With Tom going to extremes to prevent his trial from taking place, Emmerdale fans have begged for justice to be served.
Last night (Monday, December 16), a code red was called at the prison as news spread that Tom had attempted to take his own life.
But, the whole thing was just another one of Tom’s lies – and quite frankly, fans have had enough.

Tom fake attempt leaves Emmerdale fans furious
With his court date fast approaching, Tom made one last attempt to get out his trial by faking a suicide attempt last night.
After a code red was called in the prison, Tom was taken to hospital where he was told that his wounds were fortunately superficial.
Belle, Jimmy and Amelia all found out the news and couldn’t help but cast their minds back to the last time Tom had tried to do something similar. Notice a pattern here?
Sam seemed to be the only one who could see through Tom’s lies though, knowing that he was up to no good.
Back at the hospital, Ollie visited Tom after got confirmation that Tom’s suicide attempt was all an act in a bid to stop Belle from turning up to court. He reckoned things could go his way if he could make Belle feel guilty for his situation.
And now, after Tom hit yet another low, fans are desperate for justice to be served ASAP.
One fan commented: “He winds me up. Surely this storyline should come to an end soon, lock him up and have done.”
Another person added: “Just hurry up and finish this story line. It’s dragging on too long.”
A third viewer agreed: “Please put us out of our agony, had enough of this story.”

When will the Tom storyline end?
Tom’s abuse storyline is set to come to an end this month as he finally gets his comeuppance (about time!)
There’s no worming out of this one as the net closes in on him. Court scenes are due to air this week. Tom puts on a show as he reckons he’s won the jury over.
With Belle a no show, the Dingles desperately search for Belle so that there’s more chance of a conviction. But, what will the verdict be? Here’s hoping to Tom’s final scenes being him locked up in a cell!

Emmerdale fans genuinely believe that John Sugden lied about who Aidan Moore is and that he’s actually the man himself.
There’s been a lot of speculation as to who Aidan Moore could be, and despite John providing the answers… fans aren’t convinced he’s telling the truth. Fair enough.

Emmerdale fans reckon John himself is Aidan Moore
Ever since they spotted John acting really guarded around a dog tag with the name ‘Aidan Moore’ on it, fans started to wonder who Aidan could be.
Now, fans are convinced that John himself is actually Aidan and has been trying to fool Aaron and Vic with a different identity all along.
One fan wrote: “I think John is really Aidan.”
Another fan agreed and suggested: “Imposter John Sugden.”
A third person added: “Without Robert there is no drama, because surely Aidan Moore is really John or his ex lover. Aaron and John go bonding about the loss of their loved ones, they say ILY in the woods and they surely disappear for weeks (until next year.) That’s not a good story.”
John’s been rather guarded about Aidan (Credit: ITV)
While out in Afghanistan, Aidan got injured and John had promised to save him. However, his injuries were too severe and he died, with John breaking his promise.
John couldn’t live with the guilt and decided to leave the army and head off to live in a campervan.
But, John is still so guarded and secretive when it comes to this dog tag! There must be more to the story, right?
But, who was Aidan Moore? Or, who is Aidan Moore? Is John the guy himself? Just what is he keeping from Aaron and Vic?

The back and forth in Emmerdale between Kim and Will has been going on for months. But after last night’s episode, fans are convinced now more than ever, that she is playing him.
Will has been working with Kim’s financial advisor Peter for a while, in a plot to take the Queen of Home Farm down.
Up until recently, Will actually had no idea that Peter wasn’t the man in charge. Instead they’re both working for someone more superior. And while the identity remains unknown, we do know that it’s a man who is out of the country until Christmas Eve.
But Kim Tate isn’t stupid. We all know that. So could she be the one behind Peter’s mystery man? Or has she got her own revenge up her sleeve?
Is Emmerdale Kim playing Will? Fans think so. (Credit: ITV)
Could Emmerdale Kim be playing Will?
After Kim so kindly told Dawn that she, Billy and the kids could move back into Home Farm, Will was horrified.
She also very quickly accepted Will’s proposal to renew their vows on Christmas Day, which was very unlike her.
So fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their beliefs; Kim is playing Will.
One wrote: “Yup. Kim is deffo onto Will. And she wants the rest of the family there to witness the finale.”
Another added: “Queen Kim better be hatching a plan to bring whinging Will down.”
A third penned: “I love Kim. She is NO fool. She’s planning Will’s downfall well and truly because no way is he entitled to a penny of HER money. She is stitching him up.”
‘Operation Destroy Kim Tate’ is headed by a mystery man that we have heard basically nothing about.
But we do know it will all be revealed on Christmas Day. Finally!
While many do think Kim is playing him, she may still be unaware of the extent of the revenge scheme. Especially as the biggest fan theories include the return of Joe or Jamie Tate.
No matter what, we know we have just over a week until it’s all out in the open.

