Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale found John and Aaron hard at work clearing up evidence of Anthony’s murder. Last week, Aaron beat Anthony to death after learning of the abuser’s true colours.
Provoked by an unrepentant Anthony, Aaron snapped and savagely beat the old man to a pulp. At some point after Aaron fled, Anthony died – and things don’t look good for the hot-tempered Dingle.

Aaron and John covered up a crime in Emmerdale tonight
John helped Aaron cover his tracks, disposing of Anthony’s body while Aaron cleaned himself up. But, with Anthony’s car still parked in the village and all of his belongings at home, it wouldn’t be long before his family started asking difficult questions.
The pair continued to rid themselves of the evidence tonight (Monday, January 27), with Aaron sneaking into the Miligans’ home to do away with Anthony’s passport and keys. They then stashed his car in the garage (handily closed for the week by Cain), and Aaron set to work scrapping the vehicle.
However, Aaron is clearly struggling with his conscience – especially as the truth hit home that Anthony’s family may be at home, wondering what became of their old man.
What’s next for John and Aaron?

Elsewhere, Ruby answers the door to a haunted-looking Aaron. Opening up about his past, Aaron begins to crumble in front of Ruby. Unable to carry the guilt any longer, he admits that he killed Anthony…

Realising that it wouldn’t be long before people start asking questions, the pair did away with his car and possessions, making his family think that he’d scarpered instead of being killed. But the reality of the situation hit home as Aaron began stripping the car.
Elsewhere, a famous face popped into the Hide, Jai launched an investigation, and Bob confided in Manpreet. And, as Moira stepped in to look after little Frankie, she dozed off, putting the youth in peril.
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, January 27.
John and Aaron set about staging Anthony’s disappearance (Credit: ITV)
Aaron and John got to work in Emmerdale tonight
Still trying to bury the evidence of Aaron murdering Anthony, he and John had some work to do. Anthony’s passport and car keys needed to be snuck out of the house and the car scrapped.
As Steph and Caleb left for work, John rushed Ruby out of the house, spinning a tale of a gas leak in the area. As Aaron cleared the evidence, John kept her distracted at the Hide.
Back at home, Aaron was interrupted by Caleb just as he was about to leave with the bag of Anthony’s things. He managed to stay hidden, but it was a close call there for a while.
Providence struck when they learned that Cain was planning on closing the garage to look after Moira. Somehow sneaking Anthony’s car in without anyone noticing, the pair set about stripping the vehicle.
It was in the glovebox that Aaron discovered a mix tape made by Steph, and suffered a crisis of conscience. Can he hold his nerve?
Laurel had a famous visitor (Credit: ITV)
Oblivious Laurel had a celebrity visitor
In the Hide, a familiar face thanked Laurel for a lovely cup of tea. Some might recognise this figure as UK parliamentary speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle – although Laurel didn’t seem to.
Still, she had a lot on her mind, fretting over whether or not she and Nicola were responsible for Anthony’s disappearance. Her jittery behaviour only seemed to irritate Ruby, which made Laurel even more spooked.
As Nicola tried to calm her down, she wondered whether the Hide – with all its bottles of booze – might be the best place for recovering alcoholic Laurel to be working.
Jai launched an investigation
At work, Jai admonished the staff at the depot, informing them that £200 was missing from the office – and implying that it had been an inside job. This earned him some derision from Billy and Kerry – who noted that he had been the one who left the door open in the first place.
He implemented a bag search policy, but Kerry was quick to point out that he didn’t have a leg to stand on.

Bob confided in Manpreet
Bob paid a visit to the cafe, rousing suspicions with his odd behaviour. Realising that things were amiss between Bob and Brenda, Manpreet prodded him for answers.
Later, she got to the truth of the matter, as he admitted that he’d tried to kiss Brenda. She advised him to let sleeping dogs lie, but will Bob heed her advice?

Moira snoozed on the job
Tracy swung by with Frankie to pay a visit to Moira. When a shift came up at work, Moira offered to look after Frankie. However, it wasn’t long before exhausted Moira dozed off – and Frankie took the opportunity to fix her a cup of tea.
Amy and Matty walked in to find the youngster fiddling with the stove – so Amy stepped in to help look after Frankie.
Steph worried about Anthony in Emmerdale tonight
Steph fretted about her missing grandfather. Discovering his car gone, Steph was alarmed – and immediately started accusing her mother of driving him away. Caleb leapt to Ruby’s defence, describing Anthony as ‘spiteful’ and suggesting he’d left as a means of punishing his family.

