    Emmerdale spoilers: Mack left gravely injured after he’s attacked by a bull

    In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, Mack’s life is on the line after he’s attacked by a raging bull.

    Mack blames John for the animal turning on him. But before he can exact his revenge, he suffers a shock collapse. Will his injuries prove to be fatal?

    Danger for Mack in Emmerdale spoilers

    An ordinary day takes a terrifying turn for Mack when he finds himself face-to-face with a bull. The mechanic is working in one of the barns at Butlers when he’s suddenly cornered by the animal. The bull isn’t meant to be in the barn, but how did it get there?

    With his exit blocked there’s no safe way out and Mack is scared. Bulls are one of the most dangerous types of livestock and Mack knows they need to be handled with caution. Just check out the horns on it!

    Taking a moment to psyche himself up, Mack decides he’ll try and make a break for it. His plan is to dodge the bull and make it to the barn gate before it catches up with him.

    But can he honestly outrun a creature who possesses such speed and strength?

    Mack is attacked by the bull

    Mack tries to leg it past the bull, but he can’t get away quick enough as the animal chases after him.

    Moments later, Nate arrives on the scene and is shocked to find the bull standing in the barn. That’s when he hears a groan from Mack, who’s lying wounded after being attacked.

    As Nate tends to his friend, Mack is clearly in a lot of pain. He’s also angry, and convinced John deliberately put the bull in the barn as an act of revenge.

    There’s no love lost between Mack and the new farmhand. John was livid after Mack deliberately sunk his beloved campervan in the lake and warned there would be repercussions. But setting Mack up to be gored by a bull seems a tad extreme, doesn’t it?

    Mack’s health takes a scary turn

    As Mack returns home to recover from his terrifying ordeal, Charity is on hand to nurse him.

    She’s also convinced John tried to have Mack killed and tells her hubby they must retaliate. But while Charity tries to motivate Mack to take action, he starts to feel very unwell.

    Charity suddenly realises Mack has gone quiet on her. She watches as he goes all woozy before collapsing on the sofa in a lifeless heap.

    Will Mack die as a result of his injuries? And does this make John a murderer?

  • Emmerdale tonight: Mandy’s wedding in jeopardy as Paddy finds out her sex secret and Victoria went a fish finger too far with John

    Emmerdale tonight: Mandy’s wedding in jeopardy as Paddy finds out her sex secret and Victoria went a fish finger too far with John

    Emmerdale tonight saw Bear expose Mandy to Paddy even after he promised not to. Seeing his bride-to-be selling herself online shook Paddy to the core as he declared he didn’t know if there would be a wedding.

    Meanwhile, Victoria’s fish finger lunch impressed John, but her constant pushing to be a faaaamily did not, so he’s off. Or is he?

    Here’s what went down in Emmerdale on Wednesday August 14.

    Bear exposed Mandy

    Now he knows Mandy’s secret, Bear questioned Paddy over whether he was doing the right thing. “It’s like going back to where I belong,” Paddy said of Mandy – sort of forgetting it didn’t work out last time.

    Meanwhile Tracy caught Mandy mid-findom and was shocked. But Mandy insisted she’d almost cleared her debts and it was all brilliant. Blimey, three days work to clear off several credit cards plus the tax man – sign us up!

    Bear then confronted Mandy, who desperately tried to explain herself. She begged him not to tell Paddy, and he did agree so as not to break his son’s heart. But he made Mandy promise she would pack it in immediately.

    She agreed. But then she got one more offer of £300 from a new client and decided to take it to clear off that last bit of debt. Oh Mandy. If only she hadn’t got greedy, Paddy might never have known, but in fact the client was Bear who was trying to make sure she had quit like she promised.

    When he realised she hadn’t, he showed Marlon, Chas and crucially Paddy what Mandy was doing. They were stunned and Paddy said he wasn’t sure he could go ahead with the wedding.

    Victoria wouldn’t leave John alone

    Victoria confided in Pollard about John’s attitude. But as they talked by Jack’s grave, Eric told her not to give up on him yet. So she gave him fish finger sandwiches for lunch and encouraged him to play football with Harry.

    It seemed John was softening – apparently he’d eat fish fingers every day if he could. But then Victoria pushed again and it all went wrong. The offer of a beer and family movie night was a step too far. John decided he was done with life at Vic’s and he was off.

    They way Victoria has been acting, we can’t really blame him.