Could John Sugden in Emmerdale actually be playing Aaron? A very convincing fan theory thinks so.
When John arrived in the village earlier this year, it felt there was more to meet the eye. But nothing has really happened… yet.
Last night’s episode saw John once again look at the dog tag he keeps with him; with the name Aidan Moore. And that’s exactly why a lot of Emmerdale fans think he is hiding something more sinister.
A new theory on social media predicts that John’s character is all a sham, and he is actually there to get revenge on someone else; Robert Sugden.

Emmerdale John is out for revenge, predicts fans.
After last night’s episode which saw John take Aaron on an unwanted camping trip, fans can’t help but feel there’s more to come.
One fan wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter): “Until now I genuinely thought it was just poor casting. But for the first time I’m convinced John is up to something. Some revenge plot against Robert, because he is so cold to Aaron.”
For a while fans have complained about the lack of chemistry between Aaron and John, and while it may have been down to everyone comparing them to the loved Robron, maybe it was actually supposed to be that way.
With this new theory, could Robert have had a history with John himself? Or did he have one with the mysterious Aidan Moore? And John is out for revenge over whatever happened.
If John does know Robert, it makes sense that he inserted himself into the village as a Sugden. He may have heard all about their family from Rob, so he knew exactly who to talk to and what to say when he arrived.

Everyone notices the similarities in both relationships
One thing that has not escaped fans’ attention is the way it seems Emmerdale are trying to recreate Robert and Aaron’s relationship.
The pair had their first kiss beside a broken down car on a lay-by, exactly like Robert and Aaron, and now they’re confessing their feelings for each other in the woods. Just like Robert and Aaron.
So, if the revenge theory is true, could John maybe know Robert from prison? Perhaps he spent some time inside with him, they got close, and Rob told him all about his relationship with Aaron.
If so, then Aaron could be set for a bigger and more dangerous storyline next year than anyone is ready for. And just maybe, this is what we need to get Rob back on our screens.
Do you think there is more to John than meets the eye?

Emmerdale spoilers
Emmerdale spoilers: Charity visits Tom in hospital (Credit: ITV)
1. Belle is terrified
Last night saw a code red in prison, with Tom getting rushed to hospital after he attempted to take his life. But of course, it was all just another one of his manipulation strategies to come out on top.
But for Belle, she doesn’t know this. And the thought of potentially being the reason that someone took their own life is too much for her.
While the Dingles all try their hardest to support her in any way they can, she begins to question if she is capable of standing up in court. So in her time of need she turns to Paddy for some words of wisdom.
However, will she walk away from their conversation with a new found courage? Or is she going to be questioning herself even more?
2. Charity takes things into her hands
The Dingles always rally around their own in time of need, and Charity isn’t going to sit back and watch Belle fall apart over something that isn’t true.
So when she realises Tom faked his suicide attempt, she manages to get access to his hospital room – of course she does, she’s Charity Dingle.
At first Tom is taken aback to see her there, but when she tries to get him to admit he faked the whole thing to affect his court day, Tom realises she’s only there because Belle must be questioning everything.
Charity leaves the hospital fearing she has made the situation worse. And when Tom tells Ollie that Belle will no longer testify, is he right?
3. Billy refuses to go to Home Farm
Jai blindsides Billy and Dawn, asking them to move out of Holdgate by the end of the week. Of course the pair weren’t expecting that, but Dawn believes heading back to Home Farm would be the best thing they could do.
However, this doesn’t go down well with Billy, as he completely refuses to go back there, even with the bleak situation they are in.
With Dawn getting more and more frustrated, what will they do?

