Emmerdale fans think a new twist on the way will lead to John Sugden’s downfall on the ITV soap, and that he could meet a grisly end at the hands of three characters
Amid the news of another shocking death looming on Emmerdale, fans believe time could be up for John Sugden. He could be about to trigger his own downfall with a deadly action, and fans think three characters will ensure his grisly end as a result.
John has got away with his crimes for too long, including the murder of Nate Robinson, the framing of Ella Forster, his attack on Aidan Moore and him leaving Owen to die. He’s also targeted many villagers and left them in danger so that he can then save them and be the hero.
It comes as it was reported last week that Mackenzie Boyd is being killed off, making him the next victim of killer John. But amid Robert Sugden currently being the only one to suspect his brother is hiding something dark, fans are now guessing how John will ultimately be exposed and caught.
So far John has remained undetected and everyone, except Robert, is singing his praised including his husband Aaron Dingle. With Aaron being Robert’s ex-husband, villagers are convinced Robert simply has a vendetta against his sibling out of jealousy.
But one new theory off the back of Mack’s reported death could see three characters team up and take John down. The theory suggests that the characters in question will find out at some point who killed Mack, as well as Nate, and it will spark a revenge twist.
Viewers believe after Mack and Nate’s murders, Charity, Cain and Moira Dingle will all want to avenge this and kill John. With Charity being Mack’s wife, Moira being his sister and Cain being his brother-in-law, not forgetting Nate is Cain’s son, fans have wondered if the trio will plot payback.
Might news of Mack’s demise and John being rumbled lead to him meeting just as dark a fate as his victims? Fans think so, with one writing: “John will have killed Cain’s son, Moira’s brother and Charity’s husband. And you really don’t want to cross those three.
“There is no way he is getting out of Emmerdale alive.” Other fans are desperate for it to be Robert who exposes John and takes him down after the way he’s treated him, and with no one believing him.
It comes after the reports of Mack being killed off, yet to be confirmed officially by Emmerdale. While not announced it’s thought to happen at some point soon, with Mack set to unearth what John has been up to.
Just months ago it was teased “life-changing” scenes were on the way this September for Mack and best pal Aaron. Now it’s stated that Mack is leaving the show after five years with actor Lawrence Robb thought to be bowing out of the show, with scenes already filmed.
It was only a matter of months ago that Mack was onto villain John, leading to John framing him for the slurry leak on the farm. Mack dropped his vendetta against the character deciding he was a good person, but it seems something leads to him realising this isn’t the case.
