Emmerdale reveals who’s already suspicious in Anthony exit story

Emmerdale spoilers follow from Tuesday’s episode (January 28), which is available to watch now on streaming service ITVX but hasn’t yet aired on ITV1.

The following article contains discussion of sexual misconduct.

Emmerdale has hinted that Manpreet Sharma could become a big problem for Aaron Dingle and John Sugden.

Manpreet was disturbed by the couple’s ongoing cover-up in Tuesday’s episode as the aftermath of Anthony Fox’s death continued.

Aaron targeted Anthony with a brutal beating last week after discovering that he was a child abuser who’d preyed on his daughter Ruby when she was a teenager.

The violent encounter took place at Caleb Miligan’s depot and Aaron fled from the scene afterwards. When Aaron and John returned, Anthony had passed away.

John insisted on covering for Aaron by disposing of the body and dealing with the crime scene.

To make it look like Anthony had left the village of his own accord, Aaron and John moved the villain’s car to Cain Dingle’s garage. They knew that the vehicle repair business would be closed for a few days, as Cain was focusing on family commitments.

Aaron set to work on stripping down the vehicle and crushing the individual parts, needing to work quickly to avoid sparking any suspicion.

Tuesday’s episode saw Aaron update John after dark, confirming that he’d made positive progress.

Aaron explained: “Just need to get the chassis crushed tonight and then we’re done.”

John revealed that he’d been keeping a close eye on proceedings at Caleb’s depot – and things seemed fine on that front too.

He promised: “You get rid of that that thing and we are spotless. Nothing to connect us to anything. Home and dry.”

However, at that very moment, Manpreet appeared to have been disturbed by the noise going on outside.

Manpreet was seen peeping from her bedroom window at Dale Head to see what was going on, although it was unclear whether she’d spotted Aaron and John or not.

Scenes like these are rarely featured for no reason, so could Manpreet play a role in Aaron and John’s story as it continues?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