Then came a pity party as Jimmy and Amelia started to feel guilty over how they had treated Tom. “‘I hope you rot,’ that’s the last thing I said to him,” Jimmy said, while Amelia said: “All that hate and I call myself a Christian.”
Sam was having none of it though, and reminded them what Tom had done. He insisted that this changed nothing. Amelia continued to defend Tom, asking: “But how low must he have felt to want to end his life?â€
Belle also felt guilty, believing she should have seen it coming as Tom had done it before. Belle said she thought it had been an act before. In a weird parallel universe, Sam appeared to be the only one with a brain and told Belle that Tom was just messing with her head again.
Amelia jumped in to say: “He could have died, Sam. No one is that sick.†That’s what you think, Amelia…
Later, Sam told Charity about the situation and said: “Could have throttled Jimmy and Amelia. I’m meant to be the thick one, but even I could see what he’s doing.â€Â
Charity told Belle not to let Tom get inside her head again, but it seemed like it might be too late for that…

Tom continued to be manipulative
In hospital, the doctor told Tom there will be no permanent damage and shared that a psychological assessment had been arranged.
Tom was angry when told that his next of kin had been informed. He acted embarrassed as he said: “Great, now everyone knows what I have done.†But once he was alone, he laughed. Perhaps a psychological assessment isn’t such a bad idea…
Later on, Tom’s solicitor pal Ollie asked Tom, “So this was your other way out?†Tom responded: “Desperate times call for desperate measures.â€
Ollie pointed out that Tom’s knowledge of anatomy might have come in useful here. Tom said: “Well maybe if I was a dog or a rat.†If the cap fits, Tom.
Ollie told Tom he will be assessed and a psychologist will decide if he is fit to stand trial. This was music to Tom’s ears, who realised that the trial might not go ahead if he is a suicide risk. Ollie was sure that had been Tom’s plan all along. “What are you suggesting Ollie? That I did all this to somehow manipulate the system?,†asked Tom. Well, yes.
But Tom’s plan was a bit more complex than that. As Belle was shown sitting alone and looking contemplative, Tom’s voice was heard saying: “Of course, there is a chance that something like this might make Belle reconsider her actions. It would be hard for her to testify. Repeating all the vicious lies, knowing how far it’s pushed me. Something like this, it could really put things into perspective.â€
Dawn was touched by Kim’s proposal (Credit: ITV)
Kim asked Dawn to move back in
Will told Kim that the renewal should just be about the two of them. “Do we even need guests?,†he said. Erm, well, yes, probably.
At the hospital, Dawn told Kim that Ewan was doing well and should be home for Christmas. This news made Kim have second thoughts about the vow renewal on Christmas Day. “Christmas is a time for children, we’ll cancel,” she told Dawn.
Dawn was having none of it though and said they needed the vow renewal to bring them back together and “bond us as a family.†So much for no guests.
Kim also suggested that Dawn, Billy and the kids move back to Home Farm. However, while Dawn was pleased, this news went down like a lead balloon with Billy, who said Home Farm was cursed. He probably has a point to be fair.
John arranged for he and Aaron to take a camping trip – but Aaron couldn’t have been less enthusiastic if he tried. To be fair to him, it is the middle of winter.
But when he realised how important it was to John, he agreed to go along. However, while in the forest, Aaron revealed to John that the only time he had ever done anything like that was with Gordon – his father, who abused him.
John apologised and said they could pack up and go home, but Aaron decided to stay. After Aaron went to the van to get some beers, John pulled out the infamous dog tag chain, with the name Aidan Moore on. John stroked the name, while looking deep in thought.
Eric was short with Jimmy in the shop. The exchange was witnessed by Kerry, who told Eric he wasn’t really angry with Jimmy. “You’re angry with yourself,” she said. “When in fact, the only thing that you should be angry with is that scuzzy crypto con.†Eric wasted no time in chucking her out.
Later, Kerry tried to make amends with Eric. Upon seeing the mess at Eric’s place, she offered to clean for him. In a sexist moment, Eric revealed that Brenda had previously done all of the ‘women’s work.’ Nice.

The mysterious Aidan Moore has popped up in Emmerdale again, raising more questions about what exactly John Sugden is hiding.
Since his arrival in the summer, there has been somewhat of a question mark over John’s head. One question has been about why he has a dog tag with the name Aidan Moore engraved on it.
That same dog tag made a reappearance in Monday’s episode (December 16) while John was enjoying a winter camping trip with boyfriend Aaron Dingle.
Is there more to Aidan’s story than John previously shared?

John Sugden arrives in Emmerdale
The new mystery Sugden arrived in the Dales back in August. Unaware of his identity, Aaron had arranged to meet John via a dating app. Aaron and John ended up hooking up in the van on the side of the road.
Later, it was revealed that John was a secret Sugden and was the half-brother of Aaron’s ex-husband Robert. But after a dog tag with the name Aidan Moore was shown in his belongings, viewers wondered whether John was lying about his identity.
John has continued to arouse suspicion with viewers with his random behaviour. Recently, he called the police on Ross and Billy’s underground fight and then warned those involved that the police were coming.

