John Sugden’s reign of terror may not be over on Emmerdale, just as this week saw his fate confirmed after a horror stunt.
Aaron DIngle’s fate remains unknown after he was dragged off of a cliff by his killer husband John, after he’d rumbled Aaron’s fling with his ex Robert Sugden. John has now framed his brother Robert for trying to kill him and Aaron, with no one in the village believing Robert’s version of events.
We also have Mack Boyd’s fate remaining unclear, as he remains chained up in an underground bunker where John has held him captive the past two weeks. Roberts pleas for someone to believe that John isn’t the good guy he claims to be are still unheard, and it seems more characters could face danger as a result.
Teasing what was to come on the ITV soap exclusively with The Mirror at the National Television Awards, John actor Oliver Farnworth hinted “everyone” could be in danger. Remaining coy over Mack’s fate, he hinted there was more to come.

His co-stars Lisa Riley, Eden Taylor-Draper and Bradley Riches also had their say, revealing their reactions to the big week this week, and whether their characters could be at risk. Oliver told us: “Everyone is in danger…”
Eden let out a scream, as co-star Bradley joked: “Don’t breathe too loud!” Oliver joked about his co-stars frantically checking their scripts to ensure they are not in scenes with John.
He said: “Everyone’s getting their scripts and going, ‘am I in a scene with John? No, right’. Don’t get into John’s van whatever you do.” Lisa, who plays Mandy Dingle, added: “If he’s got that medical bag then we’re all in danger.”
Not revealing anything about this week, Oliver did reveal there was much more to come out. He said: “There’s a lot of secrets and a lot of lies, and a lot will be revealed in time.”

Lisa, Eden and Bradley heaped praise on Oliver and his co-stars Danny Miller and Ryan Hawley for their performances with the big stunt week, with Lisa confessing she “adored” Robron and that co-star Oliver was “incredible”.
Eden added: “Watching it as a viewer and not as someone on the show, and to think wow, I am a part of that show is phenomenal.” The trio also praised director Matt Hilton for the “unbelievable” episodes that have aired this week.
Lisa shared: “Our friends have done phenomenal work, the boys but also Matt Hilton. We’ve got to give him the biggest shoutout. He is unbelievable. We’ve got to move forward with the times and with the likes of Matt we are doing that.” Lewis added: “He’s amazing!”
