Emmerdale spoilers: Arthur lies over his relationship with John causing all hell to break loose

Arthur wants to make out he’s Mr Popular, and in next week’s Emmerdale spoilers he brags to April he’s bedded hunky John Sugden. But his silly little lie sets in motion a chain of events that could have huge consequences. We think there’s a moral to this story, kids!

Arthur has been a busy boy in Emmerdale spoilers

Arthur has come back from Australia a very different person to the one that went. He’s no longer this meek and mild lad – this is someone who’s been bold enough to take on nasty Jai and win!

It also seems Arthur is ready for love again after his break up with Marshall. He recently hit it off with newcomer Lewis and invited him over to his for a few beers. Their date went well, until Jai gatecrashed and realised Arthur hadn’t told Laurel what he was up to. Keeping secrets from your parents? Sounds like a typical teenager to us.

Now it seems Arthur has set his sights on another gay in the village – John Sugden. Blimey, that’s a bit ambitious! For starters John’s at least 20 years older, and second – what would Laurel say about it?

Arthur tells a lie

In a bid to show his maturity, Arthur starts flirting with John in front of April.

She’s surprised by Arthur’s forward behaviour, but he doesn’t want to be seen as a young kid anymore. So when April asks what’s going on between him and John, Arthur makes out they’ve slept together.

Laurel overhears Arthur’s confession and is appalled by the thought of her son having sex with a grown man.

Believing John must have been taken advantage of Arthur, Laurel sees red and storms off to find him. It’s all going to kick off!

Arthur lands Laurel in it

By the time Laurel finds John in The Woolpack she’s raging. She lays into him over his ‘affair’ with Arthur – but of course, John hasn’t got a clue what she’s on about.

As John protests his innocence, Arthur walks in and is mortified. But Laurel is the one left red-faced when Arthur outs her affair with Charles to everyone in the pub – including Jai.

What will Jai do next? Are Arthur’s lies going to lead to even more trouble?