Fan theories on Aidan Moore
The name Aidan Moore first popped up in Emmerdale in August, when Victoria returned a box of John’s belongings. The box had been misplaced and she’d found it in Harry’s room.
When John opened the box, there was a dog tag inside inscribed with the name “Aidan Moore.”
Others suggested that Aidan Moore could be John’s stepdad, who was there for John when real father Jack wasn’t. Another theory is that Aidan is his ex-boyfriend, while some fans believe that John IS Aidan Moore. Some fans have even suggested that John – or Aidan – was in prison with Robert Sugden, and now he’s using his knowledge to worm his way into the Sugden family and potentially con them.
The most impressive theory came from an Emmerdale fan on Reddit who delved into the archives and discovered a character called Karen Moore from the 1980s. She had a fling with Jack AND Jack’s brother Joe and moved away in 1986. Could she be a link to Aidan Moore?

What has John said about Aidan?
In September, John caught his half-sister Victoria looking through his van. She later demanded that John tell her who Aidan Moore is.
John revealed that Aidan had been his best mate in the army, but he had died while they were serving together in Afghanistan. He revealed that the tragedy happened just before the troops were due to be withdrawn from the country.
John got emotional as he revealed that he had tried his best to save him. “I told him I could, but I was lying, I had to,” he remembered. “I could see the fear in his eyes, I held his hand as he slowly slipped away.”
During Monday’s episode (16 December), John took boyfriend Aaron camping. Aaron was reluctant, but John insisted that ‘being in nature is healing.’
He also told Aaron: “You are just like everyone else, happy in your little box, night after night… four walls and a roof – that is a prison to me. Open air, that is my home.â€
Aaron was persuaded and the two found themselves in the forest. Aaron opened up to John, revealing that the only time he has ever been camping before was with Gordon – his father and the man who abused him.
Following Aaron’s revelation, John secretly pulled the infamous dog tag chain from his pocket. He looked deep in thought as his fingers rubbed over the name Aidan Moore. But, is John still keeping secrets about who Aidan Moore really was?

In an Instagram video, the actress has reassured fans that she isn’t going anywhere.

“I adore my job, and I definitely don’t feel I’ve been mistreated by any producers. I’m being treated very well and I’m having a lovely time.”

What happened to Ruby in Emmerdale?
Since arriving in the village at the start of the year, Ruby quickly established herself as a popular character. But it’s only recently that her background has been explored.
In devastating flashback scenes that aired last week, it was revealed that Ruby had been sexually abused by her father Anthony when she was younger.
The flashback scenes depicted Ruby’s 16th birthday party. After everyone had left, Anthony took Ruby some cake in her room. In scenes that followed later, after he locked the door, Ruby looked visibly scared as she begged “Please not again. Not today.”
The special episode also hinted that Caleb Miligan may not be Steph’s father. With so much more to explore in this storyline, fans will be pleased that Beth is staying put.

Former Coronation Street star Rhea Bailey has joined the cast of Emmerdale, eight years after leaving the cobbles, reports suggest.
Rhea played Caz Hammond in Coronation Street between 2015 and 2016, and now her agency has revealed that she has landed a role in Emmerdale.
During her time in Coronation Street, Caz was part of some exciting plots including an engagement to Kate Connor and obsession with Maria Connor. However, it is not yet known what stories Rhea will be involved in on Emmerdale.

The post said: “The talented RHEA BAILEY is back in the Dales filming more episodes of EMMERDALE for ITV.”
Although no further details, such as her character’s name have been released, it sounds like it will be a substantial role and we’ll likely see her on screen soon.
As well as Coronation Street, Rhea also previously had roles in Crossroads, The Bill and Waterloo Road.
Caz became quite unstable and she threatened Sophie, warning her to stay away from Kate. However, Caz’s suspicions turned out to be correct, and after catching Kate and Sophie kissing, she left.
But Caz wasn’t fully done. She returned claiming she’d injured her ankle. Kate agreed to look after her, but soon became suspicious. It was later revealed that Caz was faking the injury to be near Kate.
After Kate and Caz broke up, Caz became obsessed with Maria and proceeded to stalk her. Caz ended up setting Maria up for her own murder. But Kate and Aidan managed to track Caz down and she was eventually arrested.