    Tom’s still lurking

    Tom was lurking in the café, still bombarding Belle with texts. Stupidly, this time she replied and told him they needed to talk and that she was coming home tomorrow.

    Tom immediately assumed it meant they were getting back together and short of packing his things and moving himself back home, he settled for letting himself in and sitting smugly with a glass of wine thinking he’d won.

    Let’s hope a reunion is not what Belle wants to talk about. And him suffering a slow, painful death is.

    Angel got aggressive

    Jimmy and Nicola were worried sick about Angel, thinking someone had beaten her up and left her with serious injuries. Jimmy even decided to drive down to Bristol to find out exactly what was going on.

    But he got halfway there and got a call to say what we already knew: Angel had started the fight, not been the victim. Jimmy said he’s fearful his darling angel was being turned into a bad girl inside, but we’re afraid to say we think she was on that road waaay before she went down!

  • Keepers Cottage in Emmerdale – how many bedrooms does it really have as John moves in?

    Keepers Cottage in Emmerdale – how many bedrooms does it really have as John moves in?

    Keepers Cottage in Emmerdale is one of the village’s most iconic locations. So many Dale icons have lived there from Paddy Kirk to Betty Eagleton and Laurel Thomas.

    Now it’s owned by Victoria Sugden, who’s just persuaded new-found half-brother John to move in too.

    Which left us scratching our heads a bit because Keepers really isn’t that big! So how many bedrooms does it have and who lives there?

    How many bedrooms does Keepers Cottage have in Emmerdale?

    We’ve done a bit of digging and we’ve discovered that Keepers is a three-bedroom cottage.

    So that left us even more confused!

    Where is Keepers Cottage?

    The little cottage is next door to the cafe on Main Street in Emmerdale.

    The past residents of Keepers Cottage

    In 1995, Seth Armstrong and Betty Eagleton moved into Keepers. They lived there until 2003, and because they took in lodgers, lots of Emmerdale characters lived there, too.

    Paddy lived there for a while, so did Laurel Thomas, Sandy Thomas, Alan Turner and Terry Woods.

    Victoria lived there with Betty and when dad Jack died, she used her inheritance to buy the cottage. When Betty left Emmerdale, Vic’s then-husband Adam moved in.

    And when Adam left, Vic was joined by friend Rebecca White.

    Who lives there now?

    After Rebecca moved away, Victoria rented a room to Amy Wyatt and her mum, Kerry.

    Amy’s now married to Matty Dingle and they both live at Keepers, and when Kerry returned from her stint on the cruise ship, she also came back to the cottage.

    Hmm, it’s already feeling a bit snug! Plus, of course, there’s Victoria’s four-year-old son, Harry.

    And now John, too!

    So, we’re assuming Victoria has her own room, and she mentioned Harry’s room when she was talking to John, so that makes two. One for newly weds Amy and Matty, and another for Kerry and that’s four… Plus now there’s John to consider.

    Has Keepers magically sprung a couple of new bedrooms, Hogwarts-style? Is this another mystery John Sugden’s brought with him?!

  • What’s John Sugden’s secret? 6 theories about the mysterious Aidan Moore

    What’s John Sugden’s secret? 6 theories about the mysterious Aidan Moore

    John Sugden has arrived in Emmerdale and well and truly made his mark on everyone he’s come across.

    But now it’s been revealed he might not be who he says he is. What?!

    Mystery man

    In last night’s episode, Victoria found a box belonging to John in her son Harry’s room. When she handed it over to her new-found brother he opened it to reveal a dog tag.

    He admitted he had been in the army but told Vic in no uncertain terms that he didn’t want to talk about that time in his life – it was over.

    Fair enough.

    Except what Victoria didn’t see was that the dog tag John was holding didn’t have his own name etched into it. Instead it said Aidan Moore.

    Who is Aidan Moore?

    As if John’s prickly nature, feud with Mack and Aaron, and determination to leave Emmerdale as soon as he can weren’t enough to keep viewers gripped, now there’s another side to the newcomer’s mysterious character!

    We’ve been sifting through the theories about who Aidan Moore could be – and why John has his dog tag!

    1. Links to a village villain?

    Those of you with good memories will recall that Dawn’s evil ex – and dad to Clemmie and Lucas – was called Alex Moore. Could John have a link with him? Could this mean Alex returning to the village? (Let’s hope not, eh? Dawn’s got enough on her plate!).

    2. John’s stepdad

    One of the reasons John gave for never tracking down his biological dad Jack Sugden, was that he had a dad in his life. Could Aidan Moore be that stepdad – good or bad?

