Victoria gets a shock in Emmerdale spoilers

Next week is full of shocks and surprises for Victoria and one she’s unlikely to forget in a hurry.

Things get off to a horrible start when she learns long-time neighbour Eric Pollard was behind her sacking at the Hide. Victoria is deeply hurt by the betrayal and confides in Aaron Dingle, who tells her to manipulate the situation to her advantage.

Vic decides to do just that and an idea begins to form in her mind. How far will she go to get even with Eric?

Victoria meets John for the first time

Despite all the upset he’s caused her, Victoria ends up coming to Pollard’s rescue when his car breaks down. He needs a lift to his old friend’s funeral, so she kindly offers to drive him there. Huh? Surely this is part of her revenge plan? She can’t have forgiven him already!

Arriving at the church, Victoria puts her foot in it with one of the mourners, who turns out to the dead woman’s grieving son.

Vic is mortified by her faux pas, but that’s nothing compared to her surprise when the man reveals his name – John Sugden! A mere coincidence that they have the same surname? We think not!

Victoria learns a Sugden family secret

Pollard awkwardly confirms to Victoria that it’s likely John is Jack’s secret son, meaning they’re half-siblings. The revelation comes as a huge shock to Vic as she struggles to believe there’s another Sugden offspring she never knew existed.

To Victoria’s knowledge she only has two living siblings. Adoptive brother, Andy – who’s still on the run from the police and current whereabouts unknown. And Robert, who’s serving time in prison for murdering her rapist, Lee Posner.

But might John also be the fruit of Jack’s loins? Let’s not forget old Jack was quite the womaniser in his heyday.

Victoria is overjoyed to see him again and hopes this is their chance to start to get to know one another. But John doesn’t appear to be interested in making friends as he starts ruffling feathers amongst the locals.
