John to be exposed – soon The walls are very definitely closing in on John and we know his end must be coming really soon. Amy Walsh recently told the Mirror Tracy and Cain team up to take on Nate’s killer. And, one of their targets at the top of their potential culprit list is… *drumroll please* John Sugden. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Amy teased: “Tracy and Cain do a little list together of who it could it be.” When the topic of John came up, Amy then added: “That was left on a bit of a cliffhanger actually. He’s the next name on the list…” Also on John’s case is Robert Sugden. He doesn’t trust his half-brother one little bit. And when he hears Owen has ‘confessed’ to Nate’s murder in a supposed suicide note and that John went to his house before he died, Robert goes on a quest for answers. Oliver Farnworth, who plays John, recently said he was on a year’s contract – which would be up in August 2025, so it looks like we won’t have to wait much longer. Things will work out for Belle (Credit: ITV) 2. New love for Belle Eden Taylor-Draper has also revealed there is romance around the corner for Belle Dingle. You might have thought she’d steer clear of all love interests after her abusive marriage to Tom King, but it seems she will be ready to get back in the water before too long. During a recent appearance on This Morning, Eden suggested happiness was on the horizon. “Yeah. I mean – I have been in work recently – yesterday actually – and I had a really fun day, working with someone. So, yeah,” she teased hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley. Some fans are convinced Billy is the man she will move on with, but we will just have to wait and see. Bear can’t find the courage to contact Paddy (Credit: ITV) 3. Bear’s mysterious behaviour explained Bear Wolf has been acting oddly. Theories are floating around over what’s wrong with him – from dementia, to depression, but so far all we’ve seen is him being extremely aggressive with Paddy. After Paddy gave him to boot for saying some unforgiveable things, we now know Bear is not in Ireland as presumed. In fact, he is far away from anywhere and not close to reconnecting with Paddy. So where is he? And what’s really happened? Show boss Laura Shaw has already revealed this will become a “big storyline”. “He’s going off screen for a little while,” she told Emmerdale Insider and other press. “He’ll go missing and when he comes back what you’ll see is a very different Bear in a very different situation. “We’re all going to be watching going: ‘what the hell has happened here?'” Given that’s already what we’re thinking, we can’t get much more confused! What does the future hold for Vanessa and Charity? (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock) 4. Charity’s marriage under pressure – and a possible Vanity reunion? Poor Sarah Sugden has really been through it – Fanconi anaemia, throat cancer and now cervical cancer. She is taking it all in her stride, though and focusing on her desire to become a mum. At least she was until she discovered she’d had to have an emergecy hysterectomy. It destroyed her baby dreams and she was distraught. But she decided on surrogacy and gran Charity offered to carry the baby for her. However given Charity has refused to have a baby with husband Mackenzie, he is not happy at all. As he gives her an ultimatum next week: the surrogacy or their marriage, some fans hope their split could pave the way for a potential reunion for Charity and Vanessa. Emma Aktins recently spoke about this possibility: “I think when they do have scenes together, there’s always that potential for an opening again, a reconnection, because they get on so well as friends. “There’s always that spark and you never know… It’s a joy to work with Michelle (Hardwick). So either way it’s a win win.” She added: “I just don’t know at the moment in time what they’ll do with the pair, but I can definitely see an opening happening already because there’s been dialogue between them.” If Emmerdale did smug (Credit: ITV) 5. Aaron and Mack’s big storyline Although we don’t know how long John Sugden and Aaron will stay married for, what we do know is that headed into autumn, Aaron has a big storyline coming up. It involves Mackenzie Boyd and we’ll finally see the outcome of Mack’s flashforward. Laura Shaw said: “It’s a big week of episodes which is going to be life-changing for those two.”. So any guesses on what it could be? Something tells us it might be to do with one of the newcomers arriving in town… Is Bernice’s return welcome? (Credit: ITV) 6. Bernice’s return for Gabby and Vinny’s wedding, Emmerdale spoilers report So Vinny has tried to kiss Kammy. Which is surprising within itself, but also not that surprising given Gabby’s history with gay men (see previous fiancé Nicky) – and her mum’s perchant for getting involved with them too. But now Vinny has committed fully to Gabby – and is even bringing the wedding forward as quickly as he possibly can. Because that’s not suspicious at all, Vin. Bernice is set to be returning for it. This has not been confirmed by the soap as yet, but will she be welcome if she does return? Dylan’s got a second chance – but has he taken it? (Credit: ITV) 7.

And will he bring more trouble to Marlon and Rhona’s door? Laura Shaw has revealed: “He’s going to be bringing his past back to the village with him and that’s going to cause a few problems for April and the wider family.
