ITV Share By Kerry Barrett Jun 11 2025 By Kerry Barrett Jun 11 2025 A complete list of everyone John Sugden has saved - and which life-threatening situations he's actually caused He's saved lives all over the village! But how many people has he put in danger? Features John Sugden John's Secret Life Share By Kerry Barrett Jun 11 2025 By Kerry Barrett Jun 11 2025 John Sugden in Emmerdale has revealed his secret and we are gripped. He’s a medic who saves people’s lives from dangerous situations. That he just happens to have caused. It’s thrilling stuff! So we thought before things really ramp up, it was time for a quick recap of everyone John’s saved – and all the life-threatening situations he’s to blame for! John saved Aaron’s life (Credit: ITV) Aaron Dingle When the unlicensed boxing bout got revealed to the police things got a bit chaotic. Aaron confronted one of ringleader Jade’s goons and got a punch in the chest for his trouble. The punch caused Aaron’s lung to collapse. But luckily, John was on hand to step in and save his life. He performed emergency surgery on Aaron with a Biro! Was John Sugden to blame for Aaron’s injury in Emmerdale? This time, John wasn’t to blame. At least, not directly. He did, though, call the police on the boxers and he must have known that the illegal bout would end in chaos. Perhaps he hoped he’d get a chance to play the hero. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers A fire broke out and Moira and Ruby were trapped in the flames Moira Dingle Moira was in a bad way when Cain rescued her from the barn fire. She was out cold and things looked bleak until John took over. He got Moira breathing again and saved her life – much to Cain’s relief. Ruby Fox Miligan and Mackenzie Boyd Ruby was trapped in the barn when it caught light. Mack and John bravely went into the flames to get her out. As a burning beam dropped it almost hit Mack – except John dragged him out of the way. Another life saved to add to his tally! John managed to get Ruby to stay away throughout and carried her out of the flames like a proper hero. Was John Sugden to blame for the barn fire in Emmerdale? Definitely not! This time it was Moira’s brain tumour and her own erratic behaviour that led to the fire in the barn that almost killed her and Ruby, not to mention Mack and John. John saved Eric (Credit: ITV) Eric Pollard John’s got a good job at the surgery now and it’s all thanks to Pollard. When grumpy Eric’s health took a turn for the worse back in the autumn, he was determined to carry on as normal. But then he started having chest pains. Luckily, John recognised the signs of an oncoming angina attack. He took Eric’s blood pressure then gave him treatment to prevent the attack. And he got the offer of a job as thanks! Was John Sugden to blame for Eric’s heart problems? Sinister as we now know John to be, we can’t blame him for this one! It was John who killed Nate – accidentally – instead of saving him (Credit: ITV) Nate Robinson We KNEW Nate wouldn’t slope off to Shetland without a backwards glance! We knew it! And admittedly we were convinced when he messaged Tracy and told her he’d arrived, but we still weren’t surprised when his body showed up as Amy plunged beneath the frozen lake. Anyway, now we know that John killed him! Accidentally, but still. John injected Nate with something, that he then planned to reverse – except he was too late. Nate died before he could give him the treatment and claim credit for the save. Was John to blame for Nate’s death in Emmerdale? Abso-blooming-lutely he was! Nate may have been in pain after Cain’s beating, but if it hadn’t been for John jabbing him with a syringe, he’d be living it up in Shetland. Jacob drank the wrong coffee and ended up collapsing in front of Victoria (Credit: ITV) Jacob Gallagher On Thursday (April 10) Jacob suffered a life-threatening allergic reaction to nuts after drinking the wrong coffee. As Jacob struggled for breath and lost consciousness, a frantic Victoria searched through his bag for his epi-pen, only to find it gone. But luckily, paramedic John was right there in the surgery. He grabbed his own pen from his medical kit and saved Jacob’s life. Phew! Was John to blame for Jacob’s anaphylaxis? Oh yes indeed! Desperate for a ‘win’ after being reprimanded by Liam, John swapped his almond-milk latte for Jacob’s. Unsuspecting Jacob only had to take a sip of the coffee for his body to react and soon he