The real mystery of who in Emmerdale killed Anthony as his death was finally solved last night (Thursday January 30).
After Aaron spent a few days thinking he was responsible for Anthony’s death, in a not-so-surprising twist, he wasn’t.
Viewers were given yet another flashback to the day of the death. We saw that it was actually Ruby who killed her father – a very fitting end. But when she, Aaron, John and Caleb got together to discuss the next steps, fans couldn’t help but wonder about the body.
Emmerdale flashforward
At the beginning of the year, Emmerdale gave us flash-forwards of certain characters. But we had no idea on how they ended up in that state.
And in one of them, there was a wrapped up body being thrown off a bridge. So when Anthony died and John wrapped his body up, that’s what we assumed would happen. But we never actually saw that.
Which brings up a few questions. Where did John put Anthony’s body? And if that wasn’t the death in the flash-forward, is there another murder looming? Fans have thought John may be the next serial killer…
But now, some think that John’s choice of words have shown them exactly where the body may be.
Taking to a reddit thread, viewers debated whether Anthony was buried – or fed to the pigs.
Emmerdale Anthony death – where is his body?
One wrote: “What has John actually done with Anthony’s body? All I have heard him say is that they don’t need to worry about it?”
A user responded: “Isn’t he meant to be the one pushed in the river?” which someone answered: “We didn’t see that actually happen though.”
Another wrote: “I think the boring answer is he probably buried him in the woods.”
However, others think John had a more sinister plan for Anthony’s body. One that will be much harder to trace back.
“He told Aaron there was nothing left of him to be found. Then said there was no chance of them finding the body. Maybe he put him through Moira’s mincer.”
Another backed this up, adding: “If he was smart, he would have either cut him up to give it to the pigs. Or disintegrate it.”
And John has given the impression that he knows how to cover up a murder. So perhaps there really isn’t a trace of Anthony’s body.
Either way, knowing what actually happened to the vile man, surely he will have to tell someone how he got rid of it?
And who was in the body bag in the flashback?