In Emmerdale tonight Aaron couldn’t pretend everything was normal so John had to act. Can he keep it together and cover up the evidence?
Meanwhile, Laurel was also spiralling and Nicola struggled to contain her as Steph remained determined to get to the truth about Anthony’s disappearance.
Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight, Friday January 24.
Aaron was on edge (Credit: ITV)
John kicked struggling Aaron into touch in Emmerdale tonight
Aaron was out trying to run the guilt off himself. John was worried about where he was and Aaron tried to be glib and pretend he was fine. John later cornered Aaron at work wanting to know how he was feeling, but Aaron brushed him off.
John insisted they had to act normal and go to the pub to make it seem like everything was okay. And that’s where they heard Steph say Anthony’s car was behind the pub so he couldn’t have gone anywhere.
Elsewhere, Leyla revealed she’d seen Anthony with a head injury, so panicked Steph decided to organise a search party.
She went to the hospital and coincidentally asked the same nurse Nicola had seen if Anthony had been in. The nurse described a blonde woman also asking after Anthony, which made Steph assume Ruby had been there too and later confronted her mum.
Aaron was horrified to overhear their conversation and rushed out. John tried to calm him down, but Aaron spiralled and shouted there was no way he’d ever get away with this.
John yelled at him to calm him down. He told him they would deal with this together – move Anthony’s stuff and get rid of the car to make it look like he’d returned and left again.
“Get a grip,” he told Aaron. But can Aaron really hold it together?

Joe Tate continued to plot – but Kim’s on to him
Joe was on the phone to his mystery caller saying things weren’t good, he was tired and stressed – and Kim was listening in.
Meanwhile, Dawn was pouring coffee and was in a strop with Joe for blackmailing her. He claimed he’d reached out to someone about his problem and was getting help.
Noah was celebrating possibly winning a contract and being able to set up his own business. Joe overheard and swooped in with pictures of Dubai, wanting Noah’s help with the electricals over there.
He then went home and found Dawn, seducing her into kissing him again. Kim was listening in, but as they were in the nursery, she couldn’t hear them. This time.
Dawn pushed Joe off and told him to leave her alone. But she isn’t going to resist his charms for long.
Laurel was finding it hard to cope with her guilt (Credit: ITV)
The walls closed in on Laurel in Emmerdale tonight
Laurel was trying to pray her guilt away. But it didn’t really help.
Nicola fished for info on Anthony from Steph and worried he still hadn’t turned up.
Back at home, Laurel was wittering on again about how scared she was. Nicola was getting fed up of her (she’s not the only one) and told her Anthony had walked away alive, so it wasn’t their fault. But will Laurel stop spiralling?

Fans have grown concerned about Aaron in Emmerdale as he has now become reliant on John. And they’re convinced more than ever that he has a deadly secret.
Ever since John Sugden appeared in the Emmerdale village, fans haven’t been able to warm to him. Every so often he does or says something that just makes him seem a bit off.
And last night, he was suspiciously good at covering up Anthony’s death – almost like he has had some practice.. That didn’t go unnoticed by fans. With many thinking he may have even had something to do with his death, so that Aaron would have a reason to need him.

Should we worry for Aaron in Emmerdale?
As soon as Aaron told John what happened, John seemed to switch straight into protective boyfriend mode. Which would have been cute – if we didn’t have our trust issues with him.
And fans all agree that there has to be more to come in Aaron and John’s story. Some think Anthony may not have been his first murder. Remember Nate? His exit still seems very suspicious.
One wrote:Â “What would John do to Aaron if he turned on him? He has the power now to destroy Aaron’s life. What would he do if Aaron broke up with him? And if Robert ever returns, Aaron has welded himself to John. What a conundrum it would be.”
Another added: “When people say John and Aaron were cute today but it’s so obvious that John is not what he seems. Open your eyes.”
A third theorised: “Always thought the way Nate just left was iffy. And there is something about John that had me thinking he maybe killed him. And now tonight I deffo think he finished Anthony off. He knows it wasn’t Aaron.”

Is John a serial killer?
It’s not just the Nate and Anthony theories that have fans convinced John is hiding something. It’s also the mysterious Aidan Moore.
While he told Aaron that Aidan was someone he loved but couldn’t save in Afghanistan, fans immediately thought he was lying. And while some thought he actually is Aidan Moore. A viewer gave a different suggestion.
They wrote: “So this Aidan Moore. I think John may have had something to do with his death. He was way too calm about covering up Anthony’s death. So how did he do it so easily?”
As Aaron in Emmerdale panics about now being a murderer, just how many twists are set to play out in their new storyline? And do you think fans are right to worry for Aaron’s safety?

