Emmerdale star's exit 'sealed' 18 years after debut in murder twist - and John's behind it

Emmerdale enthusiasts are sounding alarm bells over a charcacter who they urge to "be careful" around the enigmatic John, as they sense a chilling murder plot unfurling.

When soap newcomer Oliver Farnworth made his debut as Jack Sugden's long-lost son John earlier this year, his sudden appearance sent shockwaves through the Dales.

It was Aaron Dingle, portrayed by Danny Miller, who had a steamy encounter with John, unaware that he was the sibling of his former spouse Robert Sugden, played by Ryan Hawley. The revelation stunned both men.

Additionally, Isabel Hodgins' character Victoria Sugden found herself taken aback by John's arrival, never having known of this additional brother. Despite the initial surprise, John has since integrated into the village routine, to the apparent pleasure of Victoria.

However, viewers are now theorising that Victoria's curiosity to unearth more about her newfound brother might place her in jeopardy - and possibly result in a fatal outcome. In recent episodes, Victoria irked John by grabbing his phone away to identify his mystery text recipient, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Shockingly for her, the contact was none other than Aaron, which led Victoria on another sleuthing adventurethis time into John's van. Her discovery of 'Aidan Moore' inscribed dog tags inside the vehicle hints at secrets yet to unfold.

Catching Victoria red-handed, John's outrage was palpable as he ordered her to stay out of his affairs while forcibly expelling her. The community is now abuzz with speculation that a grim fate awaits Victoria.

On an Emmerdale Facebook fan community, viewers expressed their concerns, with one writing: "Vic really needs to be careful, what does she know about John really?"

Others joined the discourse, with comments such as: "I was horrified she rooted around in his van. Serves her right if something bad happens."

Further opinions surfaced, including a remark stating: "She really crossed the line this time. Nerve of the woman!" and another suggesting that Victoria could be putting herself in danger: "Is Victoria asking to get herself murdered? Stop!"

The speculation continued with yet another member asserting: "John is 100% hiding something."

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
