🔥 THE D.E.A.T.H OF ANTHONY FOX
Earlier this year, Ruby Milligan’s violent father, Anthony Fox, was found d.e.a.d at the Emmerdale depot. Initially, Aaron Dingle believed he was the k.i.l.l.e.r—after violently attacking Anthony just hours before his body was discovered. Tormented by guilt and remorse, Aaron confessed the truth to Ruby… but what she revealed next left him stunned.
Ruby admitted she had k.i.l.l.e.d her father, not Aaron. And once Aaron learned the horrifying truth about Anthony’s past—that he had raped Ruby when she was a child, resulting in the birth of Steph Milligan—he chose to protect Ruby rather than report her to the police.
🤫 WHO KNOWS THE TRUTH?
Right now, only a handful of people know what really happened to Anthony: Ruby, Aaron, Steph, Chas Dingle, Caleb Milligan, Cain Dingle, and Jon Sugden. And they all want to keep it that way. But things are getting complicated.
Jai Sharma, who’s always suspicious around the Milligans, is starting to ask questions. Caleb is especially wary of Jai’s intentions—he knows Jai’s financial history and doesn’t trust him one bit. If Jai digs too deep, he could uncover the entire truth… including the shocking fact that Anthony is Steph’s biological father.
🧨 RUBY CONFRONTS JAI
In upcoming episodes, Ruby decides to shut Jai up—for good. She reveals the abuse she suffered at Anthony’s hands in a blunt and powerful confession. According to actor Will Ash, Ruby’s move is a tactical one: “It’s meant to silence him—and it does.”
Jai may not have fully grasped the gravity of the abuse at first, but once he realizes the truth, he’s left speechless. Still, tensions rise as the group tries to keep the secret buried—literally.
🩺 THE DARK SIDE OF JON SUGDEN
Meanwhile, Jon Sugden is hiding dark secrets of his own. Ever since he entered the village in 2024, he’s portrayed a caring, heroic figure. But behind the mask is a man spiraling out of control.
Jon has formed a deep bond with Aaron, but he’s also been manipulating those around him. After Anthony’s d.e.a.t.h, it was Jon who cleaned up the crime scene, disposed of the body, and made a pact with Ruby, Aaron, and the others. But Emmerdale hints that the body might not stay hidden for long…
🔙 FLASHBACKS & A M.U.R.D.E.R COVER-UP
In a recent flashback-heavy episode, viewers learned shocking new details. Jon had been present during Jacob’s anaphylactic shock and miraculously saved him—only after removing Jacob’s AI pen from his bag earlier. Coincidence? Or a twisted plan?
Later, viewers saw Jon struggling to save a wounded Nate Robinson during a barn fire. But when Nate collapsed, Jon’s darker instincts took over. He shackled Nate’s body and dumped it into the lake. That’s where the body was found months later.
⚠️ AN OBSESSION WITH BEING THE HERO
Jon’s need to play the hero is becoming dangerous. He tampered with Chas Dingle’s medication after a limo crash, causing her to collapse at the Woolpack. He framed Ella Forrester as a stalker and even triggered Jacob’s allergic reaction just to save him and bask in the praise.
He thrives on the drama, creating chaos just so he can “rescue” people and be seen as a savior.
🎭 ACTOR OLIVER FARNWORTH SPEAKS OUT
Actor Oliver Farnworth, who plays Jon, recently opened up about the sinister plotline:
“What’s exciting is that the viewers are the first to know. It gives them a unique insight into Jon’s disturbing secrets. He’s not just a villain—he’s deeply complex, and there’s still so much more to uncover.”
💥 THE STORM AHEAD
The question now is: how long until the rest of the village finds out the truth? With Aaron and Jon planning to marry, will Aaron discover he’s in love with a m.u.r.d.e.r.e.r before it’s too late?
Jon’s web of lies is growing—fast. And once it starts to unravel, it could destroy everything: his relationship with Aaron, the fragile peace within the village, and the trust of everyone he’s manipulated.
📺 WHAT’S NEXT IN EMMERDALE?
With explosive secrets, dangerous obsessions, and chilling flashbacks, Emmerdale is headed toward one of its most jaw-dropping showdowns yet. Will Jon be exposed before Aaron says “I do”? And will the truth about Anthony Fox finally come out?
Stay tuned—because in Emmerdale, no secret stays buried forever.