Emmerdale tonight saw a confrontation between Anthony Fox and Aaron Dingle that turned deadly. Though Aaron walked away and left Anthony alive, when he returned later, the vile abuser was dead.
John stepped in and took control, but is he covering up his lover’s crime or someone else’s?
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Thursday January 23.
Anthony dead in Emmerdale tonight

Aaron confronted Anthony – with dramatic consequences
After Aaron cornered him alone at the depot, Anthony tried to talk his way out of it, but for the first time he looked genuinely scared.
Anthony claimed he never hurt Ruby, it was a special bond and all about love. He broke down and said he knew he shouldn’t have done it. Aaron insisted he wouldn’t regret a thing if he killed Anthony, but he wasn’t going to as he had too much to lose. Aaron told Anthony he was going to the police station and he would confess to everything.
Anthony begged Aaron not to send him to prison as he’s an old man.
He then told Aaron: “She never tried to stop me, she enjoyed it as much as I did.” His next words sent Aaron over the edge: “How hard did you really try to stop your father?” What. A.Vile. Scumbag.
Absolutely losing it, Aaron beat him to near-death. Anthony was still conscious when he spat out a tooth and told Aaron to finish him off. But Aaron walked away.

Anthony dead
Back at home, John noticed something was wrong with Aaron. It didn’t take long for Aaron to confess what he’d done to Anthony. He said all he could see was his dad and he was ready to kill him and it made him feel better. John reminded him he didn’t actually kill Anthony.
He told Aaron they couldn’t leave him there to die because Anthony might be a monster, but Aaron is not.
But when they went back to the depot, Anthony was dead. Aaron was panic-stricken as he realised he was going to prison. John stepped into action and insisted he wasn’t losing him over Anthony.

John cleaned up
John then set about cleaning the crime scene and disposing of the body. He seemed VERY efficient as he dismissed Aaron and got his bottle of bleach out. John insisted he was going to put Aaron’s life back together. But the tooth remained unseen.
Steph and Ross came across John fixing his van later and it looked like he was going to be caught when Ross went to help and found a tarpaulin in the boot. But fortunately, it seemed, John had already disposed of the body.
Cain almost caught Aaron with his bloody clothes, but Aaron managed to get rid of him before bunging them on a very hot wash.
As John returned and refused to tell Aaron any details, Aaron was spiralling about being a murderer. But is he?
Who really killed Anthony in Emmerdale tonight?
Something wasn’t right when Ruby came home (Credit: ITV)
Ruby
Despite Aaron firmly believing he’s a murderer, he left Anthony alive. And there was a good amount of time for someone to go an finish the job before Aaron returned with John.
At The Mill, Ruby was adamant she would not go to the police because she would die before Steph found out – a foreshadowing perhaps?
Ruby then went out to look for Steph and returned home even more subdued and shaken as Caleb hugged her and promised to make it all right. What is she hiding? Did she go to the depot looking for Steph and finish Anthony off?
When Steph returned, Caleb tried to tell her Anthony was a grown man and she shouldn’t worry about him. Ruby just apologised causing Steph to worry about how broken her mum seemed – it’s about time she noticed. Steph actually said sorry too. The pair of them hugged as Ruby promised to always keep her safe – there is nothing she wouldn’t do… Does that include murdering Anthony?

Or was it Caleb?
Caleb went up to the depot and seemed slightly surprised that the place was as clean as it was. Does he know something?
Joe told Dawn was what wrong with him in Emmerdale tonight
Dawn wanted answers over Joe’s pills in Emmerdale tonight (Credit: ITV)
Joe collapsed
Dawn found Joe slumped at the wheel of his car, clearly unwell. She took his keys so he couldn’t drive anywhere. Dawn concluded he has a drug problem.
Joe explained it was what had happened with Cain – he was still living with the effects of the punch and blow to his head. He claimed to get headaches and be reliant on painkillers.
Dawn asserted that he was addicted to drugs and she wouldn’t enable him. So Joe threatened to tell Billy what had happened between them if Dawn told anyone about the pills. She called his bluff claiming she was going to confess anyway.
Billy’s lovely speech meant Dawn kept quiet (Credit: ITV)
Dawn couldn’t confess
As Dawn went to confess, Billy started gushing about how proud he was of her and she couldn’t go through with it. Just as Joe predicted.
Joe insisted he was getting help to get off the pills and then made a secret phone call and told the person on the other end of the line they had a problem. He said it was “getting more obvious now” and he didn’t know how long he’d got until people started noticing. So it’s not just a painkiller addiction then?
Meanwhile, Charity was in Noah’s firing line as she demanded he stay away from Joe, but Noah was not backing down. Charity insisted she was right, but Noah told her he’s lonely, he doesn’t have any proper mates and he wants to get to know Joe.
Even Kim tried to tell Charity Joe had changed, but Charity told her she was a fool. Kim then went into Joe’s room and put a recording device in so she could see if he was up to anything.
Of course Kim picked up Joe’s call on her recording device and it set her mind ticking.
Nicola’s sad face was not suspicious at all (Credit: ITV)
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Laurel was STILL panicking, while Nicola was at the hospital trying to find out if Anthony had been admitted. She spun the nurse a story and came across as very suspicious. Honestly, we could really do without these two in this storyline.

