Danny Miller has ‘revealed’ his character’s link with John Sugden on Emmerdale.
Oliver Farnworth is joining the ITV soap as the mysterious John Sugden, but we are yet to find out exactly why he is there, what he’s doing and how he’s connected to the soap’s iconic family. There are little Sugden connections in the village now, with Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) being one of the only other members of the family still there.
Of course, Aaron Dingle has a connection to the Sugdens, with him and Robert Sugden having dated for a while. Affectionately named ‘Robron’ by fans of the soap, there have been talks amongst viewers about a potential return for Robert.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror on the red carpet at the Radio Times Soap Awards, he said: “There’s a Sugden coming in. With the history that Aaron has with Robert, it’ll be interesting to see what happens with them. It’ll be an interesting few months for sure.”

When Oliver’s casting was announced, soap bosses warned John’s arrival will “create a stir” in the village.
Emmerdale’s Producer Laura Shaw teased: “We are thrilled to have an actor with Oliver’s talent and presence join the Emmerdale family. The Sugden’s have always been central to Emmerdale, and introducing a new member opens up exciting possibilities for future storylines. Mysterious John’s arrival will no doubt create a stir in the village for Victoria and the wider community.”
Oliver added: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining the cast of Emmerdale. The show has such a rich history, and the Sugden family is integral to that. I’m looking forward to bringing my character to life and working with such a talented and dedicated team.”
Pictures from filming have shown John getting caught up in an explosion, which seems like a barn fire. Will Aaron Dingle also play a part in this, and how long will it be before John’s connection to the Sugdens is revealed?
With Aaron’s connection to Robert Sugden still a forefront in his mind – after a recent mention on the ITV soap – could Aaron have some sort of link to the new arrival – and what’s in store for the pair?