    3. Ex-lover

    John’s single now – at least we’re assuming so given his hook-up with Aaron in the back of his van – but could Aidan be an ex-lover? Possibly someone John lost during his time in the army?

    4. Robert’s cellmate

    Robert Sugden – John’s half-brother – is currently in jail, serving time for attacking Vic’s rapist (and dad to Harry) Lee Posner.

    Some fans think it’s possible John – or Aidan – met Robert in prison and is a con man trying to worm his way into the Sugden family.

    5. Stolen identity

    Victoria has already commented that John is like their dad, Jack. And we reckon she’s right – John is definitely all Sugden. But are we being led down a dead-end? Some fans have been busy musing that John could BE Aidan Moore. “Is he not the real John Sugden?” said one fan.

    6. Another brother?

    Hats off to the Emmerdale fan on Reddit who delved into the archives and discovered a character called Karen Moore who lived in Beckindale – as Emmerdale was called back then – in the 1980s. She had a fling with Jack AND Jack’s brother Joe and moved away in 1986. Could she be Aidan’s mum? And could Aidan be yet another Sugden brother?!

  • Fans turn on Victoria over her behaviour with John: ‘She’s like a bad smell’

    Fans turn on Victoria over her behaviour with John: ‘She’s like a bad smell’

    Victoria Sugden in Emmerdale is getting on the nerves of viewers who have said the way she is acting towards new half-brother John Sugden is irritating.

    John isn’t interested in building a relationship with his sister. In fact he wants to get out of the village as soon as he possibly can. But Vic has seized the opportunity to smoother him in sibling love – and he’s not keen.

    Fans have also had almost as much as they can take of her. Here’s what they’re saying..

    Victoria smoothers John in Emmerdale

    From the second she found out John was probably her half-brother, Victoria was like a puppy. She fawned over him, excitedly introduced herself and was crestfallen when he really wasn’t interested.

    She gave the guy a break, she did go in all guns blazing at his mother’s funeral after all, but when he turned up in the village and still didn’t want to get to know her, she took action. Victoria decided to kill him with kindness.

    Vic then insisted he stay with her, made him tea and toast, was at his beck and call and even fought his battles for him when she confronted Aaron and Mack. Yet still, John is not giving her anything back.

    She even tried to find out more about his past when she handed him a pair of dog tags yesterday. She’d found them stashed in Harry’s room. But he clammed up again and told her he didn’t talk about that time in his life. So clearly he has something to hide.

    Will Vic let it go? Of course she won’t, expect more probing and pushing in tonight’s Emmerdale (Wednesday August 14)

    Victoria looks confused
    Her behaviour is getting on John’s nerves – and fans’ too!

    Fans fed-up

    Those watching at home don’t blame John for not wanting to chat to Victoria – they think she’s being very annoying!

    One asked on social media after the episode aired on Tuesday August 13, “Is Victoria doing anyone else’s head in?”

    “She really bugged me tonight,” one agreed and another added: “YESSSS!!!!!! I was cussing!! He’s not even being nice to you and you’re flying around this title of half-brother and coming down on your friends…..get a life lol.”

    “She’s like a puppy following that creep about. Think they are really running out of what to write!!” said one more.

    A fifth added: “I kept saying to the screen ‘Victoria please just [bleep] OFF!!..She’s like an irritating fly that keeps flying around you when you’re trying to eat dinner…Poor John…”

    “She’s everywhere like a bad smell that won’t go away,” said one more.

    Someone else compared her to a stalker! “Victoria is basically Martha from Baby Reindeer. Weirdo”

    Another wrote: “Next scene will be John trying to go to the bog only to suddenly find Victoria standing beside him saying ‘Hi. What are you doing now?’”

    Is she getting on your nerves too?

    1. Bear confronts Mandy

    Bear is still reeling from the shock of discovering Mandy’s a financial dominatrix. But instead of telling Paddy, he decides to give Mandy the chance to explain her side of the story.

    He confronts his daughter-in-law-to-be about her side hustle and demands to know what she’s playing at. Embarrassed, Mandy tries to justify her actions, explaining how she resorted to findom to fix her money woes.

    Bear urges her to explain all this to Paddy, but infuriatingly she refuses to ‘fess up.

    2. Mandy falls into Bear’s trap

    Mandy’s refusal to tell Paddy the truth makes Bear even angrier. He threatens to expose her secret, but Mandy convinces him otherwise by pledging to quit the sex work.