At the start of 2025 we got an eerie glimpse of the upcoming year in the village and fans know think they know who is responsible for the Emmerdale death seen in one of the flashforwards.
The village has had its fair share of serial killers over the years. From Meena Jutla to Cameron Murray, every time we think we have seen it all, something else happens.
And now, with the New Year flash-forwards, fans think they have sussed out the newest serial killer in the Dales. And it’s bad news for Aaron.
Fans think John may be the next murderer (Credit: ITV)
Could John be the next Emmerdale killer?
Ever since John Sugden arrived last year, fans have been convinced he is hiding a huge secret. While many think he may have killed someone in his past, now others believe he will be the next villager to embark on a murder spree.
John is currently in a relationship with Aaron Dingle, his brother’s ex-husband. But with the secrecy surrounding his past, could murder be on John’s mind?
They wrote: “Don’t worry everyone. I think secret serial killer John Sugden finds out and murders Anthony.”
That fan isn’t the only one who thinks John could be linked to an Emmerdale death.
Another commented: “I hope John is a serial killer.”
A third: “Do we have a potential serial killer coming in? Could it be John?”

John Sugden’s mysterious background
John first brought suspicion from fans when he kept his past with the mysterious Aidan Moore a secret.
However, he did eventually explain to Aaron that Aidan was someone he once loved, but unfortunately died in Afghanistan and he couldn’t save him.
At the time, viewers wondered if John was telling the truth. And it seems many still don’t trust him. Did John actually murder Aidan? And if he did, does that mean Aaron is in danger? If so, this could be a fantastic way to bring Robert Sugden back in the mix – fans are desperate for his return!
And as other fans think John is using a fake identity and may actually be Aidan Moore.
Do we have another serial killer on our screens? And is he going to cause the next Emmerdale death?

Fans think they have worked out a connection between Henry Moore and one of the villagers in a new Emmerdale theory – John Sugden.
Last night’s visit to Emmerdale (January 2) saw a standalone episode which focused on Jacob’s first day at his A&E placement. And things did not go well.
But one person who was there to give him some advice was patient Henry Moore. The elderly man was a regular in the hospital, and while he waited to be seen, he made friends with some of the villagers.
Henry’s similarities to Zak were evident when speaking to Cain. (Credit: ITV)
Jacob met Henry Moore during his placement
It wasn’t only Jacob that Henry bonded with in the hospital, as he also connected with Cain. Perhaps due to the similarities between himself and Zak.
Henry told Jacob that his daughter Anita had dropped him off, but that he didn’t want to bother her. And then continued to talk about her.
In a heartbreaking twist, Henry died while Jacob went to get him a drink. And as it turned out, none of the stories he had been telling the trainee doctor about his daughter were true.
But one thing many fans did pick up on was his full name; Henry Moore.
Emmerdale theory suggests Henry could have a connection to John. (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale theory suggests Henry has a connection to John
He recently told Aaron that he loved Aidan and blamed himself for his death. But after the confession fans couldn’t help but feel there was more to it. And some even suggested he could be Aidan himself.
The name could be a coincidence, but small details usually do have a meaning in soaps. Could Henry have been related to Aidan? And if John isn’t really who he says he is, could he hear about Henry’s passing?
Not only do they share the same surname, but Henry’s daughter was called Anita, another name beginning with ‘A’, just like Aidan.
So while Emmerdale were trying to raise more awareness of the everyday struggles that A&E workers face, they could have also been giving us clues that there is more to come in John’s story, just like we all thought.
Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their theories.
One wrote: “Could Henry Moore be related to the Aidan Moore that John keeps mourning over??”
Another added: “Wonder if ‘Henry Moore’ is related to this Aidan Moore than John was attached too…”
It will be interesting to see if there is a connection between the characters or if it was merely a random coincidence. But as we want to learn more about John this year, we can hope there is something to it.