was fighting for his life. He could have been another death on John’s conscience. John just happened to be in the right place at the right time when Chas overdosed! (Credit: ITV) Chas Dingle After the limo crash, Chas Dingle was taking pain killers to help her cope with her back injury. Except the pills were swapped, Chas inadvertently overdosed and she collapsed, hitting her head. And what do you know? John just happened to be there at the right time to save her life. What luck, eh? Was John Sugden to blame for Chas’s overdose? Ella Foster took the blame for swapping Chas’s pills, though she was adamant she’d not been the one to do it. She pointed the finger at Chas herself but now we know it was John who did it! So yet again, it was another life-threatening moment he caused! Liam had a nasty bump on the head (Credit: ITV) Liam Cavanagh Liam got a nasty whack on the head at the allotment and was out cold for a few minutes. Was John to blame or Liam’s head injury? Absolutely he was. He whacked Liam on his already-delicate noggin. Fortunately paramedic extraordinaire John was just nearby – what are the chances? – and he swooped in to help. Liam didn’t suffer any lasting damage but he’s jumpy and nervous. Moira Dingle Moira blamed Mack for the slurry leak, that was actually caused by John who wanted revenge on Mack for his childish digs at the groom as the wedding approached. But then Moira was in the barn and the trailer fell on her hand, trapping her. Was John to blame for Moira’s hand injury? John felt bad that Moira was hating on Mack so much, so he made sure the trailer was loose. And then he called Mack up to the farm, telling him Moira needed help. For once it wasn’t John who saved the day, though he did arrive very quickly after Mack. Moira’s experience ‘proved’ Mack hadn’t been to blame for the leak AND brought the warring siblings back together. But it wasn’t really the actions of someone who’s thinking clearly, was it?! The murder club think that John is hiding something about Anthony (Credit: ITV) Anthony Fox Of course we know John’s up to his neck in it when it comes to Anthony’s murder, but as far as we know he didn’t actually kill the abusive old man. Was John Sugden to blame for Anthony’s death? Aaron beat Anthony to a pulp and left him for dead, and Ruby came across him and finished the job. According to John, he arrived and thinking Aaron had killed Anthony, he took care of disposing of the body. Where, we don’t yet know. But we do know that John seems to be relishing having a bit of power over the rest of the ‘murder club’. John paid Aidan a visit at the hospital (Credit: ITV) Aidan Moore John’s ex, Aidan, is in a coma in Hotten General where he’s been for some years. Was John Sugden to blame for Aidan’s injuries in Emmerdale? We’re not sure of the details but we know John’s the reason Aidan’s in a coma. When his unfortunate ex came round recently, he was scared to see John by his bedside. And John was definitely not about to let Aidan talk to anyone. He was ready to finish the job, though Aidan had a cardiac arrest before John could do his dastardly deed. John will stop at nothing to keep his secrets safe (Credit: ITV) Who could John Sugden hurt next in Emmerdale? John’s definitely not done yet! We know he won’t hesitate to get rid of anyone who gets in his way. Here’s who we think could be in trouble next… Robert Sugden He’s the obvious one, isn’t he? He ruined John and Aaron’s wedding, snogged one of the grooms, and it’s obvious to everyone with eyes that Aaron still loves him. Be afraid, Robert. Be very afraid. Tracy Robinson Tracy’s absolutely convinced that Cain killed Nate at the moment, but once she realises he’s telling the truth and he didn’t off his own son, she’ll be on the hunt for someone else to blame. Could she realise there’s a reason for John sniffing round? If she does, she could be in danger. Aaron Dingle Yes, it seems unlikely but John Sugden in Emmerdale must have loved Aidan once upon a time and he still hurt him. If he finds out about that kiss on the bridge on his wedding day, he’s not going to be very happy. And when John’s not happy, bad things happen! Mackenzie Boyd We’d not be that sorry if Mack proved to be one of John’s next victims, we have to be honest. But also, he’s suspicious of the man’s motives already, he’s watching him carefully, and we reckon he could be the one to expose him. If John doesn’t get to him first, of course.