    Despite agreeing to keep quiet, Bear is convinced Mandy’s not being honest with him.

    Needing concrete evidence, Bear decides to pose as one of Madame Diamante Dales’ clients. He makes contact, and Mandy offers her services – unaware of who she’s really speaking to.

    Paddy’s totally blindsided by his fiancée’s deception. But with just hours to go until their wedding, what will he do? Can Paddy marry Mandy? Or will he jilt his bride?

  • Emmerdale tonight: John made an enemy of Mack, Bear discovered Mandy’s secret and Nicola and Jimmy received bad news

    Emmerdale tonight: John made an enemy of Mack, Bear discovered Mandy’s secret and Nicola and Jimmy received bad news

    Emmerdale tonight saw John and Mack come to blows once again. However, it looks like John is sticking around in the village as Cain offered him a job at the farm.

    Elsewhere, Bear discovered Mandy’s findomination work after he overheard her call with a client. Also, there was more bad news for Nicola and Jimmy.

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Tuesday August 13.

    John continued to make enemies

    In Emmerdale tonight, John continued to make enemies in the village. He headed to the garage to confront Cain about his van and quiz him about what happened. Having threatened to call the police, Cain was not impressed with John.

    Mackenzie then attempted to apologise to John, but the pair did not settle their differences. Later, Mackenzie found John in the barn and attempted to hit him, as he thought he was stealing. However, John quickly defended himself.

    Cain arrived and told Mackenzie that he’s offered John a job at the farm whilst he’s staying in the village. Mackenzie was not impressed, especially after Cain told him he would have to pay for the repairs to John’s van.

    One person that was pleased to hear John is sticking around was Victoria. She was happy to know she’ll have more time to get know her half-brother. John was less enthused and insisted he will not be staying in the Dales for long. He later appeared unnerved when Victoria quizzed him about an army dog tag she’d found at home.

    Mandy is unnerved as Bear makes a comment in Emmerdale

    Bear discovered Mandy’s findom work

    Mandy was super excited about her hen do, but she had other things to do before she could begin partying. She reluctantly agreed to fit Bear in at the salon for a trim, despite being inundated with findom work.

    Amelia offered to take the appointment instead of Mandy and she quickly agreed. Unaware her laptop was still connected to the karaoke speaker, Bear heard the majority of Mandy’s findom call. He was left stunned by what he heard and struggled to compose himself in front of Mandy.

    Later on, Bear began looking into financial domination. He found himself in a super awkward situation as he began discussing findom with Marlon. Bear was left torn over whether to tell Paddy about Mandy’s findom work or not. It’s not exactly the most comfortable of conversations to have with your son, is it?

    Jimmy and Nicola both look shocked and upset

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Elsewhere, Jimmy and Nicola began preparing for Angel’s visit. However, Nicola received bad news just hours before the scheduled day visit. She was informed that Angel had been involved in a fight and would not be visiting.

    Meanwhile, Sam continued to struggle following all of the recent drama with Samson. He and Lydia made amends after recent disagreements. Sam confided in Lydia about missing Samson and how he is worried about him.

  • John Sugden: Another bad boy with a secret leaves viewers cold: ‘Why couldn’t he just be normal?’

    John Sugden: Another bad boy with a secret leaves viewers cold: ‘Why couldn’t he just be normal?’

    We’ve established two things about John Sugden since his arrival in Emmerdale: he’s moody and he doesn’t like other people. Is that really what the village needed, though?

    Recently we’ve lost several ‘nice’ men. Ethan Anderson, good guy lawyer, who sometimes made mistakes, Nicky Miligan: family troubles forced him into doing bad things, but on the whole, a good guy and Suni Sharma – happy-go-lucky good guy.

    So why has Emmerdale replaced them with another brooding bad lad? We already have Aaron filling that role – and clearly this village ain’t big enough for the both of them!

    John Sugden arrives in Emmerdale

    Let’s take a look at everything John’s done since he arrived in the Dales…

    1. ‘Robbed’ Aaron

    Okay, so he didn’t officially rob him, but he slept with him in his van on the side of the road, then drove off with all his stuff – keys, wallet and don’t forget that beloved hoodie. Aaron’s crime? Meeting someone on a dating app, being taken in by his torso, not finding out his name and sleeping with him within seconds of meeting. Didn’t really deserve to be robbed, did he?

