’t kill Anthony, exclusive viewer poll reveals In a poll by Emmerdale Insider, viewers shared their thoughts on Anthony’s murder – and few believe it was actually Aaron. A staggering 82.46% of viewers believe that someone else snuck in and finished the job, while the remaining lot (17.54%) are buying the soap’s version of events. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers This means that most viewers (47 out of the 57 people polled) agree that Aaron is innocent. But if not Aaron, then who did? John and Aaron set about clearing up the crime scene (Credit: ITV) Who killed Anthony? All the fan theories so far A majority of viewers on social media seem to believe in Aaron’s innocence too, with one fan writing on Reddit yesterday: “I don’t think so. Ruby is looking quite suss, as well as Caleb. Emmerdale likes to keep us guessing so I’m thinking would be too easy if it was Aaron.” And, from that list of suspects, Ruby and Caleb have emerged as the popular vote so far. “It could be Aaron but I’m not feeling it lol. I keep thinking Ruby killed him,” said another. “I don’t think they will make Aaron a murderer. Circumstances point to John, he seemed WAY too icy cold and efficient when it came time to take action,” a third theorised. “IMO absolutely no chance. I could be wrong and the writers could keep it that simple, but they rarely do,” another agreed. “I’d like to think that he didn’t die of the injuries of just one person and that it was a culmination of what each person did to him, for a Murder on the Orient Express type ending,” said a fifth.
