ITV Emmerdale village left rocked over DNA family twist as newcomer arrives
Emmerdale residents will be left stunned next week when one villager discovers a long lost sibling in a shock DNA family twist
Emmerdale is set for explosive scenes next week when one villager discovers a long lost sibling.
Spoilers for next week see Victoria Sugden stunned when she learns about a secret family member. In the upcoming scenes, Eric Pollard’s car breaks down and he’s unable to attend an old friend’s funeral. Instead of leaving him stranded, Victoria kindly offers to drive him there.
However, once at the church, it’s not long until Victoria accidentally puts her foot in it with the bereaved son at his mum’s funeral but she is left further stunned to learn his name is John Sugden. Later, Eric awkwardly confirms that John could actually be her half brother and her late father Jack Sugden’s son.
In a twist of fate, it’s not long before back in the village, Mackenzie Boyd receives a call at the garage about a breakdown nearby and it turns out to be John. Eric and Victoria are surprised to find John in the village and it’s not long until the newcomer is ruffling a few feathers with his appearance in the village. It was revealed earlier this month that Oliver Farnworth has been cast as the brooding and mysterious John Sugden.

The Sugdens are one of the most iconic families in the Dales but have been dwindling as of late, with just Victoria and Sarah Sugden left in the village. Actor Oliver, who is playing John, will be well known to soap fans, having starred in both Hollyoaks and Coronation Street. In Corrie, he played a man called Andy Carver, who was a friend of Gavin Rodwell – the son of Michael Rodwell ( Les Dennis ). Andy was murdered by serial killer Pat Phelan, when he found out he was responsible for Michael’s heart attack.
However, John’s arrival isn’t without hiccups – and little is known about him just yet. Is John actually related to Victoria, and if so, how? And what does his arrival mean for her and the rest of the residents of the Dales?
Bosses have teased John will catch the eye of an unsuspecting resident – but who will that be and will that cause chaos? However it all comes about, John will play a key role in the rich history of the iconic Sugden family.
