Aaron Dingle Anthony is Murdered Emmerdale John Sugden Share By Joel Harley Jan 31 2025 By Joel Harley Jan 31 2025 A new Emmerdale fan theory has predicted that cold-blooded John Sugden may kill Aaron in an attempt to keep his part in Anthony’s death a secret. Neither John nor Aaron were ultimately responsible for Anthony’s death – but their cover-up in the days since left them both implicated. Last night’s episode of the soap (Thursday, January 30) revealed that it was actually Ruby who killed Anthony, smothering him as he lay dying on the ground. Aaron was stunned to learn that he hadn’t actually killed Anthony – and furious that she and Caleb had kept the truth from him. As the episode ended, all involved agreed to stay silent. But with Aaron clearly struggling with his conscience, will he be able to hold it together in the face of a police investigation? A dark new theory has emerged suggesting that John may then kill Aaron in an attempt to keep his own part in the crime a secret.

And with many still not trusting John, this could be bad news for Aaron… article continues below Read all the latest spoilers “What if John kills Aaron to keep the secret of what happened to Anthony… Aaron being the wrapped up body we saw in the flashback, and Cain standing over his grave?” asked one fan. “That would be a sad ending to a sad life really,” said another in response. “I hope they don’t kill him off or make John a killer,” a third fretted. “Aaron crying again, John will be taking him out at this rate, and not in a nice way,” said another viewer, over on X. Is Aaron in danger? Viewers still don’t trust John (Credit: ITV) What’s John’s game? All the red flags so far This latest theory comes amid intense speculation over John’s true motives. The former soldier leapt to action in the wake of Aaron’s attack on Anthony – and many felt he was far too comfortable in covering up a murder. This has led some to believe that John could be harbouring a dark secret of his own – wondering whether he might have actually killed Anthony (since proven to be untrue), or ‘disappeared’ Nate. Whatever the case, John is clearly all-too comfortable around death, and his ‘controlling’ approach to Aaron only worried fans more. Only time will tell whether John’s heart is in the right place… but for now, Aaron and Ruby should just be glad that he’s on their side.
