Belle’s Shocking Move After Nate Confession – John’s Biggest Fear Comes

Belle Dingle returned from her visit to the Shetland Isles in Emmerdale tonight (Thursday, April 22), with news that threatens to expose John Sugden. Having taken it upon herself to track Nate down, Belle paid his employer in Scotland a visit… only to learn he’d never turned up for work.

This was a disappointing end to a successful day for John, who had managed to get Moira and Mack talking again. Feeling guilty over Mack’s recent unpopularity, John decided to play the hero again, facilitating a reconciliation. Bad news for Moira, though…

John manipulated Mack and Moira in Emmerdale tonight

This came as a guilt-ridden Mack reacted to his shame over the slurry leak by backing out of being Aaron’s best man. Determined to save the day, John snuck up to the farm. He then sabotaged the old trailer Moira had been working on, by removing two nuts.

Then, when it collapsed on her, he summoned Mack to the farm with a flimsy excuse. Mack arrived on the scene to find Moira trapped under the trailer.

Freeing his sister, Mack went from sub-zero to hero, and suddenly all (well, most) was forgiven. John, meanwhile, basked in the feeling of a job well done as brother and sister reconciled, and Mack agreed to take on best man duties again.

Belle returned with news about Nate

Unbeknownst to John, Belle was on her way back from Shetland.

She soon confirmed to Sam that Nate had never turned up for work, setting into motion a chain of events which may very well expose his k.i.l.l.e.r. Is John’s secret about to be uncovered?

Belle to expose John in Emmerdale? Everything that happens next

In Emmerdale spoilers for tomorrow, Cain is shocked to learn that Nate never made it to Scotland. John is horrified to realise that Belle knows Nate is missing. Covering his tracks, he attempts to convince her not to call the police.

Believing John when he tells her that Nate doesn’t want to be found, Belle agrees not to file a missing person’s report. And, as the Dingles prepare for the next day’s wedding, she puts Nate to the back of her mind.

However, John has another fire to put out when he hears Moira tell Cain that the water company has to dredge the lake. All the time, Nate’s body is waiting to be found…
