Emmerdale fans turn on Victoria over her behaviour with John

Victoria Sugden in Emmerdale is getting on the nerves of viewers who have said the way she is acting towards new half-brother John Sugden is irritating.

John isn’t interested in building a relationship with his sister. In fact he wants to get out of the village as soon as he possibly can. But Vic has seized the opportunity to smoother him in sibling love – and he’s not keen.

Fans have also had almost as much as they can take of her. Here’s what they’re saying..

Victoria smoothers John in Emmerdale

From the second she found out John was probably her half-brother, Victoria was like a puppy. She fawned over him, excitedly introduced herself and was crestfallen when he really wasn’t interested.

She gave the guy a break, she did go in all guns blazing at his mother’s funeral after all, but when he turned up in the village and still didn’t want to get to know her, she took action. Victoria decided to kill him with kindness.

Vic then insisted he stay with her, made him tea and toast, was at his beck and call and even fought his battles for him when she confronted Aaron and Mack. Yet still, John is not giving her anything back.

She even tried to find out more about his past when she handed him a pair of dog tags yesterday. She’d found them stashed in Harry’s room. But he clammed up again and told her he didn’t talk about that time in his life. So clearly he has something to hide.

Will Vic let it go? Of course she won’t, expect more probing and pushing in tonight’s Emmerdale (Wednesday August 14)

Victoria looks confused — Her behaviour is getting on John’s nerves – and fans’ too!

Fans fed-up

Those watching at home don’t blame John for not wanting to chat to Victoria – they think she’s being very annoying!

One asked on social media after the episode aired on Tuesday August 13, “Is Victoria doing anyone else’s head in?”

“She really bugged me tonight,” one agreed and another added: “YESSSS!!!!!! I was cussing!! He’s not even being nice to you and you’re flying around this title of half-brother and coming down on your friends…..get a life lol.”

“She’s like a puppy following that creep about. Think they are really running out of what to write!!” said one more.

A fifth added: “I kept saying to the screen ‘Victoria please just [bleep] OFF!!..She’s like an irritating fly that keeps flying around you when you’re trying to eat dinner…Poor John…”

“She’s everywhere like a bad smell that won’t go away,” said one more.

Someone else compared her to a stalker! “Victoria is basically Martha from Baby Reindeer. Weirdo”

Another wrote: “Next scene will be John trying to go to the bog only to suddenly find Victoria standing beside him saying ‘Hi. What are you doing now?'”

Is she getting on your nerves too?