    2. Been stroppy with Victoria and Sarah

    You know, Victoria Sugden can be a tad annoying. She’s nice and all, but we can totally see how her OTT reaction to finding out she had a secret half-brother was somewhat unnerving. She’s a bit like an excited puppy – clearly John does not like puppies either. But he could have given her something. And his adopted niece Sarah, he was awful to her. A smile or a thank you every now and then wouldn’t go a miss.

    3. Attacked Aaron and Mack

    Aaron was quite annoyed to have had his stuff taken and when he found out John was a secret Sugden, he thought the whole thing had been a set-up. Determined to get to the truth, Aaron confronted him with the only tactics he knows how: his fists. But ex-army man John got the upper hand. And, when they had another aggressive confrontation, John won again. He even got the better of Mack. And then threatened them both when they plunged his van into a lake. And we don’t think Aaron and Mack have any idea just how much he’s capable of yet…

    4. John doesn’t like cake

    What sort of person does not like cake?! Well, John Sugden apparently, who told Nicola in no uncertain terms he doesn’t like cake and he doesn’t need smiles or friendliness from the locals. Can you trust anyone who doesn’t like cake?! We’re not so sure…

    Emmerdale fans not here for villain John Sugden

    It’s fair to say making friends is not John’s strong point. But then that runs in the family given both dad Jack and half-brother Robert were also sullen so and sos. But fans aren’t loving there being yet another miserable and brooding man in town.

    “Please not another wannabe villain. I can’t cope with all the bad people in the storylines it’s getting absolutely way out of hand!!!” sighed one on social media.

    A second raged: “Can we have new characters that don’t have any issues or hidden agendas etc please. Love the lighthearted storylines it gives us all an escape from this tough world!! Emmerdale tell your writers to change tactics please and have more giggles and happy people!! So much nicer to watch rather than having to record and fast forward most of an episode!!”

    “Why couldn’t John come in and just be normal instead of most of the new characters coming in with issues,” added one more.

    A fourth wrote: “Great….another angry young man, angrier than angry Aaron in the village, ugh.”

    “The writers are getting ridiculous with all these angry men storylines. They brought Aaron back angry at the world and now instead of John meeting Victoria at the funeral and finding out they are related and have them get aquatinted they bring him back angry with a bad attitude,” said a fifth.

    Emmerdale newcomer John Sugden has not made many (ahem, any) friends since arriving in town, but he’s certainly made enemies – including Aaron Dingle and Mack Boyd.

    Last night Aaron and Mack decided to take their revenge on John who’s been particularly unpleasant to them since sleeping with Aaron and driving off with his stuff. So they stole his van, left the handbrake off and let it roll into a lake.

    They found their prank hilarious and fans did too. In fact they are loving Aaron and Mack scenes and want more of them.

    Aaron and Mack team up in Emmerdale

    John has made it perfectly clear he wants to leave Emmerdale as soon as he can – as soon as his van’s fixed, that is. Last week he had several threatening incidents with Aaron where John got the upper hand and punched him.

    So Aaron and Mack decided to teach John a lesson. John soon found his van missing and immediately knew who had taken it. Of course, he was right when he confronted Aaron and Mack and they took him to where they had left it.

    Unfortunately, Mack had left the handbrake off accidentally and it had rolled into the lake. The boys found this hilarious and taunted John, who was even angrier and even more miserable and tried to get violent again.

    Aaron was still laughing about it later when John cornered him in the pub. As John got Aaron all hot under the collar, he moved in for a kiss, only for John to pull away and laugh at him.

    Looks like this feud has a long way to go yet.

    Fans love Aaron and Mack

    However aside from John Sugden, viewers are here for this Aaron and Mack pairing. When Mack first arrived it was clear the men had chemistry, but show bosses decided to take Mack in the direction of Charity instead. Aaron then left.

    But now they’re back as partners in crime and their bromance is just what we need.

    “We need more of the bromance and the banter from these two!!! Too much doom and gloom this is a welcome addition,” shared one fan on social media.

    Another added: “Absolutely love Aaron and Mackenzie’s friendship.”

    “At last a pairing that we are going to absolutely love. The devilment between these two is fab,” enthused a third.

    A fourth said: “They are such a good shout. Funny, good actors, great chemistry. More buddies scenes needed.”

    “Those two are hilarious. Mack and Aaron are great, the new Paddy and Marlon,” agreed a fifth.

    The new Paddy and Marlon? Would we go that far? Well, we certainly hope these scenes keep coming as the light relief is a welcome change from all the plotting and murders and illnesses in Emmerdale.
