Emmerdale lines up new John Sugden twist amid ‘identity reveal’ with Arthur bombshell
Emmerdale's John Sugden will take centre stage on the ITV soap again next week according to spoilers, as he finds himself in the firing line thanks to teen Arthur Thomas
Viewers of Emmerdale will see John Sugden face a huge accusation amid an identity theory for the newcomer.
Next week, John is called out in front of villagers as Arthur Thomas makes a comment that leads to an accusation. It comes amid a big secret about his past being revealed this week, with fans seeing him open up to sister Victoria Sugden on Tuesday.
After the mystery surrounding an unknown man named Aidan Moore left fans convinced John was hiding something, he revealed all about Aidan. But not everyone was convinced by Aidan’s identity, while pre-reveal fans had been convinced John himself was actually Aidan.
But identity theories aside, John has more trouble ahead next week thanks to Arthur making a claim. He’s falsely accused of sleeping with 17-year-old Arthur, leading to a showdown with the teen’s mother Laurel Thomas.
After Arthur tries to impress John with his flirting, he lies to pal April Windsor that they’ve had sex – only for his mum to hear. Furious, she confronts John who denies the accusations – but will he be believed?

It comes as Arthur rumbles his mum’s fling with Charles Anderson, walking in on them as they give into temptation. Despite her begging her son not to tell anyone, Arthur ends up blurting it out in front of her ex Jai Sharma who is left reeling. But how will Charles’ ex Manpreet Sharma react?
There’s more drama in the week for John too as Mack and Aaron are up to no good, stealing some smart watches. As Aaron is questioned by PC Swirling about being at the scene of the crime he feigns innocence. After no evidence is found Aaron is smug, and Mack soon suggests using Aaron’s love interest John’s van to get rid of the smart watches.
When John refuses to let Aaron borrow his van, Aaron puts his secret plan into motion by taking the keys to the van whilst John is distracted. Mack and Aaron secretly load the stolen smart watches into John’s vehicle, but they soon realise they have gone missing – so who has taken them?
